NEW CITY WIDE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY GUIDELINES
Vision Clearance Guidelines at Intersections
A
A
Before:
Visibility of the
person attempting to cross
the street is blocked
A A
Background
Daylighting approaches to intersections and pedestrian crossings by setting back on-street parking is current best practice in cities across the country. In Oregon, state law allows cities to set their own regulations regarding intersection approaches. In the past, Portland has not required daylighting intersections. That's about to change.
Why the change?
In a word: safety. We're updating our design guidelines to improve safety for all modes at street intersections and crossings. PBOT has updated our design guidelines to set back on-street parking at uncontrolled approaches (the legs of intersections that do not have stop signs or signals) to marked and unmarked crosswalks on pedestrian priority streets. Pedestrian priority streets include City Walkways, Neighborhood Greenways, on arterial and collector streets in Pedestrian Districts, and on the High Crash Network.
After:
Setting back parking at
intersections improves visibility
for all modes
Will every intersection change?
No. New vision clearance guidelines will be implemented as new capital projects and PBOT-reviewed private development projects are constructed moving forward. PBOT will also continue to conduct engineering analysis to evaluate intersection visibility in response to public requests through the 823-SAFE hotline.

MATH2050B Mathematical Analysis I 18/19
Assignment 5
```
Let (xn) be a bounded sequence, yn := sup{ xn, xn+1, ...}. v ∈ IR is said to be an essential upper bound of (xn) if ∃N ∈ IN such that xm ≤ v ∀ n ≥ N. Let V := { v ∈ IR : v is an essential upper bound of (xn) } and L := { l ∈ IR : ∃ a subseqeunce of (xn) convergent to l }
```
Show that
1. By what theorem (how it is stated), you can conclude that y ∗ := lim n ( y n ) does exist and y ∗ = inf{ yn : n ∈ IN } ?
2. Letα∈ IR. Then
y
∗
≤ αiff ∀ϵ >0,∃N∈ IN s.t. x
n
< α+ϵ∀n≥ N
and
α≤ y
∗
iff ∀ϵ >0,∀N∈ IN,∃n > Ns.t. α− ϵ < x
n
3. Whate are yn, y ∗ , V and L if xn = 1 n ∀ n (do the same for xn = 1 − 1 n ∀ n ).
4. Show that any upper bound of (xn) is an essential upper bound of (xn), and that any lower bound of (xn) is a lower bound of V so inf V exists in IR.
5. inf V = max L = y ∗ (denoted by lim n sup x n )

Transitioning from Warm-Season to Cool-Season Grass: Optimizing with DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer
As turf professionals, we know the complexities of managing the transition between warm-season and cool-season grasses. The seasonal shift, particularly in regions like Arizona, demands precise nutrient management to ensure a smooth transition, promoting strong establishment of cool-season grasses while maintaining the health of warm-season turf. DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer's technology offers a highly efficient solution, reducing labor and additional inputs while optimizing nutrient delivery throughout this critical period.
Here's a fully vetted protocol from a respected golf course superintendent currently transitioning his course in Arizona.
Recommended Transition Protocol
Greens, Tees, and Fairways
For transitioning from warm-season grass (such as Bermuda) to cool-season grass (such as Rye), follow these application protocols for consistent nutrient release over a 90-day period:
* Greens (1mm pellets):
Apply 5 pounds per 1,000 sq ft at the overseeding stage to ensure even nutrient release and promote rapid establishment of cool-season turf.
* Tees & Fairways (2mm pellets):
Apply 5 pounds per 1,000 sq ft during the overseeding process. This ensures the warm-season grass retains enough nutrients to stay healthy while cool-season grass is establishing. DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer releases nutrients consistently throughout the growth cycle.
General Lawn and Open Area Applications:
* For transitioning larger open areas:
Apply between 2.33 and 5 pounds per 1,000 sq ft. This application supports the overall nutrient needs for the transition period, ensuring that both warm- and cool-season grasses receive the balanced nutrients they require without leaching or flushing.
The DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer Advantage
90-Day Steady Nutrient Release:
The transition period can be demanding on turf systems, and maintaining nutrient levels without over-application is key. With DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer's patented slow-release technology, nutrients are released consistently over 90 days, giving the new cool-season grass the foundation it needs while supporting the remaining warm-season turf.
Reduced Labor and Input Costs:
During the transition, most courses rely on multiple applications of conventional fertilizers, along with regulators, wetting agents, and foliar products. With DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer, you'll need only one application per 90-day period, drastically cutting down on labor and additional product costs. This is particularly critical during the high-demand overseeding phase, where qualified labor shortages are common.
Efficient Nutrient Utilization:
After watering for 3-4 days, the unique swelling process of DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer begins. By day 6, you'll see evidence of nutrient uptake as the cool-season grass starts to establish. The formula ensures that nutrients are available exactly when the plant needs them, without wasteful leaching into the soil.
Maximize Results with Organic REV:
For optimal transition results, apply DAKOTA REV at 3 ounces per 1,000 sq ft on a monthly basis. This combination provides a superior nutrient foundation that reduces or eliminates the need for other products like foliar nutrients, wetting agents, or fungicides.
Proven Results for Seasonal Transition
By following this protocol, turf managers will:
* Strengthen cool-season turf establishment while maintaining the integrity of warm-season grass.
* Reduce the number of applications needed during the overseeding process, cutting down labor and material costs.
* Improve turf quality by maintaining consistent nutrient levels and reducing the need for additional inputs such as fungicides or regulators.
Conclusion: Take Control of Your Seasonal Transition
The transition from warm-season to cool-season turf is a critical period for any golf course, and DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer offers an innovative, efficient, and cost-effective solution. This fully vetted protocol, tested and proven by a respected course superintendent, ensures you can optimize nutrient delivery during the transition phase with fewer applications and less stress on your budget.
Make the smart choice for your golf course by integrating DAKOTA Smart Fertilizer into your seasonal transition program today.

Identity and Access Management Cyber-Security Provider BIO-key's Q2 Revenue Rises 96% to $1.9M, Driven by Growth in Software, Services and Products; Investor Call Today at 10am ET
WALL, NJ – August 12, 2022 - BIO-key® International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM) and large-scale identity solutions, featuring Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB), today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022 (Q2'22). BIO-key is hosting a conference call today at 10:00 a.m. ET (details below) to review its results and outlook.
Highlights:
* Q2'22 revenues rose 96% to $1.9M from $1.0M in Q2'21, driven by a $0.5M increase in software license fees, as well as $0.3M and $0.15M increases in hardware and services revenue, respectively.
* Expanded PortalGuard Penetration with new customers, including YYK Enterprises Operations and a Texas City and New Channel Alliance Program partners, including the Amazon Web Services Partner Network, 3Eye Technologies and Darksteel Technologies.
* BIO-key's PortalGuard® platform was a gold recipient of Security Today magazine's 2022 Govies Government Security Award in User Authentication/Identification/Credentialing and Management; the Publisher's Choice for Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) Award from Cyber Defense Magazine during RSA 2022; the 2022 Fortress Cyber Security Award in Authentication and Identity; and RemoteTech Breakthrough's Identity Management Solution of the Year 2022.
BIO-key CEO Michael DePasquale commented, "Our second quarter and first half revenue demonstrate growing momentum in our base of annual recurring revenue (ARR) from software licenses, which is a core focus and principal value driver for our business. Our Q2'22 performance included the first full quarter of operating results from our Swivel Secure Europe operations acquired in March and the integration of this business is proceeding according to plan.
"PortalGuard continues to gain momentum in higher education, municipal governments, and enterprises as a high-value, easy-to-deploy solution for hybrid access needs. Our progress is being supported by a growing base of Channel Alliance Partners (CAP) around the world, strong customer references, an expanding base of industry awards, and our digital and direct sales and marketing initiatives. Customers are increasingly recognizing PortalGuard's value, flexibility and support for sixteen multi-factor authentication factors, including BIO-key's industry leading Identity Bound Biometric capabilities.
Outlook
"BIO-key has built a strong base of products and services and a growing global footprint of partnerships and direct sales resources to address the substantial cybersecurity and IAM needs around the world. Given our progress to date and the growing scope of opportunities we are identifying, we remain confident in achieving our full-year 2022 revenue guidance of $10-13M, representing growth of over 100% above 2021. We believe BIOkey is positioned to achieve break-even operations within this range, subject to our mix of hardware and highermargin software revenue.
"Our guidance anticipates continued growth in recurring software license revenue to roughly 70% of the lower end of our revenue range, supported by hardware and services revenue contributions that are generally tied to
specific projects. Our outlook is supported by our strong capital position, talented management and product development teams, and our expanding global sales, marketing and channel partner footprint."
Financial Results
Q2'22 revenues increased 96% to $1.9M from $0.9M in Q2'21, driven by a 75.5% increase in software license revenue as well as solid growth in both hardware and services revenue.
Gross profit grew to $1.2M in Q2'22 from $0.8M in Q2'21, due primarily to increased revenues. Gross profit margin declined from 75% in Q2'21 to 63% in Q2'22, due to growth in lower-margin hardware revenue and a decline in the gross margin realized on license fees as a result of third party-software required for Swivel Secure licenses.
Total operating expenses increased to $2.8M in Q2'22 from $1.9M in Q2'21, reflecting a $0.6M increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $0.3M increase in research, development and engineering expenses. Increases included the consolidation of Swivel Secure and increased personnel costs related to multiple new hires. Higher research, development & engineering costs were attributable to costs associated with the development and Q2 launch of significant enhancements and updates to our MobileAuth application, the only multi-factor authentication mobile app that integrates Identity-Bound Biometrics with other authentication modalities.
BIO-key reported a net loss of $1.7M, or $0.21 per share, compared to a Q2'21 loss of $1.2M, or $0.15 per share. Weighted average basic shares outstanding were approximately 8.1M in Q2'22 and 7.8M in Q2'21.
Financial Strength
BIO-key ended the second quarter with working capital of $8.8M, including $4.9M of cash and cash equivalents and $4.9M in inventory, and a book value of $13.6M, or approximately $1.61 per share.

I hope everyone found a way to enjoy summer in Montana despite the intense heat! It is time to start preparing for a change of seasons already, and that means back-to-school time. Below are some common questions I get from kids and teenagers as this time of year rolls around.
Q. What is a good skincare routine for me?
Everyone has different skincare needs, but most people should be doing two basic things: wearing sunscreen daily and washing their face at night. If you have other issues such as dryness, oily skin, or acne, you will likely need additional steps in your routine.
Q. What type of sunscreen do you recommend?
I recommend a mineral-based sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher that is tinted. Tinted versions work better and blend in nicer.
Q. What face wash do you recommend?
Start with a gentle cleanser and adjust to meet your needs. I recommend Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser as a good starting point. It removes makeup, sunscreen and dirt. Also, you need lukewarm water to activate most cleansers. While cold water may help reduce inflamed and puffy skin, it does not work best with cleansers.
Q. What if I have acne — what should I add to my skincare routine?
In my experience, you usually have to attack acne with more than one product, and it takes about three months to start noticing any improvement. So, if you are suffering from acne, I recommend making a dermatology appointment sooner than later. In the meantime, start with a cleanser that has benzoyl peroxide in it. CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser is a good one. Since this cleanser can bleach fabrics, I recommend using it in the shower. Also, you need to let the cleanser sit for 2-5 minutes before rinsing.
Q. What is the best type of makeup to use?
My recommendations … #1 – purchase your foundation from Ulta or Sephora. These stores allow you to return used product if you end up not liking it afterall. #2 – it is all about color matching. Take the time to find a makeup brand with the best color match for your skin tone. #3 – do not depend on your makeup to substitute for sunscreen. We do not apply enough makeup to give us adequate sun coverage. We often need an extra layer of sunscreen underneath our makeup. And then we have to reapply every two hours to maintain the protections. For this I use ColoreScience powder sunscreen.
Q. I wear deodorant but still sweat a lot.
Not all deodorants have an antiperspirant in them. To help reduce sweating, I recommend antiperspirants with an aluminum-based ingredient. Certain Dri (solid version) is a great product. Also, it takes eight hours for these ingredients to work, so apply your antiperspirants at night and in the morning.
Q. What can I do for smelly feet and underarms?
I get asked these questions a lot. If washing regularly and wearing antiperspirants are not helping, a prescription for a topical antibiotic is often needed to help with unwanted odors.
August is Alopecia Awareness Month, a time to educate about hair loss and its treatments. Hair loss, or alopecia, can be caused by hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, or genetic factors. There are several different types of alopecia. To help you understand your hair loss condition it is important to establish care with Dr. Riddle or one of our PAs. This ensures that you have a professional who understands your unique hair and scalp needs and can provide the best possible care. Our office offers comprehensive care for hair loss, starting with an accurate diagnosis to identify the root cause. There are various medical treatments, including medications and topical solutions.
For cosmetic improvements, our Hair Clinic offers PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) injections, which use your own blood to stimulate hair growth. Personalized consultations ensure that treatment plans are tailored to individual needs. Follow-up care is crucial, with regular monitoring and adjustments to the treatment plan to achieve the best outcomes. The Hair Clinic uses Hair Metrix (AI and imaging technology) which will analyze hair and scalp conditions, assessing hair density and thickness. The Hair Clinic offers complimentary consultations. This consultation can help you make informed decisions about your hair loss treatment, increasing the likelihood of satisfactory results. If you are experiencing hair loss, scheduling a consultation is a vital first step to exploring safe and effective treatment options.

**WAR ON MELANOMA**
*Billings Dermatology & Aesthetics* is proud to support the **Start Seeing Melanoma** movement presented by *The War on Melanoma*.
The War on Melanoma is an all-fronts effort to eliminate melanoma as a cause of death, primarily focusing on the link between early detection of melanoma leading to improved survivorship.
The War on Melanoma brings science, technology, and public health outreach together with patients, families and care providers with the goal of ending deaths from this form of cancer.
Most death is preventable with education and screening. When melanoma is found and treated early, the chances for survival are excellent. Like other cancers, the further melanoma progresses, the harder it is to treat. Five-year survival rates for patients with early stage (Stage I melanoma) are greater than 90% to 95%. When melanoma is discovered after it spreads, or metastasizes, survival rates can drop to 25% and the treatments are difficult and very expensive. ♦ Learn more at startseeingmelanoma.com

Analysis of changes in drought occurrence over the Mediterranean Basin using multiple time scales SPI index
Ramona Magno, Massimiliano Pasqui and Edmondo Di Giuseppe
16th EMS Annual Meeting & 11th European Conference on Applied Climatology (ECAC)
12–16 September 2016 Trieste, Italy
Drought is a recurrent feature of climate variability and can produce severe impacts on a wide range of human activities. Today water management services in Europe are mainly focused on saving water and improving its quality, but climate and societal expected changes will increase competition between various users and economic sectors, while water becomes an increasingly scarce resource (The Leeuwarden Declaration, 2016).
There are an increasing numbers of studies on drought trend analysis using specific indices over Mediterranean basin; some consider the whole Europe (e.g.: Lloyd-Hughes&Saunders, 2002, Sousa et al., 2011, Hoerling et al., 2012, Achcar et al., 2016).
There are several studies at national or regional scale, with a stronger research activity on north-western and central part of the basin (Spain, Italy and Greece).
Analysis are related to simple trends assessment (Buttafuoco et al., 2014), to indices comparison (Spinoni et al., 2015) or on the relation between drought/precipitation trends and teleconnections, SST, temperature rise (Sousa et al., 2011; Kingston et al., 2015; Hoerling et al., 2011; Vincente-Serrano et al., 2014; Mühlbauer et al., 2016; Mariotti&dell’Aquila, 2012; Xoplaki et al., 2012) or weather types (Russo et al., 2015; Vincente-Serrano et al., 2006).
Results of these studies are mostly in agreements, differences are due to:
- Choice of drought indices
- Choice of the dataset: spatial and time scales; distribution and consistency of ground data
- Choice of the statistical methods to assess trends or to compare data
In this study the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) at multiple time scales (3, 6, 12 months) was used in order to evaluate trends of drought events in the Mediterranean Basin. This index is particularly suitable both because it requires only precipitation data and the standardization of the values permits a comparison between areas climatically and geographically different.
**DATASET**
To obtain a spatiotemporal homogeneity of the SPI, the analysis was carried out using a gridded monthly precipitation dataset, covering an extended long time period.
CRU TS v.3.23 (Climatic Research Unit) - 0.5° grid resolution and a time span from 1901 to 2014.
**TREND ANALYSIS OVERVIEW**
1. we consider the arrival rate of drought events as a counting process of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP), where the arrival rate do not remain constant through time
2. we consider the use of a special case of NHPP’s: the power law process defined in Crow (1974)
3. $\chi^2$ test of trend significance
Trend analysis: which methodology?
In SPI trend-time analysis, a moving window is often used to count events in dryness classes. Then, a linear regression and its associated tests is typically adopted to evaluate the drought risk variation in time; among many, Naresh Kumar et al. (2012) and Jha, Sehgal, and Raghava (2011).
However, when a truncation level is imposed, time series of climatological extreme phenomena become counting processes.
Generally, the arrival rate of events of a counting process follows a Poisson distribution and, furthermore, if the arrival rate do not remain constant through time, then it follows a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP).
We consider the use of a special case of NHPP’s: the power law process defined in Crow (1974).
The power law approach suggests the use of the $\chi^2$ test for time-trend analysis. This approach is commonly used in risk evaluation, for example Ho (1996) uses it to evaluate volcanic eruptions time-trend or in lifetime analysis. Nevertheless, SPI applications in this theoretical framework already exist, for example Achcar, Coelho-Barros, and Souza (2016) use NHPP to identify change points in time series of droughts in Brazil.
Nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP)
An homogeneous Poisson process has a constant recurrence rate for drought events. To analyze the increasing of those events we need to allow $\lambda$ be a function of time: $\lambda(t)$. This nonhomogeneous Poisson process has mean function $\mu(t, \Theta)$, with $\Theta$ vector of parameters and intensity function:
$$\lambda(t, \Theta) = \frac{d}{dt} \mu(t, \Theta)$$
More specifically, let $N(t); t \geq 0$ be the number of droughts observed in $(0,t]$ then $\mu(t, \Theta)$ represents the expected number of events in $(0,t]$ and $\lambda(t, \Theta)$ their associated recurrence rate.
Power law
Using a power law to define the mean and intensity functions they become:
$$\mu(t, \Theta) = \left(\frac{t}{\sigma}\right)^{\beta} \quad \beta, \sigma > 0$$
$$\lambda(t, \Theta) = \left(\frac{\beta}{\sigma}\right) \left(\frac{t}{\sigma}\right)^{\beta-1}$$
where $\Theta = c(\beta, \sigma)$
Now, we can model droughts by means of a power law process supposing that $n>1$ violations from predetermined threshold are observed in $(0,t]$ at time $0 < t_1 \leq t_2 \cdots \leq tn \leq t$ and we compute
$$S = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \ln(t/t_i)$$
SPI time-trend test
From $S$, Crow obtained maximum likelihood estimators of parameters:
mean (Crow, 1974) \quad \hat{\beta} = n/S \quad \hat{\sigma} = t/n^{1/\hat{\beta}}
intensity (Crow, 1982) \quad \lambda(t) = (\hat{\beta}/\hat{\sigma})(t/\hat{\sigma})^{\hat{\beta}-1} = n\hat{\beta}/t
In this framework, the analysis of droughts time-trend is completely determined by $\beta$:
- $\beta > 1$, the intensity of droughts is increasing
- $\beta < 1$, decreasing
- $\beta = 1$ constant, i.e. the process is homogeneous Poisson.
Under the null hypothesis $H_0: \beta = 1$, the statistic is distributed as follows: $2S \sim \chi^2_{2n}$
The test rejects the null hypothesis if
$$\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2,2n} \leq 2S \leq \chi^2_{\alpha/2,2n}$$
where $\chi^2_{\alpha/2,2n}$ is the $\alpha$-percentile of the $\chi^2$ distribution with $2n$ degrees of freedom.
The $\chi^2$ trend test is performed both at 0.05 and 0.10 error acceptance rates and the null hypothesis states that:
“there is not a linear trend of drought episodes during the entire period 1901-2014”.
Technically, a significant results of this test means that there is no statistical evidence in favor of an absence of time-trend and the probability of error is 5(10) cases out of 100.
Selected seasons:
- SPI3 -> Feb, May, Aug, Nov
- SPI6 -> Feb, May
- SPI12 -> Aug
Three negative SPI classes:
- drought risk (SPI< -1)
- extremely dry (SPI< -2)
- extremely&severely dry (SPI< -1.5)
SPI-12 for August (yearly hydrological cycle)
- tendency of an increasing drought risk is present in several areas of Mediterranean basin: Southern Spain, Sardinia, Tuscany, a portion of Algerian coast.
- Extreme drought class reveals an increasing of episodes in Central Spain and Campania region.

SPI-3 for May-August-November (Spring-Summer-Autumn precipitation deficit)
- increasing drought risk in Morocco and small areas of Southern Spain, Sardinia, Tuscany during Spring; and in Sardinia, Tuscany and Macedonia during Autumn.
- no evidence of episodes increasing in Extreme class
Spring Drought risk Summer Drought risk Autumn Drought risk
Trend
Negative Positive
Discussion
This study investigates the existence of linear trend of drought events in the Mediterranean basin during the period 1901-2014:
→ the analysis of August SPI-12 shows that the tendency of an increasing drought risk is present in several parts of Mediterranean basin and, particularly, an increasing of Extreme episodes in Central Spain and Campania region;
→ the analysis of SPI-6 (Feb and May) reveals again the increasing of drought risk for Central Spain and Campania region and it extends this results to Macedonia, Greece and some part of South Turkey;
→ SPI-3 index reproduces the drought risk due to seasonal precipitation deficit: February, May, August and November SPI-3 are for Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, respectively. The results show that Winter is the most involved in increasing trend of droughts.
In general, the extending of test error acceptance level to 0.10 does not give further information with respect to 0.05 level, except for few local cases.
These findings are similar to those shown in previous studies: Lloyd-Hughes&Saunders, 2002, Sousa et al., 2011, Hoerling et al., 2012.
The statistical robustness is here guaranteed by more simple assumptions.
Further developments
This approach could be adopted in order to:
- identifying change points in time series of droughts and analysing trend in associated sub-periods or epochs;
- Highlighting active atmospheric and oceanic forcing mechanisms during specific epochs.
- Improving the quality of climate services (in the water management sector) both at seasonal and at decadal time scale.

Project acronym: ENSEMBLES
Project title: ENSEMBLE-based Predictions of Climate Changes and their Impacts
Instrument: Integrated Project
Thematic Priority: Global Change and Ecosystems
D2B.4 A first prototype of web service for downscaling at seasonal-to-decadal timescales (Task 2B.2.2)
Due date of deliverable: Month 18 (28-Feb-2006)
Actual submission date: 28-Feb-2006
Start date of project: 1 September 2004
Duration: 60 Months
Organisation name of lead contractor for this deliverable:
Partner 44 THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF METEOROLOGY OF SPAIN (INM)
Revision [28-Feb-2006]
One of the Ensemble's project aims is maximizing the exploitation of the results by linking the outputs of the ensemble prediction system to a range of applications, including agriculture, health, food security, energy, water resources, insurance and weather risk management. In order to accomplish this task, both dynamical and statistical downscaling techniques will be developed by several partners of the project.
In this document we present the work done by The National Institute of Meteorology of Spain (INM, partner 44) in collaboration with University of Cantabria (UC, partner 62) to provide user-friendly access through the Web to some of these statistical downscaling techniques developed in RT2B.
Statistical downscaling techniques link model outputs to observations providing a projection operator. This operator is trained with reanalysis data (from ERA40) and is later applied to outputs of seasonal-to-decadal and climate change simulations. The following schema illustrates the components of the application. GCM forecasts (seasonal to decadal and climatic change, from RT2A and RT3) will be downscaled to local stations (or uniform observation grids) from end-users (RT6) using any of the available downscaling algorithms (RT2B). All this process will be performed from a web browser following three steps: where (region where downscaling will be performed), what (variable to be downscaled), and how (GCM output and downscaling method to be used).
The first prototype of the statistical downscaling web application is available here: http://www.meteo.unican.es/ensembles
The current features are:
* Observations in a 0.5 by 0.5 grid over Europe provided by JRC (predictands).
* ERA40 reanalysis fields over Europe (predictors).
* DEMETER seasonal to decadal outputs from UKMO, MPI, ECMWF models for 1997-1998 (ouputs from models for downscaling).
* The current downscaling method implemented in the application is an analog method described in: A.S. Cofiño, J.M. Gutiérrez, and R. Cano "Analysis and downscaling multi-model seasonal forecasts in Perú using self-organizing maps", Tellus A, 57, 435-447 (2005).

Tuberculosis of the Skull Mimicking Multiple Myeloma
Kok Long PAN, FRCS; M ZULKARNAEN, MPath
Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Sarawak
SUMMARY
The ESR was 20 mm in first hour and Mantoux test was less than 10mm. Sputum AFB sent three times was also negative. Chest x-ray was clear.
KEY WORDS:
There is a resurgence of tuberculosis globally but lesions affecting the skull are rare. Cases reported are of single, focal lesions as seen on plain x-rays. We report a 34 yearold patient with tuberculosis of the skull where multiple punched out lesions are seen, mimicking that of multiple myeloma.
Tuberculosis, skull, mimicking, multiple myeloma
INTRODUCTION
Tuberculosis involving the skull, though rare, is still being reported in endemic areas, especially in Asia. These are usually solitary, focal, lucent lesions seen clinically and on plain x-rays. Diagnosis does not pose a problem. When multiple punched out lesions are seen, they mimic multiple myeloma and may lead us on a wrong diagnostic pathway.
CASE REPORT
A 34 year-old female was referred to our hospital for a swelling over the scalp. X-rays of the skull had shown multiple punched out lesions and was reported by a radiologist as highly suggestive of multiple myeloma.
On further questioning, the patient said that the swelling had been present for 4 years. It had slowly grown in size but was not painful. Over the 4 years, she had been having headaches and giddiness on and off. She had visited a provincial government clinic on many occasions but no one had seen the swelling on the scalp which was covered by her hair. Her blood pressure had been recorded as normal and she was routinely prescribed with analgesics. Three months before coming to us, she finally showed the swelling to the doctor, for which an x-ray was taken. Multiple myeloma was suspected when the punched out lesions were seen. Serum for protein electrophoresis and urine Bence Jones protein was sent to the state capital but took 2 months for the report to come back as negative. It was then that the patient was referred to us.
On examination, the patient was generally well. The swelling was over the right parietal region, just above the hairline. It was 4x4 cm, soft and cystic. The skin was slightly red but not warm and it was not tender. Plain x-rays of the skull showed multiple punched out lesions (Figures 1 and 2).
The initial blood investigations were normal. The Hb was 11.1 g/dL, WBC 9.3 x 10 9 /L with the lymphocytes at 26.9%.
An incisional biopsy was then decided upon. At the surgery, the gross appearance of the swelling was a transparent, gellike material with streaks of whitish fibrous tissue laced across it. Histopathological examination reported it as: "multiple areas of epithelioid cell collections and scattered Langhan multinucleated giant cells. An area of necrosis is seen. Scattered mature lymphocytes and plasma cells are noted. No malignant cells seen. Special stains for acid fast bacilli and fungal bodies are negative. The picture is one of chronic granulomatous inflammation consistent with tuberculosis."
Anti-tuberculosis therapy was started and the patient has been well on follow-up.
DISCUSSION
There is a resurgence of tuberculosis in the world. In Africa and developed Western countries, the increase is due mainly to HIV and migration. It is still endemic in many Asian countries and two thirds of cases originate from the continen 1 . Even in endemic areas, tuberculosis involving the skull is rare 2,3 . We reviewed three series of skull tuberculosis published in the literature; Raut 4 reported 42 cases, Diyora 2 11 cases and Patankar 5 five cases. In each of these reports, the involvement of the skull, as shown on plain x-rays, was of a single lucent lesion.
Our patient had multiple punched out lesions and these resembled that of multiple myeloma. Some delay was engendered while waiting for the results of the serum electrophoresis and Bence Jones proteins. It was when these were negative that we proceeded to biopsy the lesion which was suggestive of tuberculosis. We note there is no confirmatory evidence of the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The acid-fast stains were negative, the ESR was only 20mm in first hour and the Mantoux was < 10 mm. The histopathological findings were compatible with tuberculosis and that she responded to anti-TB treatment is supportive of the diagnosis.
CONCLUSION
Tuberculosis of the skull can involve the skull and appear as multiple punched out lesions mimicking those of a multiple myeloma. Awareness of this will help to prevent a delay in diagnosis.

Review of Diagnosis to First Course Treatment Interval in Breast Cancers
Time from diagnosis to initiation of definite treatment plan (Surgery or neoadjuvant chemo) among Breast cancer patient with clinical stage 0-III diagnosed in the year 2017.
Susan Glorioso RN BSN, Jill Rhoad RN, S.Madhusudhana MD
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and a leading cause of death among female patients with cancer following lung cancer. Concerns about delay in the initiation of treatment has been present for over a century exemplified by Dr. Halstead's quotation "we no longer need the proof…(that) the slightest delay is dangerous…in the early stage of breast cancer" in 1907.
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has published quality control measure for early breast cancer requiring Adjuvant chemotherapy to be started by 120 days after diagnosis and radiation to be started by 365 days since diagnosis.
Surgery is often the first part of definitive treatment in early breast cancer. There are no clearcut guidelines for the timing of surgery since diagnosis. Various retrospective large populationbased studies have shown that slight delays as needed for reasons such as more imaging and multidisciplinary consultations will not adversely affect outcomes; alleviating much of anxiety surrounding the initial diagnosis. However, larger delays have shown to increase disease specific mortality and decrease survival. One large SEER- Medicare database and National Cancer database study showed every 30-day delay in surgery increased overall mortality, and every 60-day delay in surgery decreased the Disease Specific survival for breast cancer. Although there is controversy regarding early initiation of treatment based on conflicting reports, significant delay does affect key factors like mortality.
Based on the data available, it is becoming a standard to limit the delay in time to surgery to <90 days, with emphasis on earlier treatment.
As part of the quality improvement study at TMC, we evaluated the time from tissue-based diagnosis to the initiation of definitive treatment. Since neoadjuvant treatment is being adopted more often, we included timing of neoadjuvant treatment in addition to timing of surgery, whichever came first, for the analysis.
All the patients with early stage (stage 0-III) breast cancer diagnosed in the year 2017 were included. Patients were identified via tumor registry. Data was collected in reference to the point of interest.
Results:
Total no of patients evaluated: 66
Excluded 15 (6 went to different facility, 5 refused treatment, 2 lost to follow up, and 2 had
metastatic disease)
Total patients evaluated: 51
Median age: 59 years (range, 21-85 years)
There were 3 patients who received neoadjuvant chemo (6%) as the initial part of their definitive plan. 2 out of 3 were Triple Negative and one of them enrolled in clinical trial. The 3rd one was ER/PR positive, Her 2 negative.
All patients, including the ones who got neoadjuvant chemotherapy, underwent surgery (n=51).
Timing of initiation of definitive treatment:
≤30 days: 11 patients.
31-60 d: 28
61-90 d: 7
91-120d: 3
121-180d: 1
>180d: 1
Majority of patients started treatment in the 31-60 day period: 29 (54%). 5 (10%) of the patients had their treatment delayed beyond the recommended 90-day interval.
Conclusion:
1. Most of the newly diagnosed breast cancer patients at TMC get their treatment started within the recommended 90-day period from diagnosis. This should also allow the patients to get started with chemotherapy if required within 120 days of diagnosis as recommend by the ASCO guidelines.
Rec-
2. Efforts need to be made to improve upon these results – with the goal to follow up on all the patients and make sure they get their definitive treatment in the first 60 days itself.
1. Breast cancer Navigator to help keep track of patients so that no one is lost to follow up.
2. Making sure that the patients referred to breast biopsy have breast clinic f/w appoint to follow up on the results.

Building from the Bottom
MARTIN WIND brings bassists—and musical worlds—together
Those who are only familiar with bassist Martin Wind’s jazz credentials—both as a leader and as a first-call sideman for Bill Mays, Dena DeRose, Ken Peplowski, Ann Hampton Callaway, and numerous other A-listers—may be surprised to hear him showcase Baroque bona fides on the bookends of his latest release: two different performances of J.S. Bach’s “Air.” But a broad embrace of classical music is of a piece with his background. A onetime student of Wolfgang Güttler, former bassist with the Berlin Philharmonic, Wind played under legends like Gidon Kremer and Mstislav Rostropovich; built his sterling technique by approaching orchestral opportunities and jazz work with equal measures of enthusiasm; and later used his pen to marry both passions, bowing to Bill Evans with a quartet and the Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana on 2014’s Turn Out the Stars and constructing his own Legacy, a concerto for double bass and orchestra.
Now Air, arriving on the heels of 2021’s quartet date My Astorian Queen, underscores that history with greater depth than ever. It also sees Wind merging musical worlds while fronting a very different type of quartet: an all-bass foursome featuring Jordan Frazier, Gregg August, and Sam Suggs. The idea for the group sprang from his work at Long Island’s Hofstra University. “I’m the teacher for the classical basses, jazz players, and electric bass players,” Wind explains. “And rather than only see them individually, I wanted to create a forum, or bass scene, where I could see all of my students together and where they could learn from each other.” Writing music to aid in that endeavor, Wind would go on to fine-tune and present his arrangements with Talking Hands—an all-star bass outfit placing him alongside John Clayton, Rufus Reid, and Lynn Seaton. Then, when COVID-19 quieted the scene, he realized it was time to take a step in another direction. “I thought, ‘Let me try to get these three guys here in New York who have more of an arco or classical background than John, Lynn, and Rufus, and see if I can document some of those arrangements.’”
The results of that gathering—nine tracks that showcase a richly resonant blend—speak to Wind’s catholic tastes and highly developed skills as a performer, composer, and arranger. On both versions of “Air,” the first by the quartet and the second being one of a handful of numbers with multi-instrumentalist Gary Versace and drummer Matt Wilson in the mix, he evinces supreme taste as an accompanist (version one) and a soloist (version two). Elsewhere, Wind and company display a fondness for surprise. On “(Give me some) G-String,” as the two-drummer team of Wilson and Lenny White drive the train, strings shift from far-out fiddle territory to a bluesy breakdown and back. With a Beatles medley, allowing Wind to indulge in melody painting, one fab four salutes another. Eschewing electric bass for “Birdland,” and bringing White back for the hit, the collective personnel offer a different slant on Weather Report. And while developing an eight-bar progression into a stunning eight-minute take on Charlie Haden’s “Silence,” Wind demonstrates the true powers of progress.
A wonderfully nuanced trip through Pat Metheny’s “Tell Her You Saw Me” and a pair of second-act originals—shapeshifter “I’d Rather Eat” and the alluring “Iceland Romance”—make up the balance of the program and further illustrate the beauty and versatility at play within the rightly named New York Bass Quartet. “They’re all really great arco players, but they also have these wide musical backgrounds,” Wind notes. “I thought they would form an A-team [with me] and I believe it turned out that way. I’m extremely happy with the results.”

Business Interruption Insurance – Can I make a COVID-19 claim?
What's happening?
Given the uncertainties surrounding business interruption insurance policies in the context of COVID-19, the Insurance Council of Australia has sought clarity from the courts on the interpretation of business interruption insurance policy wordings. Clear guidance from the courts will help ensure greater certainty and consistency for insurers and policyholders in terms of what circumstances may trigger a claim to be paid under a business interruption insurance policy due to COVID-19.
Two business interruption test cases have been heard in the courts to assist with determining various aspects of business interruption insurance cover.
Status of test cases
The First Business Interruption Test Case related to whether insurers could rely on references to the now repealed Quarantine Act 1908 (Cth) in order to exclude coverage. In June 2021, the High Court upheld the decision of the NSW Court of Appeal which determined that insurers could not rely on references to the Quarantine Act to deny liability in business interruption insurance policies.
The Second Business Interruption Test Case considered the interpretation of policy wordings regarding disease definitions, COVID-19 outbreak proximity, the impact of government orders, and various other construction issues.
On 8 October 2021, the Federal Court of Australia handed down its decision on the Second Business Interruption Test Case. In nine out of the ten test cases, insurers were not liable to indemnify policyholders for claims under respective business interruption insurance policies as the relevant clauses were not triggered. In one test case, the court stated that the infectious disease insuring clause applied but was not yet in a position to find that the policyholder had proved that it was entitled to any indemnity.
Subsequently, policyholders appealed to the Full Court of the Federal Court on five of the test case matters. On 21 February 2022, the Full Court delivered its decision, which substantially upheld the trial judge's findings. The Full Court overturned the trial judge's conclusion regarding Government support payments (e.g. JobKeeper), having regard to the wording of the policies and the support payments considered in the test case, and the construction of section 57 of the Insurance Contracts Act which relates to the calculation of interest.
Two of the policyholders and one of the insurers in the Second Business Interruption Test filed applications for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia on parts of the judgment of the Full Court. On 14 October 2022 the High Court declined the applications for special leave to appeal. That means that the decision of the Full Court stands and the test case process has concluded.
What does this mean for me?
Proclaim and its clients are committed to applying the reasoning of the final judgment in the test cases in their assessment of claims.
As a result, Proclaim will now work with its clients to communicate its position on all relevant claims currently before it.
What should I do?
If you believe that you may have a claim under your business interruption insurance policy, you may still lodge a claim. You can also speak with your insurance broker about your circumstances.
Each claim will be reviewed according to the terms of your business interruption insurance policy, the decisions of the Full Court and the Federal Court and the information you provide in support of your claim and evidence of the value of your loss.
To assist with efficiently assessing your COVID-19 related claim, please provide the following information and materials when submitting your claim:
a) details about any localised COVID-19 cases at your premises or within the immediate vicinity;
b) details about whether your business was ordered to close or alter its operations by a government authority and what that order was, or whether your business was voluntarily closed;
c) details of whether your business was able to operate, including at a reduced capacity, during COVID-19 lockdowns; and
d) financial losses, including whether any Government support payments were received (e.g. COVID-19 support grants but not including JobKeeper payments) or whether rental or franchise fee relief was provided, including the terms on which that relief was granted.
Depending on the circumstances of your COVID-19 related claim, Proclaim may request further information and documents from you prior to finalising the assessment of your claim.
Further information
For more information regarding the business interruption test cases, please contact your broker or read the Insurance Council of Australia's BI Frequently Asked Questions at https://insurancecouncil.com.au/issues-in-focus/bi-test-cases/.

OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER & AUDITOR GENERAL OF INDIA
NEW DELHI
12 th May, 2015
CAG Audit Report on Accounts of Union Government Presented
The CAG's Financial Audit Report No.1 of 2015 containing the comments of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India on the Union Government Accounts for the year 2013-14 was presented in the Parliament today. It also analyses the finances of the Union Government for the year 2013-14 and broadly includes Comments on Finance Accounts and Comments on Appropriation Accounts.
The highlights of this Report are as follows:
The financial position of the Union Government in 2013-14 was characterised by an increase of 14 per cent in gross revenue receipts primarily on account of a substantial increase in both tax revenue receipts (10 per cent) and non-tax revenue receipts (28 per cent) over previous year.
(Para 1.2, 1.2.3 and 1.2.4)
Capital expenditure was 1.76 per cent of GDP, well below the 3.9 per cent level set out for the year in the fiscal consolidation path set out by the Thirteenth Finance Commission. Of the total capital expenditure, 40 per cent was accounted for by Defence Services.
(Para 1.1.2 and 1.3.3)
Analysis of plan expenditure of civil ministries revealed that a large portion (about 75 per cent) of the total plan expenditure was in the form of grants-in-aid payment. In five of the 10 Ministries/ Departments incurring the largest plan expenditure, over 98 per cent was in the form of disbursement as grants-in-aid.
(Para 1.3.5 and 1.3.7)
Central Board of Excise and Customs incurred irregular expenditures of Rs. 29.69 crore out of an expenditure of Rs. 66.43 crore from Customs & Central Excise Welfare Fund and Special Equipment Fund against the purpose/objectives for which these funds were created. The continuance of the Customs & Central Excise Welfare Fund was not necessary as the welfare activities can be financed through the normal budgetary process of the department.
(Para 2.2.9)
Article 114(3) of the Constitution of India provides that no money shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund of India except under appropriation made by law. An expenditure on interest on refunds amounting to Rs. 6,598 crore was incurred by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), without the authorisation of the Parliament during the year 2013-14. A total expenditure of Rs. 42,903 crore on interest payments had been incurred over the last six years without obtaining approval of the Parliament through necessary appropriations.
(Para 4.1)
Augmentation of provision by way of re-appropriation to 'grants-in-aid' to anybody or authority from the Consolidated Fund of India can only be made with the prior approval of the Parliament. In 19 cases, Rs. 284.07 crore was incurred by various Ministries/Departments during 2013-14 by augmenting provision under object heads '31 Grants-in-aid-General', '35Grants for creation of Capital Assets' and '36 Grants-in-aid Salaries' without the prior approval of the Parliament. (Para 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and 4.4.3)
Detailed analysis of expenditure on grants-in-aid released by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment and the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises revealed deficient control mechanisms such as non-maintenance of data of capital assets created by the grantees out of government grants, non-maintenance of grants-in-aid register, non-disclosure of required information in utilisation certificates, non submission of performance-cum-achievement report and annual audited statements, etc. Thus audit could not derive assurance with regard to the quality of the expenditure incurred. (Para 5.5)
Against the total collection of Rs. 1,30,599 crore as primary education cess in the CFI, only Rs. 1,19,197 crore was transferred to the Prarambhik Shiksha Kosh in Public Account for meeting expenditure on identified schemes during 2004-05 to 2013-14, resulting in a short transfer of Rs. 11,402 crore in the Prarambhik Shiksha Kosh.
(Para 2.2.4)
Research and Development Cess aggregating Rs. 4,876.71 crore was collected during the period 1996-97 to 2013-14 out of which only Rs. 542.41 crore (11.12 per cent) was utilized towards the objectives of levying the said cess.
(Para 2.2.2)
There was a continuous adverse balance in the Beedi Workers Welfare Fund during the period 2008-09 to 2013-14, which steadily increased from (-) Rs. 53.51 crore in 2008-09 to (-) Rs. 194.16 crore in 2013-14. This occurred because the expenditure from this Fund was far in excess of the receipts.
(Para 2.2.3)
During 2013-14, there were excess disbursements of Rs. 3,493.06 crore over the authorisation from Consolidated Fund of India. The excess disbursement in Civil Ministries/Departments was Rs. 39.59 crore, in Ministry of Railways Rs. 2,719.15 crore and in Defence Services Rs. 733.72 crore in contravention of the provisions under Article 114(3) of the Constitution of India, which requires regularisation under Article 115 (1) (b) of the Constitution.
(Para 3.4)
Savings of more than Rs. 100 crore (aggregating to Rs. 7,45,510 crore) had occurred in 102 cases of 78 grants (including Civil, Posts, Railways and Defence Services), indicating deficient budgeting as well as shortfall in performance. (Para 3.7 & Annexure 3.5)
In regard to the cases of New Service /New Instrument of Service on augmentation under the object heads '52-Machinery and Equipment' and '53-Major Works' all cases relating to augmentation of funds above Rs. 2.5 crore or above 10 per cent of the appropriation already voted, whichever is less, would require prior approval of the Parliament, irrespective of the fact that the augmentation is for new works or for the existing works. In 60 cases across 11 grants, excess expenditure of Rs. 4,863.57 crore was incurred by the Ministries/Departments during 2013-14 by augmenting the provision under these object heads without obtaining prior approval of the Parliament.
(Para 4.4.5)
As per Article 112(3)(f) of the Constitution of India any sums required to satisfy any judgment, decree or award of any court or arbitral tribunal shall be charged upon the Consolidated Fund of India. In two cases across two grants, expenditure of Rs. 124.26 crore of the nature of charged was incorrectly classified and booked as voted expenditure in violation of the Constitutional directives.
(Para 4.5)
Various departments/ministries incorrectly classified revenue expenditure as capital expenditure and vice versa. The misclassifications resulted in an overstatement of capital expenditure by Rs. 3,174.40 crore and understatement of capital expenditure by Rs. 1,504.69 crore. The overall impact on Government expenditure was an overstatement of capital expenditure of Rs. 1,669.71 crore. Correspondingly revenue deficit was understated by an equivalent amount of Rs. 1,669.71 crore during the financial year 2013-14.
(Para 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.6.3 and 4.6.4)
For the year 2013-14, the Union Government transferred Central Plan assistance of Rs. 1,12,708 crore directly to State/district level autonomous bodies and authorities, societies, non-governmental organisations, etc., for implementation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes outside the State Government Budget. The aggregate amount of unspent balances in the accounts of bodies/authorities maintained outside Government accounts was unascertainable.
(Para 5.3.1)

INCOSE UK Chapter Rail Interest Group
First Rail Systems Engineering Workshop
Tuesday 7th July 2009
London Underground, 55 Broadway, London
Preliminary Announcement
This is an exciting time for systems engineering in rail as a wave of realisation spreads across the industry that effective systems engineering is just as essential to delivering the railway that society demands as the traditional engineering disciplines are. The RIG is proud to support the rail industry in learning how best to apply systems engineering by providing a forum for the exchange of experience and good practice.
After a successful series of evening presentations, the RIG is now organising a day-long workshop to explore in more detail three difficult questions that rail organisations face in increasing their take-up of systems engineering:
* How should we apply systems engineering principles in the rail environment?
* How do we find enough rail systems people?
* How do we write systems engineering into contracts?
The workshop will adopt the format used with such success to date – short presentations by practitioners active in the field describing real, current activities with balanced reflections on their effectiveness. The day-long duration will allow participants to listen to several perspectives on each question and then discuss whether an answer is emerging.
London Underground have kindly agreed to host the event at their facilities in central London and the RIG is grateful to them for their support. Presenters at the event will include representatives from London Underground, the Department for Transport, Transport for London, Network Rail and Rolls Royce.
We hope that you will reserve the date in your diary. Bookings may be made online at www.incoseonline.org.uk from early May.
If you wish to be informed when bookings open or have any questions, please contact the RIG Chair, Bruce Elliott, at [email protected] or on +44 (0)7970 694043.
The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1990 to develop and disseminate the interdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems. Today, there are over six thousand members who work together to advance their technical knowledge, exchange ideas with colleagues, and collaborate to advance systems engineering.
The INCOSE UK Rail Interest Group has been formed:
* To promote, improve and share the practice of Systems Engineering within the rail industry;
* To provide a forum for those interested in Systems Engineering in rail to network in a less formal environment, to exchange good practice and to provide mutual support in an area which can require some sustained perseverance;
* To foster connections with other professional bodies within rail and thereby promote cross fertilisation of knowledge and experience across sectors and community disciplines; and
* To promote awareness of INCOSE UK and encourage membership within the rail industry.

Purpose
The purpose of this session is to explain the nature and scope of the South African Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS) and to locate it in the broader South African Higher Education context.
What is HEMIS?
- Higher Education Management Information System (HEMIS)
- A unit record statistical reporting system for Higher Education
- Include a student component (6 files), a staff component (2 files) and a space component (3 files), Post-doctoral & Research fellows
- Research information
- Financial information
The Private Higher Education equivalent is the Higher Education Quality Committee Information System (HEQCIS)
HEMIS, HEQCIS and the TVET and Adult education equivalents are subsystems for HETMIS and all provide inputs to the National Learner Records Database (NLRD).
Why is HEMIS necessary?
- Provide information for systemic planning purposes
- Provide information used in the funding of institutions
- Provide information that can be used for quality purposes
- Comparison between institutions
- Provide information for research purposes
Linkage between National Policies, PQM and HEMIS
- Institutional academic programme structures (PQM) are:
- approved by the Minister of Higher Education and Training (MHET)
- accredited by the Council for Higher Education (CHE) and
- registered by South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA)
- Should be consistent with:
- National academic policies approved by the Minister of Higher Education and Training (MHET)
- The National Plan for Higher Education (NPHE)
- HEMIS submissions should be consistent with the approved PQM and HEMIS directives
Driving Force
National Academic Policies approved by Minister of Higher Education and Training (MHET)
Approved Institutional Academic Structure (PQM)
HEMIS submission
SOUTHERN AFRICAN ASSOCIATION FOR INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH
Approved PQM
- The **approved PQM** represents the qualifications that are approved for funding purposes
- It includes an official name and an internal name/names for these qualifications
- Summarised version (qualification type & CESM) referred to as **high-level PQM**
- Often “PQM” is also used for programmes and the courses that make these up, especially internally within institutions
Naming of Qualifications
• The naming of qualifications must be in line with the appropriate national academic policy (e.g., Higher Education Qualification Sub-Framework – HEQSF)
• The approved name as on the PQM must be used for HEMIS purposes
• Institutions may use an internal name and provision are made to capture the internal name on HEMIS as well
Roles of DHET, CHE & SAQA
• The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) approve qualifications in principle (PQM clearance)
• The Council for Higher Education (CHE) accredits the qualification and perform a quality assurance role
• The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) registers the qualification on the National Qualification Sub-Framework (NQSF)
Enrolment Planning
- Institutions submit 3-year rolling plans with their estimated enrolments to the DHET
- DHET and each institution then negotiate an approved enrolment plan that must be endorsed by the institution’s Council
- These enrolment plans are then used to play a role in the funding for the institution
Subsidy
- Subsidy is based on the relative share of the institution’s planned enrolments as portion of the systemic planned enrolments
- Block grants made up of the following:
- Teaching input grants
- Teaching output grants
- Research output grants
- Institutional factor grants
- Earmarked funding, e.g. NSFAS
- May change as a result of Funding review recommendations and Fee review
Teaching Input grants
- Derived from relative share of planned enrolments
- 4 X 4 funding grid existing of 4 funding groups and 4 funding levels
- Funding groups derived from 20 CESM categories
- Funding levels derived from course levels/HEQSF levels
- Mode of tuition (Contact, Mixed, Distance)

- Based on Enrolled Funded Credits (EFC) [also known as Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) enrolments]
- Weighted by funding levels
- Undergraduate & equivalent (X1)
- Honours & equivalent (X2)
- Master’s (X3)
- Doctoral enrolments (x4)
to arrive at weighted FTE enrolments (WFTEs)
- Weighted by funding groups and Mode of tuition (Contact or Distance) for Teaching Input Units
- Teaching Input Units X Unit price = Teaching Input Grant
Current Weighting factors for Teaching Inputs
| Funding Group | Undergraduate | Honours | Masters | Doctoral |
|---------------|--------------|---------|---------|----------|
| | X1 | X2 | X3 | X4 |
| | C | D | C | D | C | D | C | D |
| 1 | 1,00 | 0,50 | 2,00 | 1,00 | 3,00 | 3,00 | 4,00 | 4,00 |
| 2 | 1,50 | 0,75 | 3,00 | 1,50 | 4,50 | 4,50 | 6,00 | 6,00 |
| 3 | 2,50 | 1,25 | 5,00 | 2,50 | 7,50 | 7,50 | 10,00 | 10,00 |
| 4 | 3,50 | 1,75 | 7,00 | 3,50 | 10,50 | 10,50 | 14,00 | 14,00 |
Teaching Output grants
• Based on teaching outputs, derived from non-research graduates in year N-2
• Normative total according to national benchmarks
• Weighted by qualification type to arrive at Teaching Output Units
• Teaching Output Units X Unit price = Teaching Output Grant
• Teaching Development Grant used to be funded from the difference between institution’s actual and normative totals for graduates but now earmarked funding
Research Output grants
• Based on research outputs, derived from research graduates in year N-2 plus research publication units weighted publication units (X1), research masters graduates (X1) and doctoral graduates (X3)
• Research Output Units X Unit price = Research Output Grant
University Development grants
• Earmarked grant
• Replace the former developments grants
– Teaching Development
– Research Development
Quality assurance
• Quality assurance falls under the auspices of the CHE’s Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC)
• Quality Enhancement Project
• HEMIS plays a significant role to benchmark between institutions
Volumes of learning and credits
- The number of credits is based on the notional study hours required for achieving the learning outcomes specified for the qualification.
- The credit-rating system rates 10 notional study hours as equivalent to one credit.
- Include, among others, contact time, self-study, WIL, assignments, projects and examinations.
- Certificate, Diploma, Bachelor’s Degree and Bachelor (Honours) Degree qualification types assume a 30-week full-time academic year, while Master’s Degree and Doctoral qualification types assume a 45-week full-time academic year.
- An average full-time equivalent student is expected to study for a 40-hour week, thus requiring a minimum credit-load of 120 credits per academic year for Certificates, Diplomas and Bachelor’s Degrees and 180 credits per academic year for Master’s Degrees and Doctorates.
- Credit ratings specified on the framework are expressed as minima – credit loads above the minimum may be required but should not be unrealistic in terms of the relationship of credits to actual study time.
Funding credits
The properties of a qualification determine the total number of units of state subsidy (funding credits) approved by the Minister of Higher Education and Training for that qualification:
- For the HEQSF this is based on the NQF credits.
Qualification weight/ Funding credit
- For subsidy-purposes, all qualifications are given a weight relative to a first bachelor’s degree
- Student/lecturing staff ratio
- For subsidy-purposes, different student/lecturing staff ratios have been introduced for the different subject matter areas (funding groups)
Course Credit/ Funding Credit
- Each distinct instructional offering must be allocated a weight (course credit) which is used to calculate the funding credit
- E.g. subject with papers Business Management III may consist of five topics or papers
- Interchangeable offerings (options) should carry the same credit or weight
- Calculated for qualification course combination
Calculation of the Course Credits for Teaching
The course credits can then be easily calculated using the relative proportion of NQF credits for the course to the total NQF credits for the qualification.
\[
\frac{\text{Credits for course}}{\text{Total credits for qualification}}
\]
For HEQF-qualifications, the use of NQF-credits are also recommended. For legacy qualifications, this is not possible and other methods were used.
Calculation of the Funding Credits for Teaching
The funding credits for teaching offerings can be calculated using the relative proportion of the NQF credits of the course to the total NQF credits of the qualification.
\[
\frac{\text{Credits for course}}{\text{Total credits for qualification}} \times \text{Funding credits for qualification}
\]
Experiential learning is not funded and although it contributes to the total NQF credits, the funded credits for this is 0.
Calculation of the Course Credit for Teaching Example
For a Bachelors degree with 360 credits (3 funding credits) with no experiential learning and a fixed curriculum of 30 12-credit modules
Each module $12 / 360 \times 3 = 0,100$ funding credits
Calculation of the Funding Credits for Research Offerings
- In most cases, the total funded credits for master’s degrees are 1,000 and for doctoral degrees are 2,000. Due to the fact that the research degrees are normally spread over more than one year, a special mechanism had to be devised.
- The total funded credit value are divided by the average time that students took to complete the qualification over the last three years.
- For practical reasons, qualifications are clustered together.
Calculation of the Course Credit for Research Offerings
Number of graduates for the degree or cluster
Number of years the graduates were enrolled
= Average time for completion
Credit value = Total credit value X Average time for completion
Where Total credit value would typically be 1,000 for research masters and 2,000 for doctoral degrees
Census dates
Example of census date calculation
Semester 1
Start of class 1 February 2017, end of class 31 May 2017
Count number of days excluding weekends, public holidays
| Month | Total days | Week days | Weekend days | Public holidays |
|-------|------------|-----------|--------------|-----------------|
| Feb | 28 | 20 | 8 | 0 |
| Mar | 31 | 22 | 8 | 1 |
| Apr | 30 | 17 | 10 | 3 |
| May | 31 | 22 | 8 | 1 |
| Total | | **81** | | |
The middle point $81/2 = 41$
Therefore, census date for semester 1 courses is 30 March 2017
Census dates for semester 2 and year courses or postgraduate courses can be calculated using the same methodology.
Who and what to include
Who to include?
- A student
- Students who are registered before or on census date
- Students who have not cancelled a course before or on census date
- Students who are effectively registered for an approved qualification
- Students who are effectively registered for a course
- Student who are deemed to have been academically active
Effective registration for a qualification
The student must meet all of the following criteria:
- Satisfies the statutory entry requirements for admission to a formally approved qualification offered by the institution
- Officially enrolled for the qualification between 1 January and 31 December of collection year
- Effectively registered (conditions determined by institution) for at least one course which is part of the curriculum of the qualification
Applying the Graduates test to Course credits
- Students often do not follow the fixed curriculum and the original credit values would then have to be adjusted. This needs to be confirmed each year based on the course credits of the students that graduated in the particular degree.
- The course credits could be adjusted per year for each qualification for practical reasons.
- An adjustment factor is then calculated that will satisfy the Graduates test (originally 2% test, later 0% test) and multiplied with the original course credits to obtain an adjusted course credit that would satisfy the Graduates Test.
Implications for funding
- The PQM is based on approved qualifications.
- Funding groups are based on the CESM-categories and the funding levels are based on the course levels.
- The Teaching input funding grid of funding groups and funding levels is determined by the CESM and course level of courses.
- Output subsidy is based on qualifications and their relative weights.
- Qualifications and courses play a pivotal role in funding.

Proposed Additional Tax Reliefs for Irish Start-Ups
The Irish Government has committed in its "Programme for Partnership Government" to introduce a number of tax reforms for the purposes of increasing Ireland's competitiveness and maintaining a strong, stable and growing economy. In particular, it intends to introduce additional tax reliefs for start-ups with effect from January 2017. These are expected to further support Ireland's appeal as a location to launch and invest in start-ups.
Entrepreneurs CGT Relief
It is proposed that the current "entrepreneurs CGT relief" which applies a reduced rate of Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") of 20% (the standard rate of Irish CGT is 33%) on the disposal by an individual of his/her business assets, up to the lifetime limit of €1 million, be reduced further to 10% on relevant disposals. It is hoped that the enhanced relief will bring the relief available in Ireland further in line with the United Kingdom, where a 10% CGT rate applies to entrepreneurs on gains on disposals of a business up to a lifetime limit of £10 million.
The current Irish entrepreneurs CGT relief was announced in Budget 2016 and became effective from 1 January 2016. To qualify for the relief, the business assets (which include shares in a corporate entity) must have been owned by the individual for a continuous period of at least three years in the five years immediately prior to the date of the disposal.
In order to come within the relief, an individual must dispose of "chargeable business assets". For this purpose, a "chargeable business asset" means an asset, including goodwill, that is:
* a full or partial interest in an asset used for the purposes of a qualifying business carried on by an individual; or
* a holding of 5% or more of the ordinary shares in a company carrying on a
qualifying business or a qualifying holding company, provided that the individual is a qualifying person in respect of the company or a group company.
A "qualifying business" is widely defined and generally includes any business other than the holding of securities or other assets as investments, the holding of development land or the development or letting of land.
If an individual is disposing of shares, the individual must also be a "qualifying person" in order to avail of the relief. A "qualifying person" in relation to a company is someone who is or has been a director or employee of the company or a group company who spent 50% or more of his/her working time in the service of that company or group in a managerial or technical capacity for a continuous period of three out of the five years immediately before the disposal of the relevant shares. If the individual acquired the shares as a result of a reconstruction or amalgamation, his/her period of share ownership of the old and new shares and the working time spent with the current and previous company or group will be taken into account in each of the three-year tests where certain conditions are met.
The relief also applies to the disposal of shares in a holding company where each company in the group is a 51% subsidiary and each 51% subsidiary wholly or mainly carries on a qualifying business.
Proposed Additional Tax Reliefs for Irish Start-Ups (continued)
This document is for general guidance only and should not be regarded as a substitute for professional advice. Such advice should always be taken before acting on any of the matters discussed.
Earned Income Tax Credit
It is anticipated that the earned income tax credit for the self-employed which was introduced in January 2016, will also increase from €550 to €1650 in 2017. This earned income tax credit is available to taxpayers earning self-employed trading or professional income and to business owners/ managers who are ineligible for a PAYE credit on their salary income, and is aimed at active rather than passive income.
Other Tax Reforms
The Programme for Partnership Government also indicates that the Irish Government will explore mechanisms through which SMEs can reward key employees with share options in a tax-efficient manner. It is also proposed that a PRSI scheme for the self-employed will be introduced. In addition, the Irish Government has committed working towards raising the Band A capital acquisitions tax threshold (which applies to gifts/inheritances from parents to their children) to €500,000.
Irish start-up companies which have commenced trading, or which are considering commencing to trade in 2016 may wish to consider whether they may be in a position to avail of the proposed new tax reliefs.

"Look Up and Beyond" is a new group formed by Diversity+ to help better understand the barriers preventing women from reaching leadership positions and to find solutions to retain and promote more female talent in the legal sector and beyond.
Foreword by Naeema
Naeema Yaqoob Sajid
Founder and Director of Diversity+
"Look Up and Beyond" is a message and reminder to myself. Throughout my career, perhaps my entire adult life, it's something I've failed to do. I've looked ahead. I've looked across. I've looked down. I've looked at myself, my family, my team, my clients, and my workplace. What I haven't done is looked up and beyond. As such, I've protected and served the best interests of those around me. That was my role. I did it well. Or so I thought…
But in doing so, my vision remained narrow and self-serving or serving to those around me. What I failed to do was to look at the bigger picture. What talent was coming behind me and what I should be doing to help, protect and nurture that talent.
With over 50% of those entering the legal profession in Scotland (indeed the UK) being women for at least the last 2 decades, and more than three times as many women as men applying to study law in Scotland, we need to be thinking more closely about our future talent. How can we better embrace it and what changes we need to make to ensure this talent is rewarded and not lost. It's an industry wide problem, needing industry wide solutions. That's why I set up "Look Up and Beyond".
What do I bring that others in the profession don't? I bring a different prospective. A different set of skills. A different voice and a different image. All of which can contribute to a different outcome.
Look at the profession today. Despite women being the majority entering the profession for many years now, this is not translating to leadership roles. And further still, very few women who look like me, women of colour.
I remember when I helped set up SEMLA, that reality was pointed out to me. I brushed it aside, thinking 'we've just not looked hard enough. Surely in the 20 years I've been in the profession, there have been others like me?' But the reality is that whilst we have had the first, we have had very few thereafter making it to the top. Why it that?
That's a legacy, together with my colleagues, friends and allies, I'd like to change. But that change won't happen without intervention, without action and without your support.
What can you do? Support our work. Share you experience, skills and resources to understand better why more women aren't in leadership roles. Why more women than ever before are considering leaving the profession? Why more are turning down partnership roles? Why more are choosing in-house roles? Why more are going it alone? And what all this means to the future of the profession and the retention of female talent.
Fund our project, to allow us to do more in-depth research and set up initiatives to better understand the barriers and find fitting solutions. We don't pretend we know it all. We don't pretend we have all the answers. But we're willing to find out and share our knowledge, industry wide.
If you're ready to 'Look Up and Beyond' join us in our journey for a better, equitable future. One that is ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Our Stories
Jacqueline Moore Consultant, Thorntons Law LLP
Twenty-five years ago, I joined the Scottish legal profession as a trainee at Balfour and Manson in Edinburgh. If someone had told me back then that the profession would need an organisation like 'Look up and Beyond' twenty-five years later, I probably would not have believed them. After all, women, both then and now, make up the majority of graduates at Law Schools, annual trainee intakes and LLP memberships in many law firms.
But there is no getting away from the fact that even now in 2023, women are still underrepresented in senior decision-making positions in most law firms, and more likely to leave the profession prematurely.
I really hope that the launch of LUAB will lead to some open and frank conversations around the issues, and that everyone can come together to identify what solutions can be found to make life better for everyone working in the profession and the people that matter in their lives, whether that is partners, children, or others they have caring responsibilities for.
My experience, which I know is not uncommon, is that many of the challenges that women face in the work/life juggle come down to life's timings. Women often hit their professional stride and assume more professional responsibility at exactly the point in life when their personal time bank is at its absolute lowest, whether that's due to caring responsibilities towards children, other family members or a combination of both.
When our teenage son went through his "Fortnite" phase, a friend bought him a t-shirt which read: "Eat, Sleep, Game, Repeat". For many women who combine the responsibility of a senior role at work alongside caring responsibilities at home, life may feel like it's on "Repeat" cycle, but, without any of the "Game" part to give balance. One small, unexpected disruption to work plans often means that the "Game" time part of the day is the first thing a woman drops. This isn't sustainable over the long term and not how it needs to be for the next generation.
The challenge may be one of empowering women, but there is no doubt that men can be, and indeed ought to be, part of the solution. It pleases me to see a change in the trend of how parental responsibilities are shared, with more dads now choosing to work part-time, which brings benefits to families, employers and wider society.
The next generation of young lawyers I see coming through are noticeably passionate about being part of organisations that align with their values and organisations. The issues of retaining female talent and making things better for the next generation are subjects that I hope Look Up and Beyond will really get people talking about and finding solutions to.

Lesley Allan Partner, Kennedys Scotland LLP
I entered the legal profession as a trainee in 1993. It was a time when there was no computer on my desk, email had not become mainstream, and no-one carried a mobile phone. Files were made of paper, and bound copies of SLT were available in a communal library, or unavailable in a colleague's desk drawer. In some rooms in the building, people were perfectly legally smoking at their desks as they worked. The "new" Ordinary Cause rules were just arriving, and pacing Parliament Hall with Counsel was a regular Tuesday morning pastime.
The world of work has changed radically over the last thirty years, and at some points has changed very quickly. Many of those changes have been for the better for all of us. Others are still a work in progress – hybrid working and relentless connectivity continue to bring their challenges.
One change has been clear and consistent – the increasing number of women in the Scottish legal profession. In 1988, when I began to study law, of the 8,023 solicitors in Scotland, 26% were female. By 2018, of the 11,699 Scottish solicitors, 53% were female. Today, that stands at around 57% - and yet we are still waiting to see the same proportions apply at senior or promoted levels. These statistics also do not tell us how many women started on a legal career path and stepped off, or why.
So of all of the changes which have taken place in the profession, which of those changes have been of most benefit to the women who entered the profession when I did? For those of us who stayed, who progressed, and who are now in senior roles, what (and who) helped us to do that? As a profession, what changes can we make for the future, which will most benefit the women embarking on legal careers, to develop and retain all of that talent? What can those in the early stages of their careers tell us about how they see the path ahead?
I entered the profession without a clear plan of what this career path might look like – there were no lawyers in my family, I had no contacts in the profession, and I was very much learning the rules of the game as I played. However, looking at the steps and turns in my particular path in hindsight, I can see where things might have been quite different, and I know that I am not alone in that.
If we are going to adequately understand the clients and the society we serve, we need our profession to reflect that society - at all levels. If we are going to adequately plan for succession in a profession where most of those entering are female, we need to understand what those entrants need from the systems they will work within, and implement change to achieve that. If we are going to exceed Mansfield Rule requirements, and achieve equal representation of both genders around partnership tables, we need to identify what stands in the way of female leadership and tackle it.
Playing a role in all of that is what looking up and beyond means to me. It is an opportunity to ask questions, to learn from lived experiences, to share ideas and to seek out possible solutions. It is an attempt to learn from the past and think about what is possible in the future. It is aiming to better understand what challenged and benefitted me, to gather information and opinions from others, and to contribute to positive change for female lawyers and leaders – to the benefit of us all.
Naomi Pryde Partner, DLA Piper
"Courage calls to courage everywhere"
It's a famous maxim, from a famous feminist, and its message has never been more relevant. It's been over a hundred years since women in Scotland were first able to practice law and much has been achieved, however there is still much to do and many challenges to achieve diversity in the profession. These challenges demand our courage – for ourselves, for our peers and for those who follow.
My step of courage was to share my story of getting to where I am now, and of my hopes for what's yet to come in the biography I did for Glasgow University's 100 years project a few years ago in a bid to help encourage others who felt that a career in law wasn't necessarily accessible to them consider joining the profession. Diversity in law isn't just about gender, it's about having a profession that represents the society it serves. That includes ensuring that we have representation across different races, religions, sexual orientations, socioeconomic backgrounds and neurodiversity. I'm pleased to work for a firm (DLA Piper) which has very active "people networks" which seeks to support and encourage diversity and inclusion across a range of areas.
I often say that I want to leave the profession in better shape than how I found it. I'm therefore proud of my involvement in the Law Scot foundation, the Mindful Business Charter and the Look Up and Beyond group. The Lawscot foundation, of which I was a founding council member, seeks to improve socio-economic provided financial support to academically talented students from less advantaged backgrounds to help them access the profession. It also provides mentoring and social support. The Mindful Business charter has sought to make the world of law a kinder and more mindful profession to work. 'Look Up and Beyond' is seeking to promote a more diverse Scottish legal profession.
Rachel Williams
Senior Legal Counsel, NatWest Group
I have followed Naeema's journey over the past few years and I am always inspired by her drive and determination to bring about change in the legal profession. When the opportunity came up to join the Look Up and Beyond group, I jumped at the chance and look forward to seeing what we can achieve as a group. Coming from an in-house legal team, I am also hoping I can bring the in-house perspective into discussions.
As a young trainee lawyer, a female partner once said to me that her daughter had asked her to be home that evening to read a book to her. She said to her daughter that she could have Mummy at home in the evenings or she could have her pony. That conversation has always stayed with me and to keep females in the profession, mindsets such as those need to change. Females in the legal profession shouldn't have to give up their career to also be able to care for their families or live their lives.
However, I am also conscious that it is perhaps easy to assume that struggling to find the right balance is why many women leave the profession. Therefore, I am looking forward to finding out as part of our work whether there are other major factors which are being overlooked. As a group, I hope we can inspire change and encourage open, honest and sometimes uncomfortable conversations from the top down to drive the change needed.
Ruth Croman
Managing Partner, McNabs
I have worked in Perth and Perthshire for my whole legal career, although deal with clients all over Scotland and indeed outwith our jurisdiction. I wear two hats within my firm, heading up the family law team and undertaking client work, but also being managing partner of Macnabs LLP. I am married and have two teenage girls. Parenting them is waaaaay more challenging than navigating a financial provision on divorce action!
When I started my traineeship back in 1997, eyebrows were raised about me wearing a trouser suit to the office. That was 26 years ago now, and we are now in a "dress for your day" era that would have seemed unimaginable back in 1997. Our younger team members are horrified at the idea that wearing a skirt or dress at all times was necessary, and it has made me reflect back on the differences there are now from then. And whilst times have undoubtedly moved forward in terms of dress expectations, and the number of female solicitors entering the profession, there still appears to be a glass ceiling. Despite larger number of female practitioners qualifying than males, females are horribly underrepresented in partner numbers, at board level, and in the judiciary.
Looking back, there were few female partner role models visible to me, and those that there were unmarried, and did not have children or caring responsibilities. I think we all have a responsibility to pause and reflect on why that might be, and work together to explore what we can do to help those that are walking in our footsteps.
Our Goals
Bring together those working in the legal sector to support women better in their workplace.
Understand better what factors are limiting women's progression or causing loss of female talent.
Explore why at senior leadership level we are not more gender diverse.
Study the structural and organisational obstacles which impede the retention and advancement of women .
Assist organisations to explore, identify and implement solutions to remove structural and organisational obstacles that impede women's retention and advancement.
How Do We Reach These?
By listening, researching and learning
By raising awareness, sharing ideas, and find solutions
By challenging our own and other's mindsets and behaviours
By removing cultural and structural barriers
What Do We Need From You?
Your Time
Your Knowledge
Your Commitment
Your Resources
How Can Firms and Other Legal Organisations Help Us?
Become annual sponsors to help fund our activities
Collaborate with us and hold LUAB events
Share your expertise and people to help raise awareness
What's in it For You?
As a profession we're good at giving out advice but not necessarily good at taking it. We tell other professions and industries to get their house in order. We warn them of the risks of not planning ahead, of the dangers of not future proofing their businesses. We advise them to forecast, seek advice and find solutions to avoid problems later. But what are we doing about our future and what does it look like?
Here is Our Current Outlook:
Over 50% of those entering the legal profession in Scotland over the last 20 years have been women. Currently women make up approx. 57% of the profession overall
More than three times as many women as men are applying to study law in Scotland.
And Yet...
only 35% of partners in law firms are female (7% for female equity partners a few years ago…)
only 21% of Sheriffs are female
Approximately 25% of Senators of the College of Justice are female
Like it or not, the majority of our talent lies in women, and that's increasing year on year. We either embrace and nuture it or ignore it and loose it.
Finding solutions and acting needs the willingness to work and learn together. It needs more people (not only women) sitting at the table, listening to the stories and finding a more fitting ending. We must 'look up and beyond' if we wish to retain and promote female talent, our future depends on it.

9 February 2015
Mrs Joanne Bradshaw Executive Headteacher Manor Lodge Community Primary School Manor Lane Sheffield South Yorkshire S2 1UF
Dear Mrs Bradshaw
Requires improvement: monitoring inspection visit to Manor Lodge Community Primary School, Sheffield
Following my visit to your school on 6 February 2015, I write on behalf of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills to report on the findings. Thank you for the help you gave me and for the time you made available to discuss the actions you are taking to improve the school since the most recent section 5 inspection.
The visit was the first monitoring inspection since the school was judged to require improvement following the section 5 inspection in October 2014. At its previous section 5, the school was also judged to require improvement. This monitoring inspection was carried out under section 8 of the Education Act 2005.
Senior leaders and governors are taking effective action to tackle the areas requiring improvement identified at the recent section 5 inspection. The school should take further action to:
maintain the focus on improving the quality of teaching to accelerate pupils' progress further.
Evidence
During the visit, meetings were held with you, other senior and middle leaders, members of the governing body and a representative of the local authority to discuss the action taken since the last inspection. The school improvement plan was evaluated. The inspector also evaluated monitoring reports, the tracking of pupils' progress and records of lesson observations.
Context
Since the previous inspection there have been major changes to the governing body with the appointment of a new chair and vice chair. In addition, the school has also appointed a new learning mentor.
Main findings
Pupils' achievement is strengthening as a result of improvements in the quality of teaching and learning. Evidence from the school's own data points to increasing numbers of pupils catching up and making better progress than previously. There is a more purposeful and settled air to the school with pupils excited by many of the topics and activities in lessons. This better picture has come about because senior leaders have done a great deal since the previous inspection to lay the foundations for improvements in pupils' learning and in raising their achievement. For example, the whole school focus on the teaching of reading and the sounds that letters make is lifting standards. Immediate action has been taken by senior leaders to reorganise staffing by clarifying roles and responsibilities and creating new positions such as key stage leaders. Classes have also been restructured and more opportunities are available for staff now to learn from one another and share the good practice that exists. The monitoring of teaching has been tightened and is more frequent. As a consequence, the pace of change is accelerating and all staff are stepping up to the mark as the collective responsibility for improving the school continues to grow.
Nevertheless, the school is aware that the progress of pupils across the school is not yet uniformly good in all year groups. There are still pockets of underachievement and in some classes pupils are behind where they should be due to weak provision in previous years and because the quality of teaching and learning is still too variable. Senior leaders are correct in recognising that the key to resolving this issue lies in maintaining the focus on improving the quality of teaching to raise pupils' achievement further.
The skills of middle leaders continue to advance with new appointments. Their early actions are pointing to a clear understanding of the school's most pressing priorities. As a group they are impacting effectively on school improvement, most noticeably on pupils' better progress.
Governance continues to improve also. Governors are clear about why the school is not yet good. They understand the strengths in provision and where further improvements can be made. As a group, they are increasing their knowledge of what goes on in school and are keen to access further training and support.
Ofsted may carry out further visits and, where necessary, provide further support and challenge to the school until its next section 5 inspection.
External support
The local authority continues to provide an effective layer of extra support and challenge to the school, tailored well to the school's most pressing priorities. Links with other schools for example, have been well used to share good practice and strengthen the confidence and skills of staff. The time given by local authority officers will reduce as the school's ability to manage and direct its own improvement continues to improve.
I am copying this letter to the Chair of the Governing Body and the Director of Children's Services for Sheffield.
Yours sincerely
Steve Isherwood Her Majesty's Inspector

Providing leadership to Indiana and the region
One of the strategic goals of the University of Southern Indiana is to use University expertise and other resources to provide leadership to Indiana and the region. While USI has a long history of outreach and engagement, the opportunities to collaborate and provide applied research on issues impacting the region have never been greater. The stories that follow about the partnership with the Naval Surface Warfare Center–Crane Division, the new USI-Glenwood Community Health Center, the Mid-America Institute on Aging, and the annual business ideation contest are but a few of the many ways the University joins with community partners to make a difference in the state and in Southwest Indiana.
February 2012
Ryan Richardson of SAIC, a Crane contractor, served as head referee for the inaugural First Lego League tournament held at USI. The event was a regional qualifier for the state competition.
USI and NSWC–Crane Division
Working together to build a tech-savvy workforce and generate economic development
The partnership between the University of Southern Indiana and the U.S. Navy's engineering and technical support center in nearby Crane, Indiana, is deep and broad.
From a fourth-grader building a robot to the company executive looking for a solution to a technology problem, the relationship between the University and the Naval Surface Warfare Center– Crane Division, the third largest naval installation in the world, comes to bear. "We don't have this kind of relationship with any other university," said John Dement, technology transfer manager for Crane. "Usually, when a lab like Crane deals with a university, we're doing research and development with them. It's fairly narrow and projectbased. There's a contract.
"But, with USI, it's not about money. It's about a long-term commitment to change a region. USI is leveraging Crane's authority to provide technical assistance to make a difference."
USI and Crane officials signed agreements to enhance USI faculty research and student-learning opportu-
10
nities. One agreement also provides for collaboration to identify information or technology developed at Crane for military uses that could be commercialized or further developed for other uses, spurring economic development.
STEM activities
Both Crane and the University are making an impact by promoting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities and careers. The goal is to build a workforce in Southwest Indiana that will support a technologybased economy and continued economic development.
The Southwest Indiana STEM (SwISTEM) Resource Center, hosted by USI's Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education, has partnered with Crane, as well as its industrial contractors, on a number of activities—including SeaPerch, a national robotics program funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research. The first SeaPerch competition for Southwest Indiana was held at USI in 2011, attracting 21 teams of middle and high school students from
University of Southern Indiana
12 schools. Participants built their own remotely operated underwater robots for the competition. At press time, the University was planning to accommodate up to 80 teams for the 2012 contest. The event encourages learning basic engineering and science concepts with a marine engineering theme.
In the fall, USI introduced another robotics contest, the regional First Lego League (FLL) competition. It attracted 13 teams of children ages 9 to 14. Allison Grabert, interim director of the SwISTEM Resource Center, said the opportunity to network with professionals from Crane and its industrial contractors infuses events such as these with a real-world connection.
Ryan Richardson of SAIC, a Crane contractor, served as head referee for the FLL tournament. "Every student I spoke with had a different reason for participating, but one theme continued to rise to the top and that was the students' desire to succeed, learn, and have fun with one another," he said.
Opportunities such as SeaPerch and FLL give children visibility into the hightech world of engineering and technology.
Crane also has hosted summer faculty development workshops for middle school and high school teachers sponsored by the SwISTEM Resource
Center and provided judges and awards for the annual Tri-State Science and Engineering Fair hosted by USI. In 2011, Crane recruited high school sophomores from Rickover Naval Academy to attend the Pott College's GO (Girls Only) STEM! Camp and assisted them with transportation costs.
Developing curriculum
USI faculty member Dr. Jeff Thomas has developed curricular materials that relate to the work at Crane. An associate professor of education, Thomas worked with the USI Office of Distance Education, the U.S. Navy Crane STEM coordinator, and six scientists at Crane to complete the project.
The videos feature scientists from three Crane divisions (Elastomers, Prototypes, and Solar Power) discussing and demonstrating how science is involved in their work and how it relates to elementary students. Shooting took place in a tower, in a machine-filled laboratory, and in a field at the expansive Crane site. The project was coordinated through USI's Center for Applied Research. Crane will host the videos on its web site.
"The collaborative approach was instrumental," Thomas said, "in creating

a superb product that will help classroom teachers across the nation connect with students about the role of the U.S. Navy and the exciting work that scientists do."
In an earlier partnership, Thomas developed lesson plans for regional fourth- and fifth-graders to complete during field trips to Crane. One set of plans focuses on harnessing power and includes experiences to help students understand the role of solar power in the lives of U.S. Navy personnel. The other set focuses on power and propulsion and includes experiences in building rockets.
Undergraduate research
USI students investigating the relationship between the mechanics of the butterfly hind wing and its falsehead behavior in an undergraduate research project visited Crane facilities last summer. They planned to use Crane's microcomputer tomography (microCT) capability to collect information on the dimensions and microstructure of the butterfly hind wing for numerical modeling.
"Although we were not successful with the CT imaging, the Failure Analysis group at Crane was kind enough to offer another imaging technique (scanning electron microscopy) to help collect data," said Dr. Julian L. Davis, assistant professor of engineering. "I believe the students gained an appreciation for the

collaborative efforts—between individuals and institutions—that motivate many research projects. I also hope they gained an appreciation for the persistence necessary to succeed in research: it doesn't always work perfectly the first time around!"
Innovation Discovery
Crane and USI are collaborating on ways to commercialize Crane's military inventions and otherwise match Crane's experts, facilities, and additional resources with appropriate businesses, industries, and entrepreneurs. USI's Center for Applied Research (CAR), and the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville (GAGE) are significant links in this endeavor. Transferring technology from military use to commercial applications can trigger economic growth and create jobs.
CAR has developed a mining process for intellectual property that is designed to discover and document commercially viable projects. Called Innovation Process Discovery (IPD), it has been identified as a best practice by the Navy Technology Transfer Program and is a prototype for federal research laboratories throughout the country.
warfare/information operations, special missions, and strategic missions," said Dement of Crane.
With a technical staff of more than 2,000 persons working every day to develop solutions for military use, Crane offers fertile ground for spotting innovation with additional application.
Before the Innovation Discovery Process, there was no process in place to identify and capture the intellectualproperty aspects of discoveries at Crane. And there was little awareness among the scientists, technological personnel, and engineers of the technology transfer and commercialization potential of the innovations developed and implemented within their military projects.
At IDP events, Crane inventors present their specific project to a panel of technology transfer experts, business and engineering faculty, serial entrepreneurs, and industry experts who then explore potential inventions and commercialization opportunities using a structured creative-thinking process led by USI.
for commercial opportunities and exposes NSWC Crane's inventors to external partners. Once patented, these inventions become licensable to businesses and entrepreneurs leading to new business start-ups.
Student entrepreneurs
Expert panels are not the only ones who delve into thinking about how Crane's patented concepts can be applied elsewhere. Students in USI's College of Business program on entrepreneurship recently developed ideas for three Crane innovations: an airborne cargo mounting system that eliminates the need for tie-down chains, a crane, and pallets; a mechanism that allows a pilot's goggles to tilt and lock into position; and a modular safe room designed to provide protection from ballistics. Students in a class on ideation and innovation were challenged to produce ideas that would employ the technology in the commercial market and an additional "weird and wow" idea that was a take-off on the patent idea.
"At NSWC–Crane, technical staff develop innovative solutions to enhance existing devices and develop future capabilities in the areas of electronic
Since 2008, 40 Crane employees have presented 23 projects to expert panels. The process has led to 21 formal disclosures of inventions and 18 patent applications. Many more potentially viable projects have been identified.
The process unlocks the potential
"In essence, the students are another outlet that generates creative new ideas for Crane," said Bryan Bourdeau, instructor of business. "At the same time, students learn about ideation and critical thinking from engaging with

Crane. It's a real-world educational platform. I believe commercially viable ideas will come out of that class. It's only a matter of time."
A nine-person panel, including USI President Linda Bennett, recently judged the student presentations. As a judge for a similar event last year, Dement said USI students demonstrated some of the best presentation skills he has seen.
Technology transfer
To match Crane innovations with regional companies and entrepreneurs, the USI-Crane partnership also relies on GAGE, an economic development organization dedicated to enhancing the overall economic vitality of the region. USI is the education partner in GAGE.
"We are going out and working with regional companies that typically have a technology base," said Gene Recker, manager of education and entrepreneurial support for Innovation Pointe, a business incubator associated with GAGE. Dement and Recker, along with Debbie Dewey, president of GAGE, and the USI-Crane partnership manager, Dr. Andrew J. Moad, work as a team to stimulate technology transfer.
"We want to find out if companies have a product development challenge or issue that needs a technology-based solution," Recker said. "We ask them to describe the problem in concrete terms or what the solution would look like. Then we search through Crane or through the entire federal lab consortium to see if there's a technology out there that might be a potential solution.
"We have had success in doing that. In one case, a company needed a material with certain attributes. We found a similar material and were able to connect the person at the company with the scientist who invented it. They are now exploring how to move forward."
The technology transfer effort also can connect companies or individuals with experts at Crane for informational purposes.
"Crane has scientists who are leaders in their field," Recker said. "Sometimes a company wants to know
University of Southern Indiana where technology in that field is going. They want to know trends. Talking with experts in their field can be beneficial."
Crane test facilities offer another opportunity for collaboration. Companies often cannot afford state-of-the-art laboratories like those at Crane. Under certain circumstances, laboratory work may be done at Crane. Recker said this may require formal agreements and a fee, but is advantageous in some situations.
Dewey said the one-on-one "pull" approach working with companies was successful in a pilot program in 2011. This is a focused strategy different from
Moad named USI-Crane partnership manager
Dr. Andrew J. Moad has joined the University as USICrane partnership manager.
The manager serves as the liaison in growing the University's relationship with the Naval Surface Warfare Center - Crane Division in areas including applied research, technology transfer, innovation, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
"I'm very excited that Andy Moad is joining USI," said Dr. Mark C. Bernhard, USI associate provost for Outreach and Engagement. "His work as an analytical chemist in both government and corporate sectors, combined with his entrepreneurial spirit, made him the candidate of choice."
Moad was most recently a new product development chemist at Red Spot Paint and Varnish in Evansville. He also has experience as a research chemist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. He earned a doctorate in analytical chemistry at Purdue University.

the technology showcase that offers a more general look at available technology to a broad audience. Moving forward, the technology transfer team will expand the "pull" approach and add a "push" approach to identify technology or expertise in the region that might be useful to Crane.
Another boon to those interested in Crane technology is a business translation project completed by Jonathan Rietman as a student in USI's Master of Business Administration program. With the assistance of Dement, he and fellow student Nick John analyzed and translated complex patent information into non-scientific terms. The business translations helped inventors at NSWC Crane better understand the value of their patents for potential use in a commercial setting.
The translations were distributed to partnership intermediaries such as Tech Link and First Link and to a university network for use in helping transfer the technologies. These partners also provided assistance in identifying markets to explore for companies that could have interest in the patents.
Future collaboration
Senior leaders of both USI and Crane continue to brainstorm new ways to make a difference in Southwest Indiana. Also under consideration are studies of how innovation takes place and more collaboration in the area of education.
Dr. Mohammed Khayum, dean of the College of Business, and Dr. Kevin Celuch, professor of marketing, will lead a study to identify mechanisms in Crane's innovation process.
"Crane is a living laboratory to study innovation," Dement said. "USI brings the measures and metrics of innovation. If we can quantify and measure what we do, we can do it more effectively."
In the area of education, the partners are exploring the prospect of connecting doctorally prepared Crane scientists with USI as adjunct instructors. Instruction could take place at USI or at Crane facilities.

Ramp Thumper
A flight of four F-8E's launched shortly after lunch and headed seaward to conduct refresher carrier qualification landings. Once the flight established positive radio communication with the ship, they were given an expected approach time.
The division departed marshall on time and dumped sufficient fuel to arrive at the ramp at landing weight. As number two man commenced his first approach, he discovered he had no radio and took a voluntary waveoff. His second pass resulted in a foul-deck waveoff but he did regain two way communications with the radio on this approach. On his third pass, the driver went into APC (automatic power compensator) and rolled out in the groove with a high start.
The Crusader continued on down with no recognition of a low ball or even a tendency to go low. The next transmission was Paddles calling, "Wave it off." He backed up the call with the waveoff lights. The pilot went to full throttle and and moved his scan from the lens to the ramp. Almost simultaneously, he lit the afterburner as it was obvious he was going to strike the ramp. Next, he felt what seemed to be the tail striking the ramp and, without hesitation, he reached for the face curtain and pulled it with both hands.
The ejection sequence was normal and he landed safely in the water off the port quarter of the ship while the disabled Crusader proceeded off the angled deck and headed for the deep six.
Grampaw Pettibone says:
Great jumpin' Jehosaphat! Why do these young fellas keep pushin' the odds on surviving a ramp strike? It's a pretty well known fact that the pilot and his aircraft will lose every one of these encounters.
A bit of sage advice on the inside back cover of the April 1966 issue of Approach is worthy of repeatin', "Only constant vigilance and strict attention to the exacting demands of carrier landings will prevent the recurrence of accidents of this type. Positive measures must be taken to ensure that pilots continue to be reminded at frequent intervals of the consequences of making large corrections in close, and of the necessity to initiate an immediate waveoff whenever the meatball is lost late in the approach without attempting to salvage the approach. In addition, it is recommended that LSO's continue to be reminded and encouraged to monitor each carrier pass with an objective eye. Standards should not be altered to match individual pilot capability, more capable pilots must not be burdened by the LSO's expectation that they will somehow salvage their infrequent poor approaches."
Amen! Don't believe Ol' Gramps could add much to that. I recommend you CV types reread "Power! Power! Power!" on page 24 of the same issue.
Phlamed Out
This particular pair of Phantom flyers was scheduled to fly as number four in a four-plane Sparrow missile-firing flight. After departure, the leader experienced an auxiliary air door malfunction and returned to base. Number two assumed the lead and headed for the designated firing range. All three aircraft attempted to fire but, owing to problems with the ground controller's radar, they were unable to do so. The flight then departed the firing area and set up an orbit in trail to burn down fuel southeast of the home field at 10,000 feet.
After a few turns in this pattern,
all three aircraft were down to landing weight and the flight leader took up a heading for the initial to the duty runway, simultaneously instructing the flight to join up. Number three, believing that number two had lost sight of the leader, attempted to lead him in the rendezvous. As number three approached the leader from slightly above and astern, he realized the closure rate was excessive, so he retarded the throttles and extended the speed brakes.
Shortly thereafter, all electrical power was lost, both engines were unwinding through 35 percent, airspeed was 300K and the altimeter read 1,700 feet. The distraught driver attempted to re-light the starboard engine by activating the ignition button but met with failure. (RPM on both engines was down to 20 percent by this time.)
Again he attempted to astart the starboard engine by checking the left throttle in the off position, positioning the right throttle to idle and depressing the right ignition button. While the pilot was holding the ignition button, his RIO yelled, "Do you want me to eject?" To which he replied, "Affirmative."
After the RIO departed, the pilot turned his attention to the left engine and met with failure again. During this interlude, the Phantom continued its descent and at this moment was down to 400 feet, indicating 200 knots. Noting the acuteness of the situation, the unfortunate driver followed the example of his RIO and ejected. Both flyers enjoyed successful ejections and were retrieved in short order by the station helo.
Grampaw Pettibone says:
Oh, my achin' ulcers! The board concluded that contributing cause factors to this fiasco were "the pilot's perceptual error which led to a high closure rate necessitating rapid retardation of the throttles, the impaired physical condition of the pilot's left thumb (due to previous fracture) resulting in his unorthodox grip on the throttles, and 'body English' which may have caused excessive lateral forces to be applied to the throttles."
Well, I've heard everything now. Sure, we can afford improvement in design but we can't legislate against poor headwork. I seriously doubt if it would've helped this youngster anyway. First of all, we've gotta accept a missed rendezvous once in a while and take it like a man by sliding outside to a safe distance. Secondly, drivers like this fella had better bone up on the right procedure for restarting after a dual flame-out.
A little more Know and a little less Hope will save us a lot of airplanes and pilots, not to mention boosting the morale of the next-of-kin.
Gear Grinder
Following a routine preflight, the Crusader pilot made a start and taxied out to the duty runway. After receiving clearance to take the runway, he taxied into position and conducted a full-power checkout. Noting no discrepancies, he released his brakes and lit the burner shortly after commencing the takeoff roll. Approaching 125 knots, the pilot rotated to takeoff attitude and very shortly thereafter, thinking he was airborne, retracted the gear. The fuselage settled back onto the runway immediately. Despite extensive scraping and grinding of the gear doors and the bottom of the fuselage, the Crusader continued to accelerate and became airborne.
The amazed Crusader jockey made a turn to avoid a populated area and decided to assess the situation. There were no warning lights illuminated nor were there any other signs of trouble in the cockpit, so he requested the tower to divert an aircraft to conduct a visual inspection of his aircraft. No other aircraft being immediately available, it was decided that the pilot should lower the gear and fly by the tower for a check. The driver lowered the gear handle and noted all three gear indicated down and the hydraulic pressure normal. A low fly-by was conducted; the air traffic controller confirmed the gear was down. The pilot remained in the landing configuration and after making arrangements for a short field arrestment, made it without further damage.
Grampaw Pettibone says:
Great balls of fire! If this stunt doesn't shake the dew off the lily, nothin' will.
Here's an above average fighter pilot, with two WestPac cruises under his belt, that just couldn't stand prosperity. This fellow, a bit bored by a routine test hop, thought he'd spice it up a bit by executin' a sharp takeoff. There's nothing wrong with a sharp takeoff, but when it leads to a departure from flight discipline, the "professionalism" required in the execution becomes overshadowed by plain old "showmanship."
There are two dangerous periods in a pilot's life: One, when he's a young cub just learning to become a tiger, and two, when he's a battle-scarred tiger with plenty of time in model and maybe gettin' a few too many automatic reactions and becoming too relaxed. (Wish I had a quarter—inflation, you know—for every time I've said that.)

307.2.3.3 Condensate Pumps. Condensate pumps shall be installed per the manufacturer's installation instructions.
For any questions about the code changes, please contact Bill Hendrix, [email protected]
Motion made by John Corliss to submit the code changes as proposed to the State of Oregon for review. Second by Randy Soelberg. Motion carried unanimously
Scholarship Committee:
The scholarship chair will be contacting PCC and Chemeketa after the New Year to begin the scholarship process as approved earlier in the year.
NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE:
Nominations Committee Chair Mike Remesnik announced that the Committee is considering the following slate of officers for election:
President – Bill Hendrix
First Vice-President – Samantha Vandagriff
Second Vice President/Treasurer – Wess Rowley
Secretary – Randy Soelberg
At-Large – Loren Watts
At-Large – John Stelzenmueller
NEW BUSINESS:
Bill Hendrix would like to discuss a change to the OMOA bylaws Article III, Section 3. Term of Office. The recommendation to be discussed is changing the current language that indicates a term of on year to a term of two years. This will be brought to the table at the February meeting for discussion.
An e-mail was forwarded to OMOA be Dick Stillwell from ORACCA on behalf of Hart/Cooley Inc about a code change to be made to the UMC about limiting the amount of flex duct that can be used. After some discussion, we determined that the changes are applicable, if passed, to the UMC codes and not to the OMSC, so there was no direct impact on our state or contractors. Our consensus was that our corporate response was not needed; but we do agree with Hart & Cooley and the dissenting associations that the science is a little "light" and does not make the case regarding the energy loss in installations and the need to restrict the length of material to five feet. We asked our members to use the link to add their own comments on this proposal.
OLD BUISNESS:
The web site, www.omoaonline.org continues to evolve and be updated. If you find anything that you think needs to updated or changed, please send those to John at [email protected] or Samantha Vandagriff at [email protected].
CODE DISCUSSION:
Q. How are you verifying the required air space at ducts? A. You can tell be feeling it, the air space will be obvious. You can also generally tell by the installation, if the installation is tight against the pipe at corners, it probably does not have the required air space.
Q. Where are you requiring the audible /visual alarm required by OMSC 606? A. The code requires it to be to an approved location. This call would be up to the Building Official in the jurisdiction. The consensus was to verify prior to installation what would be approved in the jurisdiction you are in.
Q. Are you requiring mastic and the joint?
A. General consensus was that it was not needed.
ABM DISCUSSION:
Call for any additional nominations for the executive board.
Motion made by John Corliss to accept the nominations as presented by the nomination committee as a slate, Randy Soelberg 2 nd . Motion carried unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 3:38 p.m.
Respectfully,
Samantha Vandagriff Member at Large

Quick start Objenious
Table of contents
1. Public network
We will use the Objenious LoRa network as an example (https://spot.objenious.com/login) of implementing LoRa tag connectivity with a public network.
To view your LoRa tags and analyze their data, you must create the tags on the Objenious platform and fill in the DEVEUI, APPEUI, and APPKEY identifiers.
The first step is to create a "group" that will contain your LoRa tags. To create a group, go to the "Administration" section.
In this example, the group is "ELA Innovation". In the field "Devices and measures", click on "Device Provisioning":
A new page opens after this operation. Open the "SINGLE-UNIT PROVISIONING" tab, select the "device profile" and select "Create a device":
Make sure you have the three identifiers to register your tag on the Objenious network:
* DEVEUI: globally unique device identifier (64 bits)
* APPKEY: 128-bit encryption key for pairing the device with the application server
* APPEUI: globally unique identifier for pairing server (64 bits)
Complete the information below:
1.2 Viewing sensor data
Using the Objenious interface:
All your registered sensors are listed in the Objenious interface under "Pool view".
Note: the "Information" tab shows information about the sensor (APPEUI, DEVEUI...). With LoRaWAN, data from sensors to the server is transmitted in Uplink flows. Information transmitted from the server to sensors are Downlink flows.
Choose the type of message to view and click on the icon then on the "Contents" tab to display the entire frame.
Example of Uplink frame contents for a LoRa TEMP:
| Field | | Field value | | Field information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | 0x0103 | | | |
| | 0x01 | | Fw rev = 1 | |
| | 0x01 | | Protocol rev=1 | |

The company includes Karina Arroyave, Helen Cespedes, Jacqueline Correa, Daniella De Jesús, Paloma Guzmán, Keren Lugo, Elizabeth Ramos, and Jeanine Serralles
Special *Inside Two River* programming around the play includes *Operation Homefront*, an engagement series for veterans and military families, and a free Spanish-language reading of *The Women of Padilla (Las Mujeres de Padilla)* on Monday, April 17 as part of Nosotros, Two River’s outreach program for Latino artists and audiences.

Opening: Friday, April 14, 2017 at 8pm
RED BANK, NJ— Two River Theater, under the leadership of Artistic Director John Dias and Managing Director Michael Hurst, continues its season with *The Women of Padilla*, a new play by Tony Meneses, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll. Performances will begin in Two River’s Rechnitz Theater, 21 Bridge Avenue, on Saturday, April 8 and continue through Sunday, April 30. The opening night performance is Friday, April 14 at 8pm.

Nosotros is funded in part by The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey and Bank of America Charitable Foundation.
*The Women of Padilla* tells the story of eight women married to eight brothers, all of whom are away fighting an unnamed war that seems as if it has been going on for years and will continue for many
more. While each waits for news of her husband’s fate, they carry on and cook and laugh and weep and fight. Inspired by the heightened lyricism of playwright and poet Federico García Lorca, this new play shows there is always a way—even through the hardest of times—to set our love free.
*The Women of Padilla* features **Karina Arroyave** as Blanca, the one on the outside; **Helen Cespedes** as Lucha, the one with poetry; **Jacqueline Correa** as Mari, the one who quietly leads; **Daniella De Jesús** as Fidelia, the one who’s taciturn; **Paloma Guzmán** as Alejandra, the one who’s expecting; **Keren Lugo** as Marta, the one with faith; **Elizabeth Ramos** as Cristina, the one who’s young; and **Jeanine Serralles** as Carmen, the one who drinks.
**Tony Meneses** was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and raised in Albuquerque and Dallas. His play *Guadalupe in the Guest Room* had its world premiere at Two River Theater in 2015 and is now published by Dramatists Play Service.
**Ken Rus Schmoll** previously directed Madeleine George’s *Seven Homeless Mammoths Wander New England* at Two River Theater. He is a two-time Obie Award-winning director, primarily of new plays and operas.
The creative team for *The Women of Padilla* includes scenic designer **Arnulfo Maldonado**, costume designer **Oana Botez**, lighting designer **Yuki Nakase**, and sound designer **Jane Shaw**. The puppet designer is **James Ortiz**, the puppet director is **Will Gallacher**, and the casting is by **Heidi Griffiths & Kate Murray**. The production stage manager is **Alison Hassman**.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
JON KAHEN, a/k/a JON KAEN, GLOBAL VOICECOM, INC., GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES INC., and KAT TELECOM, INC.,
Defendants.
Civil Action No. CV 20-00474 COGAN, J.
PROPOSED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
This matter having come before the Court upon the application of Plaintiff, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, for a temporary restraining order pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1345; the Complaint; the Declaration of Sean Fagan, Special Agent with the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General (“SSA OIG”); the Declaration of Ashlea Bowens, Postal Inspector with the United States Postal Inspection Service (“USPIS”); and the Certification of the Attorney for the United States:
WHEREUPON THE COURT, having considered the matter, finds that:
1. There is probable cause to believe that defendants JON KAHEN, a/k/a JON KAEN, GLOBAL VOICECOM, INC., GLOBAL TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES INC., and KAT TELECOM, INC. (“Defendants”) are violating and are about to violate 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343 and 1349;
2. The statutory conditions for granting a temporary restraining order under 18 U.S.C. § 1345 are therefore met;
3. Irreparable harm to the public is presumed in actions under 18 U.S.C. § 1345 where the statutory conditions are met. *See United States v. Savran*, 755 F. Supp. 1165, 1179 (E.D.N.Y 1991). Nonetheless, even though a showing of irreparable harm is not necessary under Section 1345 in order to obtain injunctive relief, permitting the Defendants to continue to participate in the alleged extensive wire fraud scheme would constitute irreparable harm. For example, the Defendants’ continuing violations have caused and will continue to cause irreparable harm to victims across the United States. Immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage, in the form of payments which victims across the United States will send in response to fraudulent phone calls transmitted by Defendants, could result before Defendants can be heard in opposition; and
4. Defendants’ violations will continue unless a temporary restraining order is issued.

Prelude
"Minuet in G Minor"
Introduction
Welcome to worship at New Scotland Presbyterian Church.
Since it is the first Sunday of the month, we will be celebrating communion, so you are invited to gather elements to participate. Jesus sat at a dinner table with his friends, and used elements common to them: bread and wine. You are invited to use elements that are common to your table – bread or cracker or chip; and juice or wine or other drink, even water will do. You might set these on a special cloth and include a candle or flower or something to indicate you are welcoming a guest to the table. You may add a photo of someone you love to be part of the circle. Take a moment, if you haven't already, to gather those elements.
Call to Worship
Let us worship and sing praises to God, for the Lord is gracious and worthy of praise. God gathers the outcasts and heals the brokenhearted. God gives the stars their names and makes the grass to grow on the hills. Let us hope in God's steadfast love and worship God together!
Hymn
Choir
"What a Friend We Have in Jesus" #403 in the Presbyterian Hymnal
Opening Prayer
God our Creator, you bring healing to our lives and comfort to our hearts. But there are times when we contribute to things that break your heart. You ask us to share our gifts with the world, but we often want to keep our resources close and our minds closed. You ask us to live in faithful community, but we view our neighbors with mistrust. You ask us to see all people as our sisters and brothers, but we separate ourselves from those who seem different from us. Open our hearts, O God, and reveal the great distance between your wisdom and human understanding. Open our minds to the simple truth of the gospel that we may be fervent in faith, tireless in love, and may become light and salt for the world. Amen.
Words of Assurance
Dear friends in Christ: the promise of scripture is that God's love and mercy surround us always. God created us; God cherishes us, and God offers us a new beginning. Thanks be to God. Amen.

Ryan Dwyer
Gospel Lesson Mark 1:29-39
32 That evening, at sunset, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered around the door. 34 And he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31 He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
35 In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and his companions hunted for him. 37 When they found him, they said to him, "Everyone is searching for you." 38 He answered, "Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do." 39 And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.
Kids' Time
For those unable to see the video, the children's sermon is about different ways to pray. We ask for daily bread because we don't want to be so poor that we are tempted to steal, and we don't want to have so much that we think we do not need God to help us. Now it's time to see the photos that remind us of God's love and hope and joy. {photos.} Keep sending us your photos so we can share them in the coming weeks!
Prayer: Dear God, we give thanks that Jesus showed us how to pray to you in many ways. Help us to remember to ask for your guidance and listen for what you want us to know. Let us ask for help when we have too little, and let us share with others when we have too much. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
Hymn
Choir
"Now Praise the Lord" verses 1,3,4 #255 in the Presbyterian Hymnal
Sermon
The ideas and many words in this sermon are from the writing of the Rev. Will Willimon. 1 We are hearing the stories of Jesus' first days in ministry. Two weeks ago we heard the story of Simon and Andrew and James and John leaving their fishing nets to follow Jesus, and now we hear about their first day together. As I said, it began with them going to the synagogue where Jesus amazed everyone with his teaching, and then healed a man of his demons. After synagogue, they went to Simon's house, where Jesus cured Simon's mother-in-law. Then the entire town came over, and Jesus healed every sick person they brought.
Sometimes we think of all this healing as miraculous, but the Bible does not name these actions as miracles. We use the word "miracle" because we do not know how to explain what is happening. The crowds are astonished, but Jesus acts as if his wondrous work is the most natural thing in the world. So, what we label as odd, unusual, out of this world, miraculous – all of that seems normal for Jesus. Jesus heals as a spontaneous, gracious outbreak of the kingdom of God. Jesus' actions, perhaps, give us a glimpse of what the "natural" world is intended to be.
Jesus challenges our notions of what we call "natural" and "supernatural." We call things supernatural if they are weird or inexplicable or we don't know what to think about them. But, Willimon suggests that maybe what we call "natural" is really a perversion of what God intended; and maybe what we call "supernatural" is the way the world is really meant to be. Maybe the miracles, which to our eyes appear supernatural, are, in the eyes of God, the most natural thing in the world.
Jesus was accused of turning the world upside down. But maybe he was really turning the world right side up.
We live in a do-it-yourself culture, where we rely upon ourselves and our technology to solve all our problems. Miracles are an insult to our self-sufficiency. Miracles mean that something outside of ourselves has power to change our lives, whether we want it or not.
John's gospel calls Jesus' miracles "signs." So we can think of the exorcism of the demon in the synagogue, and the healing of Simon's sick mother-in-law as signs, pointing to something else. These events are impressive on their own, but they point to something even more important.
Willimon believes that Jesus' healings are like parables: pointing to the truth of who Jesus really is, and the direction in which the world is really headed.
The signs are not ends in themselves; they merely point to something larger. Anyone with the power to heal can attract large crowds. But many who come are likely there only to be fed, or cured, and have no interest at all in God. Jesus came looking for faithful disciples, not fascinated spectators. He comes not to impress people with great miracles, but to offer signs, pointing to who God is and what God wants. Jesus' miracles disrupt the world as we think it is. Those signs give us a glimpse that there is more going on with God than we might imagine.
Jesus said, these good works are signs of an intrusion, an outbreak of the kingdom of God in our midst. So when he rebukes demons, he's releasing hostages from their captors and reclaiming enemy territory. Every time Jesus intervened and healed someone he vividly demonstrated that this is the way the world is supposed to be. This is God's intention for creation. This is what is normal.
St. Augustine said that Jesus' miraculous feeding of the 5,000 is not much more of a miracle than what a baker does every day – taking a sack of flour and some water and producing loaves that can feed multitudes. He says we need to have eyes to see that some of what we consider "natural" is, through the eyes of faith, a sign of a miraculously loving God, who continues to work in many ways to bring healing and wholeness to us and all of creation. The difference, Augustine says, is the timing. Jesus is able to do in an instant what we "normally" expect to take hours or days or weeks. The question is: do we have eyes of faith to see the miracles that happen around us every day in the normal, but much slower, way?
Whether we do or not, the gospels are clear that miracles themselves are not the main thing. Miracles are signs that point to the main thing: and the main thing is God's real and active presence in the world. As impressive as any individual miracle might be, the one event, the central sign, the wonder that puts all else about Jesus into proper perspective is his resurrection. We may still see some of the miracles Jesus performed in our everyday world, but God did something very different and uniquely revealing in raising Jesus from the tomb.
So, as we read the stories, we are not meant to work our way up from Jesus' small miracles of turning water into wine and healing and the like, to get us to believe that God later brought life out of death. Instead, we are meant to work backwards, just as the disciples did. When they were perplexed after the crucifixion, knowing Jesus had really died, but recognizing his undeniable presence with them, it was as if everything suddenly fell into place.
Now we get it, they said after his resurrection. Now we see that all those works of healing and feeding people were signs pointing to the much larger project that God is doing. Now we see that God is determined to have nothing less than the complete and utter defeat of sin and death, and the whole hurting world delivered back into the hands of God.
In that moment, the disciples recognized that this is who God really is. And this is who God means us to be.
Not only was Jesus a miraculous healer, he sent the disciples out two by two, so that they, too, would "preach the kingdom of God and ... heal." It would be one thing for Jesus to say, "I am able to bring healing, comfort, and wholeness to suffering people." But he does not stop at that. He says to his followers, to all of us, "I enable you to bring healing, comfort, and wholeness to suffering people."
This is the Word of the Lord for us. Thanks be to God. Amen.

Pastoral Prayer
Holy and Loving God, we come to you always with prayers of thanks for the goodness and blessings we know. We give you thanks for the beauty of this world that you created, for the love of our families and friends, for all gifts of healing and forgiveness. In the midst of a contentious and hurting world, help us to see the places where your hope is alive.
Hear our prayers, O God, for those who cry out for justice, mercy, and healing; for all those who wish us harm, and for all those whom we have hurt. We pray for those in positions of public trust and leadership, that they may know your wisdom and work for the good of all they serve.
We pray for those suffering in body, mind, or spirit; for those who are ill and in need of healing, for those who are exhausted and in need of rest; for those who are depressed; for those who are addicted; for those trapped by anger or hatred or vengeance; for those estranged and in need of reconciliation. Gracious God, bring peace and harmony to ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Finally we pray for your church in today's world, O God. You have brought us together to hear your Word, to be encouraged and strengthened, and you continually send us back into your world to serve you with our gifts. We ask that you will keep us attentive to your daily guidance so that we might bear witness to your love in our lives. Strengthen our resolve to be true disciples of Jesus Christ. And hear us as we pray the prayer he taught us:
Ryan Dwyer
Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Communion
Today we celebrate the Lord's Supper with elements that we have at our own tables. It is no longer a church table or your family table. We invite the Lord to all our tables, and he becomes our host. He feeds everyone who is hungry, so all are welcome at this meal.
The Great Thanksgiving
Let us lift our hearts to the Lord, and offer our thanks and praise. Let us pray.
Eternal God, holy and mighty, it is truly right and our greatest joy to give you thanks and praise, and to worship you in every place where you abide. You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They are ever-changing, but you are always the same. You made us in your image, but we turned from you. Still you loved us and sought us. In Christ your grace defeated death and opened the way to eternal life.
Therefore, we praise you with the heavenly choirs, and with all the faithful of every time and place, who forever sing to the glory of your name, with the words of the sanctus and benedictus:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest, hosanna in the highest.
You are holy, O God of majesty, and blessed is Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Revealing your love, Jesus taught those who would hear him, healed those who believed in him, received all who sought him, and lifted the burden of sin. We glorify you for your great power and love at work in Christ.
Remembering your mighty and merciful acts, we take our bread and our cups, from the gifts you have given us, and celebrate with joy the redemption won for us in Jesus Christ. With thanksgiving we offer our praise, and we offer our very selves to you, to be a living and holy sacrifice, dedicated to your service. Great is the mystery of faith:
Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Gracious God, pour out your Holy Spirit upon us and upon your gifts, that the bread we break and the cup we bless may be the communion of the body and blood of Christ. By your Spirit make us one with Christ that we may be one with all who share this feast, united in ministry in every place. As this bread is Christ's body for us, send us out to be the body of Christ in the world.
Help us, O God, to love as Christ loved. Knowing our own weakness, may we stand with all who stumble. Sharing in his suffering, may we remember all who suffer. Held in his love, may we embrace all whom the world denies. Rejoicing in his forgiveness, may
we forgive all who sin against us. Give us the strength to serve you faithfully until the promised day of resurrection, when, with the redeemed of all the ages, we will feast with you at your table in glory.
Through Christ, with Christ, in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory, praise, and honor are yours, eternal God, now and forever.
Amen, amen, amen.
Breaking the Bread
{Break your bread as these words are said.}
The Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, sat with his friends at a dinner table. He took bread, blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat. This is my body given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.
{Pour your drink into a cup, or, if already in a cup, lift the cup as these words are said.} In the same way he took the cup, saying: This cup is the new covenant sealed in my blood, which is poured out for you, and for many, for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this in remembrance of me.
{Lift up the bread and cup.}
These are the gifts of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God.
Take; eat the bread of heaven, and drink and the cup of new life.
Prayer After Communion
God of grace, you renew us at your table with the bread of life. May this food strengthen us in love and help us to serve you in each other. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Offering
Sisters and Brothers, Jesus encourages us to bring all that we have, and give it in love, for the good of others.
Churches depend on the generosity of members and friends to support their ministries of doing God's work in a broken world. If you are able to mail in an offering, or give online at https://www.newscotlandpc.com/, we are grateful for that gift of financial support. If all you can offer is prayers, we love you for the gift of that spiritual support for our church, and for our ministry in this community and in the world. We are blessed to share our gifts and to love one another. Thank you for your generous giving!
Song of Praise
Ryan Dwyer
These are probably the most-sung lines in the last 300 years, so here are both the traditional words, and another variation:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, you heavenly host;
Praise God for all that love has done;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Creator, Christ, and Spirit, One.
Benediction and Blessing
Go out to love God and love God's people; to serve and serve God's people. And may the love of God go with you, and all those whom you love, both this day and always. Amen.
Choral Benediction
Choir
May God's blessings surround you each day
As you trust Him and walk in His way.
May His presence within
Guard and keep you from sin,
Go in peace, go in joy, go in love.
Go in peace, go in joy, go in love.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SCHOOL BUS SAFETY
Your Lincoln County Sheriff's Office would like to remind drivers of their responsibility to stop for school buses displaying red flashing lights. Because buses are large vehicles, the level of difficulty to see around them increases. The outcome of illegally passing a stopped school bus is potentially devastating for children and drivers.
Law enforcement agencies continue to receive reports each year from bus drivers and other citizens about motorists failing to stop for school buses. With nearly 6,000 school buses operating in the State of Oregon, motorists need to be alert.
Oregon law requires motorists to stop whenever the red lights on a school bus are flashing, regardless of the direction they are traveling. The law applies to any roadway with two or more lanes of traffic, including multi-lane highways such as Highway 101.
The only exception to the law is for divided highways with two roads separated by an unpaved median strip or barrier, such as in the Lincoln and Gleneden Beach areas. In this case, only drivers on the same side of the road as the bus must stop. A painted median strip or a center lane used only for left turns does not create two separate lanes. Where this situation exists, all lanes of traffic must stop.
When a bus is flashing amber lights, motorists should prepare to stop. When the red lights begin to flash, motorists traveling in both directions must stop before reaching the bus and must remain stopped until the red lights are turned off. The same rules apply to church or worker buses equipped with amber and red flashing lights.
Please do your part to make our roads safe. Be aware when following any type of bus, that it may be making frequent stops. Following these tips will help reduce the risk of traffic crashes and pedestrian injuries in our community.
For more information and tips, visit our website at www.lincolncountysheriff.net and Like us on Facebook at Lincoln County Sheriff's Office – Oregon.

Objectives
These SOPs are designed to ensure that FMD (Falsified Medicines Directive) requirements are followed as part of the pharmacy dispensing and medication handling processes:
1. Medicine verification and aggregation
2. Medicine decommissioning
3. Undo decommissioning
4. Destroy medication
Scope
These SOPs relate solely to the use of the PharmScanner web application (https://pharmscanner.co.uk) for fulfilling the pharmacy FMD requirements.
The SOPs does not cover how to fulfill these obligations by any other method or software.
Responsibility
Only those members of the pharmacy team who have been considered competent and listed in the declaration of competence can carry out these procedures.
Review
The SOPs will be reviewed every two years by the pharmacy superintendent to reflect any changes to legislation affecting the FMD processes.
SOPs should also be reviewed:
* if there is any change in the number of, or competency level of, staff in the pharmacy.
* following any critical incidents.
Associated risks
PharmScanner is a web-based application, and so the organisation should ensure that internet access is consistently available. There is also some hardware required for the FMD dispensing processes, such as 2D bar code scanners; the organisation should ensure that these are available, including spare equipment in case of accidental damage or malfunction.
Standard Operating Procedures for
Falsified Medicines Directive operations
(Page 2 of 7)
Medicine verification and aggregation
The FMD process for medicine verification and aggregation is to be carried out after the prescription labelling process, and before the prescription assembly process.
1. Gather stock and prescriptions - after the prescription has been labelled, ensure that all prescription forms and items for dispensing are together in a basket, and bring to a computer workstation setup with access to PharmScanner (i.e. a computer with internet access, a 2D barcode scanner, and possibly a label printer).
2. Access/login to PharmScanner - access the PharmScanner web app from the computer web browser, and login using the premises account details (if not already logged in). Click the Dispense button on the PharmScanner app.
3. Assess if the current prescription has already been partly dispensed (e.g. if you are making up "owings" for this prescription).
a. If some of the items for this prescription have already been assembled (i.e. the medication labels have already been stuck onto some of the items) then "load" this existing PharmScanner "basket" by scanning the existing PharmScanner bag label, PMR bag label, or EPS prescription barcode.
b. If none of the prescription items have already been assembled, then you do not need to "load" an existing basket.
4. Scan each prescription-only medicine (POM) item - use the 2D barcode scanner attached to the computer to scan each item for this prescription which has not yet been assembled and also has a 2D data matrix barcode, to verify the pack using PharmScanner. Note that packs which do not have a 2D data matrix barcode do not need to be scanned on PharmScanner.
a. PharmScanner will produce an alert if there is an issue detected with a pack that has been scanned:
i. If an out of date pack has been scanned, an "out of date" alert will appear. In this case, remove the out of date item from the basket and set aside to be processed as per your medication disposal or wholesaler return procedure (as appropriate). You will need to get another pack of this prescription item from the dispensary to fulfill this prescription.
ii. If a pack scans and then the status is Unknown then this means that the pack is not in the product database, and it cannot be determined if the pack is legitimate, or if it is not legitimate. As such, it will be a choice for the Responsible Pharmacist to decide whether the pack can be used or
not, as long as they can justify their actions, by considering for example which supplier the medication has been purchased from.
iii. If the pack scans and the status is Inactive - split then this means that the pack has previously been decommissioned and marked as a split pack during a previous dispensing session. The pack can still be used, but you should double-check the quantity of medication in the pack.
iv. If the pack scans and the status is Inactive then this means that the pack cannot be used. Clicking on the entry for this pack in the current basket, will show more details in the "Product Details" window, in the "Reason" field:
1. If the reason is RECALLED or WITHDRAWN then do not use the pack and instead follow existing SOPs for dealing with recalled medication; you will need to get another pack of this prescription item from the dispensary to fulfill this prescription.
2. If there is any other reason (such as SUPPLIED, DESTROYED, LOCKED, EXPORTED, SAMPLE, STOLEN, CHECKED_OUT, FREESAMPLE) remove the suspicious pack from the basket and set aside to be processed as per your existing SOPs for dealing with suspected counterfeit medicines. You will need to get another pack of this prescription item from the dispensary to fulfill this prescription.
5. Check each item - for each item that was scanned in step 4, perform a visual check of that pack to make sure that if there is an anti-tamper device (ATD), that it has not been damaged. Note that if the pack does not have an ATD, then you would therefore not be required to check that it is intact.
a. If any of the scanned packs have a damaged ATD, check the computer screen for the PharmScanner app to see if the pack has previously been dispensed. If so, this may suggest that the pack has previously been "split" in another dispensing session.
i. If the damaged pack has not been previously dispensed with PharmScanner, then set this pack aside to be returned to the respective wholesaler as per your returns procedure. Click on the relevant pack entry on PharmScanner, and click the REMOVE PRODUCT button to remove it from the PharmScanner "basket". You will need to get another pack of this prescription item from the dispensary to fulfill this prescription.
6. Process MDS and split packs - packs that are going to be split to be put into an MDS/compliance aid, and packs that are being split to make up this prescription, both need to be decommissioned at this point. To do so, select each pack in the list of items in the "basket" that is to be split, and press the MDS/SPLIT PACK button.
7. SAVE & BAG or MARK AS COLLECTED - if the prescription is in a basket to indicate that the patient is currently waiting, then click the MARK AS COLLECTED button; otherwise, click SAVE & BAG .
a. Clicking SAVE & BAG will aggregate the prescription items, and bring up the SAVE & BAG popup. Scan each EPS prescription barcode and PMR barcode bag label (if available); if neither of these are available then click PRINT BARCODE and print an aggregate barcode label, and put this into the prescription basket with the prescription form(s) and prescription item(s).
Medicine decommissioning
Medication must be decommissioned at the point of supply - either when the patient or their representative collects it, or when it is about to be delivered.
* If the medication is being collected, then the decommissioning should take place immediately after the prescription transfer checks (e.g. confirming the correct patient, prescription, exemption or payment details etc).
* If the medication is being delivered, then the decommissioning should take place just before the medication is handed to the delivery driver, or being placed in the area designated for prescriptions which are due to be delivered on the next route.
1. Take the prescription to a computer workstation setup with access to PharmScanner (i.e. a computer with internet access, a 2D barcode scanner, and possibly a label printer).
2. Access/login to PharmScanner - access the PharmScanner web app from the computer web browser, and login using the premises account details (if not already logged in).
3. Scan the aggregate barcode label for this prescription; remember that this may be any one or more of the following:
a. An EPS prescription barcode
b. A barcode on a PharmScanner printed bag label
c. A barcode on a PMR bag label
4. On successful barcode scan, PharmScanner will load the prescription "basket" and re-verify all packs on the computer screen. Use the same instructions as in Medicine verification and aggregation to decide if any of the packs are inappropriate for supply.
5. If any packs are to be removed (e.g. the patient collecting does not wish to have one of the items on the prescription) then they can be removed at this stage: to remove a pack, select it in the list of items in the current basket, and then click REMOVE PRODUCT . A confirmation window will appear; click CONFIRM and the pack will be removed from the "basket". You can then put this pack of medication back into the dispensary stock, following your existing SOPs for this process.
6. Finally, click the MARK AS COLLECTED button to decommission the "basket" of medication. A confirmation window will appear; click CONFIRM and wait for the confirmation message that the basket has been successfully decommissioned.
Undo decommissioning
In some cases, it may be necessary to undo decommissioning of a pack or a "basket" of medication. For example, a medication delivery has failed because the patient was not at home to receive the prescription, and so the prescription has been brought back to the pharmacy.
1. Take the prescription to a computer workstation setup with access to PharmScanner (i.e. a computer with internet access, a 2D barcode scanner, and possibly a label printer).
2. Access/login to PharmScanner - access the PharmScanner web app from the computer web browser, and login using the premises account details (if not already logged in).
3. Scan the aggregate barcode label for this prescription; remember that this may be any one or more of the following:
- An EPS prescription barcode
- A barcode on a PharmScanner printed bag label
- A barcode on a PMR bag label
4. On successful barcode scan, PharmScanner will load the prescription "basket" and re-verify all packs on the computer screen.
- If there is a problem re-verifying any of the packs, then an alert will appear. Depending on the alert, follow the instructions in Medicine verification and aggregation
5. To undo the bag/"basket" decommissioning, click the UNDO DECOMMISSION button. A confirmation window will appear; click CONFIRM and wait for the confirmation message that the basket has been successfully recommissioned.
- If there is a problem with this process, then an alert will appear. Note that if the "basket"/bag was decommissioned more than 10 days ago, then it is not possible
under the FMD regulations to undo the decommissioning - in this case, the packs of medication which have been decommissioned are not to be reused.
Destroy medication
Occasionally, it may be necessary to quarantine prescription-only medicines (POMs) for destruction from stock already held within the pharmacy. For example, a bottle of liquid medication has become damaged and is leaking, and hence is to be placed in a medicine waste container to be collected and disposed of by incineration. Note that this SOP applies only to medication that was already within the pharmacy stock, and not to patient-returned medication (from this pharmacy or any other pharmacy).
1. Take the pack/packs to a computer workstation setup with access to PharmScanner (i.e. a computer with internet access, a 2D barcode scanner, and possibly a label printer).
2. Access/login to PharmScanner - access the PharmScanner web app from the computer web browser, and login using the premises account details (if not already logged in).
3. Scan each prescription-only medicine (POM) item that is to be destroyed - use the 2D barcode scanner attached to the computer to scan each item which has a 2D data matrix barcode, to verify the pack using PharmScanner. Note that packs which do not have a 2D data matrix barcode do not need to be scanned on PharmScanner.
4. Once all packs have been scanned, click the "Tools" dropdown menu at the top of the page, then click "Misc. Operations". This will enable the additional buttons, DESTROY and SAMPLE underneath the MARK AS COLLECTED button.
5. Click the DESTROY button, and the selected packs will be marked as destroyed. Confirmation of this action is seen when each pack in the "Current Basket" has the "Status" changed to "Destroyed".

L.O. LINEMARKING PAINT
granolithic and smooth surfaces should be roughened first to provide a good "key" for the paint. This can be done mechanically by abrading or blasting, or chemically using Coo-Var Acid Etch. These processes will have the advantage in addition to preparing the surface of also removing dirt and laitance. New concrete must be allowed to cure thoroughly which can take up to 3 months. Tarmac - new tarmac needs several months to weather before painting. Very porous surfaces should be sealed with an acrylic primer sealer before applying line marking paint. Other surfaces have to be prepared and primed with the suitable primer for that substrate. Existing painted surfaces Surfaces should be cleaned, degreased and sanded to ensure an adequate "key" is produced. Remove all loose and flaking material and treat bare areas as new substrate and prepare accordingly.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix well before use.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS:
As dictated by normal good painting practice. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
PRECEDING COAT:
Coo-Var Acrylic Primer Sealer if the surface is very porous.
SUBSEQUENT COAT:
Additional coats of Coo-Var L.O Line marking Paint.

WHEREAS, on January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled in the cases of *Roe v. Wade* and *Doe v. Bolton* that states may not enforce laws prohibiting abortion; and
WHEREAS, in the forty years since those decisions, the lives of over fifty million preborn children have been terminated; and
WHEREAS, many mothers have been physically and psychologically harmed by abortion; and
WHEREAS, women have faced dangerous conditions and substandard medical care in abortion clinics across the country, including at least one Arizona clinic where a woman needlessly lost her life after a botched abortion; and
WHEREAS, countless women and men live with the emotional scars of the tragic and painful choice to have an abortion; and
WHEREAS, no right to abortion is rooted in the traditions of the American people and no national right to abortion is conferred by the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions in *Roe v. Wade* and *Doe v. Bolton* have no basis in the text or history of the Constitution of the United States; and
WHEREAS, human life founded on inherent and inalienable rights is entitled to the full protection of law and due process and the U.S. Supreme Court’s abortion decisions have failed to protect the lives of preborn children.
Therefore
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona:
1. That the Members of the House of Representatives express their sorrow at the loss of life and the physical and psychological harm caused by forty years of legalized abortion.
2. That the Members of the House of Representatives shall make every effort to secure for preborn children at every stage of development all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to persons, citizens, and residents of this State, until the decisional interpretations of the United States Constitution by the United States Supreme Court provide protection for every human being.
3. That the Members of the House of Representatives shall make the health and safety of women in this State a priority by requiring that abortion providers meet standards that protect women from unsanitary facilities and unsafe practices.
Dated this 22nd day of January, 2013,

Dear Parents and Carers,
I am writing to you in advance of the start of the GCSE examinations.
The GCSE examinations commence on 15th May, some students will complete their language speaking exams before this date and I wish them all the best for these.
This year we will be expecting all of our year 11 students to remain in school until they have completed their examinations. I believe that the best place to prepare for exams is in school, working with subject specialists right up to the day of the examination. The normal Year 11 timetable will be amended to allow booster sessions to take place in advance of each examination. Please can you support us by ensuring that your child’s attendance at school does not fall away once the examinations have started.
Our teachers are currently completing their final preparations before the exams during lessons. In addition, revision materials, revision schedules, past papers and revision lessons are available through their google classrooms. If your child is struggling with revision in any subject, this is the best place to go for guidance.
I have put some links below to documents relating to public examinations. Please can you go through these with your child in advance of the examinations.

Finally, I want to take this opportunity to wish all of our Year 11 the very best in the examinations and thank you for supporting them and the school in getting them to this point.
Yours sincerely
Richard Vaughan

Re: Complaint for Discrimination in Violation of 42 U.S.C. § 300a-7(c)(1) (“Church Amendment”)
Contact attorney for complainant: Francis J. Manion, Esq.
Geoffrey R. Surtees, Esq.
American Center for Law and Justice
Complaint filed on behalf of: Karen Lightfoot-Betts
Person/Agency/Organization committing discrimination:
Date and nature of discriminatory acts:
In 1998 Karen Lightfoot-Betts worked as an RN at [redacted]. In late February - early March of 1998, she was deceived into participating in the surgical abortion of an approximately six-months gestational age unborn child.
Lightfoot-Betts, an individual with strong and lifelong religious beliefs against abortion, was part of the Operating Room nursing staff as the Clinical Resource Nurse of GYN at [redacted] at the time.
On the date in question, she was assigned to perform as a scrub nurse, a procedure that was deliberately scheduled incorrectly as a D&C for a missed spontaneous abortion: a miscarriage. [redacted] was the GYN Surgeon performing the procedure. She had brought a special tray of her own instruments to be used during the case. This, in and of itself, did not raise any alarms for Complainant as this is a frequent occurrence in the OR; special instrumentation brought in by the surgeon or a vendor for various procedures to be performed. As the procedure progressed, however, it became apparent that it was, in fact, a late-term surgical induced abortion.
Lightfoot-Betts witnessed the surgical removal of an infant about twelve (12) inches long which was the placed in a metal basin. To her horror, Lightfoot-Betts watched the helpless baby roll around in the basin and look at her.
Immediately following the completion of the abortion, Lightfoot-Betts went to her supervisor, [redacted]. She reported her horror at having been deliberately deceived into participating in an abortion and informed her supervisor that, based on her religion, she “could not do that,” i.e., participate in abortion procedures in the future. Her supervisor, [redacted], replied, “You have to do that. You are in charge of the GYN Service here. You have no other choice.” Lightfoot-Betts asked if anyone else who did not hold her religious beliefs could do the job in the future. She was told flat out and bluntly “No!” by [redacted]. When Lightfoot-Betts replied, “I guess I need to find another job, then,” [redacted] replied, “Well then, I guess you do!”
Lightfoot-Betts immediately began to look for another job. Several weeks later she succeeded in finding work in a Catholic hospital system where no abortions were performed and resigned from [redacted]. She has continued to work at this Catholic hospital system in order to guarantee that this type of incident will never happen to her again.
At the time of the incident, Lightfoot-Betts was not aware of surgical induced abortions being a procedure offered at her hospital. Previous to the merger of [redacted], absolutely no abortions were permitted due to the strong pro-life stance of the [redacted] administration at that time. This is to say that at no time prior to the date of the incident had Lightfoot-Betts ever been informed by management that abortions would be offered on the [redacted] once the [redacted] merger was complete. Although she was in charge of the GYN Service
at the [redacted] at no time prior to the date of the incident had Lightfoot-Betts ever been informed of that by management.
In addition, at no time prior to the incident was Lightfoot-Betts ever notified of her right, under federal or state law, to opt-out of participating in abortions based on her religious objections. In fact, after the incident, she was expressly told that her participation was mandatory and she was ordered to participate in abortion procedures whether she or not she had religious objections.
Although the incident occurred in 1998, Lightfoot-Betts is haunted almost daily by this experience to this day. She has a detailed recollection of the procedure itself, the people involved, and the people she spoke with about her experience following the incident. She describes herself as continuing to have “nightmare, visions, and generalized PTSD” from this event.
The response Lightfoot-Betts’s supervisor — “you have to do that, you have no choice” — indicates that [redacted] either had a grossly inadequate policy for protecting conscience rights at the time, or no policy at all. It seems clear that, even had Lightfoot-Betts not been deceived about the nature of the procedure, any request to opt-out would have been futile.
The violation of the Church Amendment here — as well as other state and federal conscience laws — could not be clearer. Since Lightfoot-Betts left the employ of [redacted] shortly after the incident, she cannot be certain about whether or not the hospital has ever changed its policies to bring them into compliance with the law. We urge HHS Office of Civil Rights to immediately initiate an investigation of this incident as well as [redacted] conscience policies — or lack of such policies — and take remedial action.
Karen Lightfoot-Betts only recently became aware of the protections afforded by the Church Amendment. Had she been aware of such protections in 1998, she would not have been forced to endure the horror of participation in this procedure. She is ready and willing to assist OCR in investigating and remedying this situation.

Welcome
OUR MISSION
In this increasingly stressful, competitive and fast-paced world, hooked on technology and lacking a sense of community, it is easy to get disconnected from our inner peace. We are becoming more and more prone to psychological and physical stress, lack of balance, and anxiousness about the present and the future. We also tend to adopt unhealthy lifestyles and eating habits, all of which negatively affect our quality of life and wellbeing.
While true and lasting transformation comes from within, Wings acts as a catalyst for change, endowing you with the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual tools that help you enhance your life, walk the path of personal transformation, and be in tune with yourself and your environment.
OUR VISION
Wings aims at shifting the perception about transformative learning and mental wellbeing based on the integrative healthcare approach, from a closed activity devoted to an elite, to a vital, scientifically-proven complementary practice that is just as essential as exercising and sleeping.
We aspire to become the leading center in Lebanon reflecting this vision.
OUR GENERAL SERVICES

Our Philosophy
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift” - Albert Einstein
In other terms, we have allowed our minds to control us instead of serving us. We believe it’s time we gave the intuitive mind back its primary role. And that’s what we’re here for.
We believe that every human being can be connected to his/her higher self, through which we can all conquer our fears and worries, enjoy a better life, and build a better community, a better city, a better country, and a better world.
We are witnessing the rise of a new era. It is like our entire planet were rebooting. The end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Wings is here to support this shift in human consciousness, and help the Lebanese step fully into their power and tackle life with a recharged mind, body, and spirit.
We believe in the depth and holistic value of the practices we offer. These practices have changed the lives of each and every member of our team in many ways, and we trust we can serve your wellbeing through imparting this knowledge to you.
Your First Visit
As a client-centered institution, Wings believes in the individuality of each person. This also means that when you first visit us as a new member, we take the time to explore who you are before developing the program that best fits you.
It all starts with you telling us a little about your life, your needs, and the challenges you’re facing. You are then offered a free evaluation about your health and fitness status, your emotional relationships, your parenting skills, your social life, as well as your career, your quality of life, and your life vision.
Based on the automated results, we then develop a comprehensive specific program that answers your exact needs, based on the holistic “Four Pillar” approach. According to those results, you are directed to the service or classes that best answer your specific needs, goals, and aspirations. You are also proposed the most affordable package that helps you fulfill your aim.
Our services can be provided anytime at your convenience, whether at the Center or in the comfort of your own home via our online subscription services.

The Four-Pillar Alignment
01 The Mental Pillar
Mindset
02 The Physical Pillar
Healthset
03 The Emotional Pillar
Heartset
04 The Spiritual Pillar
Soulset
The Mental Pillar
MINDSET
Under this umbrella come all disciplines that help you manage and cope with stress, anxiety and tension, or work on your personal and professional development.
Changing your belief system, reprogramming your mind to have it serve you instead of mastering you, unlocking your hidden potential, in addition to meditation, relaxation, and visualization exercises, are all part of this pillar which improves your mindset, boosts your mental fortitude, and helps you react differently to life’s challenges.
The Physical Pillar
HEALTHSET
The physical pillar teaches you to become friends with your body and feel at home in your own skin again, in order to experience a deeply fulfilling, vibrant life.
At wings, we guide you through all the activities and lifestyle strategies that enhance your physical health and well-being, and make you feel balanced, de-stressed, in shape and vital.
These strategies encompass holistic nutrition, regular exercise, proper relaxation, deep sleep, a healthy sexual life, smoking cessation if need be, and all that boosts oxygenation of the blood and brain, stimulates the production of endorphins, improves blood circulation and digestion, and increases feelings of well-being.
Depending on your objectives, needs, and health limitations, a tailor-made Healthset program is designed for you, which includes in certain cases being checked up by your primary care physician.
The Emotional Pillar
HEARTSET
Our past strongly influences our behavior and dictates the way we operate. Feelings such as fear, guilt, shame, anger, intolerance, bereavements, and loneliness, as well as traumas, phobias, obsessions, a lack of motivation, a lack of confidence, and many other emotional issues, are often caused by blocked or suppressed emotions, which could be originating from childhood wounds, fear of abandonment, fear of loss, low self love, or other more recent circumstances.
Getting in touch with your inner emotions is known to help you feel more energetic and less anxious. At WINGS, you will learn some tools and strategies to identify and express your feelings, release toxic emotions, raise your emotional intelligence, feel forgiveness and gratitude, assert yourself, increase your self-esteem, better manage and communicate your anger, and most of all love yourself.
The Spiritual Pillar
SOULSET
“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own soul” – Carl Jung.
A lack of meaning or purpose in life can often be the cause of anxiety or emptiness; a feeling often called “existential anxiety”, which arises from a sense of incompleteness, of unreached potential, or of a vital or spiritual dimension missing in your life.
Discovering what matters for you, giving your life a greater meaning, or developing your spiritual life, are often a way to reach a higher state of harmony and feel a sense of accomplishment. And Wings is there to introduce you to the essentials of Inner work.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, we’re able to help you transcend your blocks and obstacles and reach the next level with ease. We will teach you how to tune into your spiritual energy to empower your “real world”, and to tap into your intuition so that you can get answers to your true calling, and overcome the fears that are stopping you from moving forward.
If it’s true transformation that you’re seeking, you’ve come to the right place.
LET YOUR DREAMS BE YOUR WINGS

OUR TEAM
Our multidisciplinary team includes highly accomplished certified therapists, psychologists, personal and business coaches, healers, and physicians, rated among the best in Lebanon and the Middle East. They are known for having helped thousands of patients boost their potentials, break free from their mental barriers, and lead successful lives.
Not only are they highly qualified, but our instructors also have a long personal history with their respective fields, keep up to date with the latest methods, and most of all practice empathy by engaging meaningfully with the community members.
My constant craving for self-development steered me towards a rich, multidisciplinary professional life. It started with a degree in Information Technology which led me to serve in the corporate sector for more than 18 years, before getting a toehold in the public sector, to add additional 12 years.
The real journey started in 2003, when I decided to embark on a soul-searching journey, in a quest for a higher purpose in the midst of a particularly challenging context. In 2016, I had to face one of life’s most challenging encounters, having to face the fear of losing a young loved one. I had to go into a roller-coaster of emotional turmoil, anxiety, doubts, and fears accompanied by existential questionings. I started to better understand the importance of gratitude, forgiveness, and unconditional love, and the necessity of contemplating the miracle of life, and the fascinating gifts granted to us by our creator.
But it is not until late 2019, after having achieved a series of outstanding professional successes, that I have experienced a real dynamic shift in consciousness. I was now sure that all the inner doubts and childhood wounds I have been dragging over the years, would only be overcome through a new paradigm. Following the Covid-19 outbreak of 2020, I realized that I was not aligned with my true purpose, and thus, I decided to take a leap of faith into a new journey breaking an unhealthy repeated life cycle, to pursue my true passion: that of transforming lives and empowering people, raising their awareness, and guiding them through their journey into consciousness.
I consequently founded Wings, with the purpose of sharing with others all what this new and enriching experience has brought me, thus endowing a community of awakened citizens with the right tools that would help them become the agents of change in Lebanon.

BiovisION is a complete solution for stable isotope analysis in the food and fragrance industries and is a critical tool in the arsenal for protecting the consumer from unscrupulous behavior. With low running costs and minimal contact time, BiovisION provides significant competitive advantage to your laboratory.
Wine is a high value commodity which commands a premium price dependent on its origin and quality. In some countries lower quality wines may be illegally improved by the addition of sugars during fermentation in a process known as "chapitalization". Analysis of the $\delta^{13}$C signature of the ethanol can help detect this fraudulent activity.
This data bulletin demonstrates the analysis of distilled ethanol complying with European Commission Regulation No 440/2003 using the BiovisION stable isotope analyzer. Three wine/must–ethanol samples and one alcohol from cereals with known $\delta^{13}$C values were analyzed. The average $\delta^{13}$C values and corresponding absolute standard deviations are given below.
| SAMPLE | n | MEASURED $\delta^{13}$C [%o] | THEORETICAL $\delta^{13}$C [%o] |
|-----------------|-----|-------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| Alcohol from cereals | 4 | $-22.78 \pm 0.01$ | $-22.8$ |
| Must Italy | 4 | $-26.46 \pm 0.01$ | $-26.5$ |
| Must Italy | 4 | $-26.92 \pm 0.01$ | $-26.9$ |
| Wine Italy | 4 | $-24.64 \pm 0.01$ | $-24.6$ |
The results show that the $\delta^{13}$C value can be measured with a very high accuracy and precision. BiovisION, equipped with the vario liquid sampler is very well suited for the detection of intermixture of C$_4$ sugars in Wine.
BiovisION fulfills the requirements of the European Commission Regulation No 440/2003 (annex II) on "determination by isotope mass spectrometry of the $^{13}$C/$^{12}$C ratio in wine ethanol or ethanol".
The analyses were performed in cooperation with Dr. Federica Camin, IASMA Research Center, San Michele All’Adige, Italy.

DOMES Meeting Minutes – February 23, 2022
Meeting Date: February 23, 2022
Time: 3:00pm
Facilitator: Dan Schebler, Director of Operations Location: Okaloosa Administration BOCC
Offices/ Via Teams Meeting
______________________________________________________________________________
Attendees:
In-Person:
* Brad Baker (Santa Rosa County)
* Dan Schebler (Chief Operating Officer (COO)
* Craig Coffey (Okaloosa County)
* Melissa Thomason (Walton County)
* Eric Gilmore (Escambia County)
Mr. Schebler opened the meeting and stated all DOMES Board members were present and in person for the meeting, therefore the meeting quorum is met. Additionally, he advised the meeting is recorded.
Mr. Schebler turned the meeting over to Mr. Brad Baker for public forum.
Public Forum Comments:
Mr. A.J. Brown stated he is here to observe the meeting and learn more about the upcoming project.
Mr. Baker closed public forum and turned the meeting back over to Mr. Schebler
Approval of the Minutes
* January 26, 2022 meetings
Mr. Schebler stated the meeting minutes have been previously distributed via email to all board members:
We discussed briefly before the last meeting the DOMES bylaws in accordance with the Florida Statute defined a quorum as two members being present. Two members were present at the January 26 th meeting, so revisiting approval of the minutes of the November 22 and December 7, 2021 minutes approved in February do not required approval this meeting.
Mr. Schebler asked if there were any concerns or changes on the January 26, 2022 minutes. None stated.
~Mr. Schebler called for a motion to approve the January 26, 2022, meeting minutes. Mr. Coffey moved to approve; Mr. Gilmore seconded; All in favor.
Agenda Items
Mr. Schebler stated, he does not know if the Annual Report Renewal filing needs Board approval, but he would rather have approval and not need it instead of needing it and not having it. The DOMES annual filing is due May 1, 2022. There have been no changes and I am not proposing any changes unless the Board requests to update the roles of President or Secretary positions. These positions were submitted as an amendment for member update in November 2021. I am seeking the Boards approval to file the report without changes.
Discussion on Item I (DOMES Annual Report Renewal Filing)
~Mr. Schebler called for a motion to approve the filing of the DOMES Annual Report Renewal. Mr. Gilmore moved to approve; Mr. Baker seconded; All in favor.
Discussion on Item II (CEO/COO Report) ~ Planning Timetable / Decision Points
* The Contract was approved with Caldwell & Associates on February 10 th by the SRC Board.
Mr. Schebler stated the CEO/COO update will now be a standing agenda item. Mr. Schebler then shared he prepared a timeline going forward from now to the end of the year to show the DOMES board where we currently stand with events.
* Kick-off meeting last Thursday, February 17 th with Caldwell & Associates and MWL Architects. It was more of fact finding and we gave them a tour of our morgue facility and the current administrative space. We completed a standard set of questions they have around programming for design and a space needs assessment process.
* Additionally, we are providing them with historical records on the medical examiner caseloads, which is all publicly available on the Medical Examiner Commission website going back to 2001, it includes the number of cases referred, number of cases by jurisdiction and the number of cases we accepted under our jurisdiction and the number up decedents brought into the facility. This will allow Caldwell and MWL to do some forecasting as well.
* Spreadsheet will be provided in a couple of weeks, for review and editing to validate we are on track.
Guidance is needed on how and where the DOMES Board members want to plug-in and who will plug-in to the planning and programming discussions.
Mr. Coffey suggested briefing the DOMES Board regularly and the DOMES Board can share the information with the County Commissioner Boards, respectively.
Mr. Baker stated he thought the expectation was to engage each county and to meet with them, go over the data, get their needs and get the conceptual idea and come in and brief each county. He states he expressed Santa Rosa Counties concern was the cost and assuring an elaborate Taj Mahal is not built, but instead something functional and that meets the needs of the Medical Examiner. Mr. Baker stated he was asked about the land and responded once the square footage is provided along with a layout he would go back to the SRC Board with that information and discuss the land.
Mr. Schebler stated sometime in April we would like to present the 2022 State of the District address to all the respective county boards and administrators. The legislative session ends March 11, which means by April presentation DOMES should know if the requested funding is in the budget. However, we will not know until closer to June if the Governor will sign-off.
Mr. Coffey restated for clarity, the counties will put up the funding for the design plan and DOMES will look into financing options for the construction of the project.
Mr. Schebler confirmed Mr. Coffey's statement and added in addition, next year DOMES will ask the legislature to consider providing funding for the construction costs as well. Mr. Schebler stated the programming master plan and predesign deliverables are due April 7 th based upon 45 days from contract initiation date. April/ May is the timeline for the site discussion, and then in June the
consultants will be unable to move forward if a site has not been identified. Budget wise DOMES will be paying for design in the next budget year and then paying debt service in the following budget year.
The operating agreement calls for the DOMES budget to be submitted to the four Counties by the 1 st of June, if the DOMES board needs something earlier please let me know. Mr. Schebler stated he also needs to know what budget workshops the DOMES board members would like the ME office to attend.
Given the current funding and the contract timelines by July we need to have additional funding to start the Task Order to start the next phase of design development or to start construction documents. Mr. Schebler stated in March he would like to have Miller Caldwell speak with the DOMES Board about project delivery method, because what was in the RFQ that went out was construction manager at risk and there were concerns with this Board and some County Commissioners that design bid build might better option. The Santa Rosa County Courthouse was built using a progressive design build. There are tradeoffs for using either option and Miller Caldwell will present the pros and cons from a different perspective. Mr. Schebler stated that the DOMES board is aware of his position, that construction manager at risk is the way to go to; bring them on board and start early in the process in cost estimating and value engineering to identify ways to save money. Mr. Schebler went on to state his experience with the Santa Rosa County Courthouse and a progressive design build was positive. There were change orders involved, and there were costs from COVID and other things that could cause potential delay, but with all of that the project is being delivered with COVID and hurricane delays on schedule and slightly over budget due to construction material costs. Mr. Schebler stated that he is looking for funding withing existing monies including the refund for the planned software purchase and use it towards design planning along with the outstanding question on the additional funding/deposit that Escambia County made last fall. However, DOMES still owes Okaloosa County monies for IT support. Mr. Schebler asked Mr. Coffey to identify the exact amount owed to Okaloosa County so that payment could be made. Identifying funding this fiscal year will allow design development to start in the July/August timeframe. It was requested that each of the board members provide dates for the D1 MEO to present at the budget meetings for planning purposes.
Mr. Schebler went on to state, in the next couple of months, we should have the following discussions:
* Bringing the deliverable in April
* Project delivery
* Planning the 2022 State of the District Address
* Draft Interlocal Agreement will be sent to the DOMES Board members for discussion
* Decide if additional briefings are required for each of the four respective counties
* during the March 23, 2022 meeting with recommendation/approval by DOMES Board in April
* Draft budget in May
* May timeframe for adoption of the amended Interlocal Agreement by the BOCCs
* Site discussions will be had in April and May to continue with design development
Mr. Baker asked if a couple of options for site location could be presented. Mr. Schebler stated if DOMES can keep the design process moving construction documents will be complete close to the end of the year or the first part of next year and then about a 15 month construction build, which is ideally a facility built and ready to occupy in the Spring of 2024.
Mr. Baker stated there is available land west of Hwy 87 that has sewer capacity. He also stated there is a lot of interest in the industrial park complex on Hwy 87 for space and that there may be an option to look outside of the industrial park for land. On the west side of the river there is land with sewer but transmission capacity issues need to analyzed.
Mr. Schebler stated there are options that would still be City of Milton sewer or Sundial, perhaps a smaller plant that belongs to the City of Milton on the west side of the river at exit 26 and then exit 22 Avalon Blvd., which gets a little closer to Escambia County, but that location is a little further away from the interstate but Pace water services it and they have plenty of capacity. Mr. Baker added that at exit 26 a Loves Gas station is being built.
In conclusion, Mr. Schebler stated timing wise he is comfortable with where planning currently stands and he has spoken with a financial advisor, who is willing to come to a DOMES meeting or meet via Teams to give a presentation on financing options for DOMES.
~ Interlocal Agreement
1. Removing the Administrative Coordinator section
Mr. Schebler stated there are four areas of change in the Interlocal Agreement, which was provided to you all DOMES members via email:
2. Removing portions of Section 3 and Section 4. The section previously discussed is Section 4B, structure of the DOMES Board, adding a fifth board member: this member would be an appointed or an appointee of the Chief Medical Examiner. The Chief Medical Examiner is appointed by the Governor and nominated by the Medical Examiner Commission. Mr. Coffey and I had a conversation about the Chief Medical Examiner being on the board, but that complicates the day-to-day functions of the business with her and I being right next door to each other in the office and me working for her. This would not be a workable solution. We would request the board consider adding to the Interlocal Agreement having a fifth board member who would be appointed by the Chief Medical Examiner. This action would be similar to the way the DOMES Board is structured, each County has provided a representative to be on the Board, the Chief Medical Examiner would provide a representative to the DOMES Board. Having a fifth board member would allow the DOMES board to have a quorum of three vs. two members for a vote. This would be in the draft version of the Interlocal Agreement for further discussion and decision.
[x] Autopsy fee for the Department of Corrections
3. Add section related to fee schedule. This allows the DOMES Board and the Medical Examiner to adopt a fee schedule. The fee schedule would be used to charge the following:
[x] Public records requests fee
Including the fee schedule in the Interlocal Agreement allows the DOMES board to establish a fee schedule that can be approved by the DOMES board in a manner similar to ordinance vs. resolution used by the Counties
[x] Funeral home body storage fee (after so many days)
4. Section 3 – The District One Counties responsibilities would finding financing of the facility or identifying what surety language would be necessary for DOMES to be able to go out on the commercial market to obtain a loan
Mr. Coffey stated these changes would bring clarity to the roles and information present to the all the County Commissioners vs. what the DOMES board can approve.
Mr. Schebler stated, yes, this is exactly the feedback he is seeking.
Mr. Coffey will draft something for Section 3 to assist in outlining what information needs to be brought to the County Commissioner's for approval vs. the DOMES Board.
Mr. Baker suggested getting through the construction design plans and re-visit adding a fifth board member at a later date.
All parties agreed to revisiting adding a fifth member.
Discussion on Item III (Financial Report)
Mr. Schebler provided a copy of the updated finance report and stated that he is still working with the accountant to clean-up the books. Four bank accounts are reflected that are not assets that belong to DOMES. These accounts must be corrected properly by the books, to pursue a full financial audit of DOMES. The other item the accountants are working on because Santa Rosa County and the finance director there was the administrator, is getting the financial statement redesigned from a government looking financial statement to a non-profit looking financial statements.
Mr. Baker asked how does the budget request look?
Mr. Schebler replied, I would like to know how the DOMES Board would like to see it, I can show as little or as much detail as the Board would like, but I do not want to overwhelm the Board, or county budget directors or the BOCC's. In the past the budget was done by personnel operating and very rarely did the medical examiner ask for capital. Personnel, operating and capital, breaking down things into staff salaries, employee costs, and locum tenens is appropriate. Operating we have broken down into great detail, which I can roll-up if I need to.
Mr. Coffey asked, starting next fiscal year can we have a normal monthly draw/payment – counties provide 20% and then the remaining funding in equal monthly installments.
Mr. Schebler stated yes, he will consider that in the draft interlocal agreement. To Mr. Baker's questions, how are we doing this year? On the personnel side of matters, we have expended $1.2 million dollars out of $3.5 million dollars, so that is 34.6% and we are 33% of the way through the year, so a little bit above due to overages in the Locum Tenens fees. Those personnel costs are based upon staffing. We are currently still recruiting a fourth doctor and we have another candidate planning to do a site visit in the next month. On the operating side of things, we have expended $278,000.00 dollars year-to-date, which is 21% of the budgeted amount for operating expenses, however, that is because we have gotten the software credit back that we discussed during last meeting.
Mr. Coffey asked if that money could be put into a reserve account and see a line item that shows that money going into the account and moving out of the account. Mr. Schebler stated he would be happy to move the money to reserves and use it to fund the next design Task Order.
Mr. Schebler went on to share that Repair and Maintenance is higher than what was budgeted and is already exceeding 100% of the budget. This is due in part to issues inherited moving into a new building
that required electrical work and ethernet work among other things. Outside of these things items budget wise we are on track.
Discussion on Item IV (DOMES Other Business)
Future DOMES Meeting Protocol – there was a question asked at the last meeting and I would just like for this board to vote and provide a decision. A citizen that attended the last meeting requested that the DOMES meetings be live streamed, which is not required by the Sunshine Law. The board needs to provide direction on how the DOMES meetings will proceed. Depending on the decision the meeting dynamics would change, i.e., the locations of the meetings for livestream purposes, etc. Currently the meetings are being recorded via Teams Meeting in the event a public request is made for a copy of the meeting.
Mr. Coffey stated he would like for the 2022 State of the District presentation to be livestreamed but is ok with not livestreaming the regular monthly DOMES meetings. If the State of the District presentation becomes an annual meeting, of course it would be livestreamed annually.
All DOMES board members agreed that the regular monthly DOMES meetings will not be livestreamed and the meeting recordings are maintained in the event of a request.
Next DOMES Meeting Date – April 27, 2022 at 3:00pm.
Adjourned:
4:00pm
Next Steps:
* Mr. Coffey to draft language for Section 3 to add to the Interlocal Agreement regarding what information must be considered by the four respective County Commission Boards vs. the DOMES Board members for discussion at the March 23 rd meeting
* Mr. Schebler to provide draft Interlocal Agreement with changes discussed during today's meeting no later than March 11 th to the DOMES Board for review
* Mr. Schebler to consider the payments/draw being split 20% up front and then equal monthly installments after that and incorporating that in the interlocal.
* Move software money to the budget reserve line and show line item of money moving out of one account into the other.

3. Applicants are shortlisted by an employers' sub-committee of the National Executive Committee (NEC), consisting of 5 members of the NEC, including the Chair and Vice Chair nominated as employers rep to JNC.
4. Shortlisted applicants are interviewed by the employers' sub-committee to determine which of them would be able to meet Napo's requirements, thus producing a list of "electable" candidates. This list, together with a statement from each of the electable candidates, of no more than 500 words, is then sent to NEC co-reps and to branches/sections.
5. A meeting of the NEC will consider the list of electable candidates. Each of them shall be invited to attend that NEC where they will be asked pre-submitted questions. Each candidate will be asked the same questions and will then be given the opportunity to make a statement in support of their application for candidature. The NEC will then decide which (if any) candidate it wishes to nominate for election.
6. Four online hustings events will be arranged following the NEC, these will be Chaired by members of the National Officers Group and the arrangements will be supported by the relevant Link Official for the region group and by the Office Operations Manager for Cafcass. The hustings meetings will follow the same format for fairness:
Each candidate will make a speech for no more than 10 minutes. Following this the same questions (pre-submitted by members to the hustings Chair) will be put to each candidate with no more than 5 minutes allowed for each answer. For accessibility the hustings will continue for no more than 90 minutes.
The hustings will be as follows:
a. The North – Northumbria, Durham Tees Valley, East Coast, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire, Cheshire Greater Manchester and Merseyside branches.

Branches will have the benefit of a report from their NEC Representative who will have attended the NEC, reports from members who attended the hustings, and the candidates' own statements. Branches will then be able to nominate one of the electable candidates.
8. The final list of nominated candidates will be put to a postal ballot of all full members. In the event of there being only one nominated candidate that person will be elected unopposed without recourse to a ballot.

Cooksey receives Physician Sanctuary Award
ISU alum Dr. Jenalee Cooksey, general surgeon at IU
Health West Hospital, was honored with the hospital's Physician Sanctuary Award.
"The award
is meant to honor physicians who work to provide the best possible patient experience while working closely with fellow physicians and
team members," according to the hospital's Facebook post. "Dr.
Cooksey is recognized for regularly going the extra mile in patient
care or discharge. She is always happy to chat with fellow
physicians about patients or see a new consult, no matter how busy
her day has been."
One
nomination reads: "I wanted to recognize Dr. Cooksey for last
night. I had a patient who had a strangulated abdominal wall
hernia. They were not a surgical candidate at all. Dr. Cooksey
actually came into the hospital at 2:30 am to help me try to reduce
the hernia. It was above and beyond what I expected."
Cooksey
graduated from ISU in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Liberal
Studies and a chemistry minor. She was a recipient of the Rural Health
Scholarship.

HIGH-YIELD M METHODS
for customer-aligning b business s strategy, p process & technology
Redesigning Work for Tough Times: CRM Can Play a Crucial Role
Layoffs aren't coming. They're here. Look at eBay. Look at what's about to happen throughout the automotive sector – from manufacturing to dealer sales. Hey, looking for an investment banker job? And let's not forget retail. First stores will cut prices to postChristmas levels, and when that doesn't work, they'll slash staff.
Properly implementing CRM helps you identify which roles add value–and which don't
Not fun to talk about. But if you're a senior or even middle level manager in almost any sector, you, personally, might have to make some mighty tough decisions. Even some that break your heart. And CRM won't make staff reductions easier emotionally. However, properly implementing or upgrading CRM will identify where you can cut without damaging either customer relationships or company, while making staff reductions more objective and less arbitrary.
Bet you're thinking, "Lee has really lost his marbles this time."
I haven't, though. Remember the old bromide describing CRM: "people, process and technology?" While this trilogy manages to omit the most essential CRM step - aligning business strategies with customers - it correctly identifies process as an essential CRM element. Now, by "process" traditional CRMers mean sales, marketing and service process. However, the universe of functions where process directly or indirectly affects customer experience expands far beyond these three functions, which we term "the front office." In fact, front office staff usually occupies but a small space within the customer affecting universe.
But does CRM really have to mess with this expanded universe of functions? You betcha, it does. Otherwise, CRM badly underachieves.
CRM streamlines work
Potential-fulfilling CRM implementations carefully redesign all customer-affecting work to align with customer-centric business strategies. We're talking redesigning a whole lot of jobs here – involving a whole lot of payroll dollars, and streamlining this much work can substantially reduce personnel costs.
Streamlining? Where did that come from? Aren't we redesigning jobs to improve customer experience, not cut staffing costs? Yah sure, we are. But what if I told you that redesigning work to be customer-centric goes hand-in-hand with streamlining? More than a little counter-intuitive.
So let me resolve this seeming contradiction with a bit of history. HYM has been helping clients redesign work in customer-centric ways for some 15 years, and I can't think of a single instance of recommending a staff increase to improve customer experience. Quite the contrary, in virtually every case, redesigning work for customer benefit reduces necessary work by 10% to 15%. That's right, becoming customer-centric requires less staff, not more.
Now, these work reductions don't automatically lead to staff cuts. In fact, in normal times we encourage clients to apply excess personnel to covering attrition, staffing growth or initiating new, value-adding work. But these aren't normal times, and we're girding for an increasing number of situations where retaining excess staff has become economically unrealistic. Makes our work less fun when this happen, but helping clients stay alive to restaff another day does mitigate some of our angst.
Even if you now accept my premise that customer-centric work requires fewer people, bet you're still scratching your head over how and why. So I'll provide some examples.
Staffing with knowledgeable, empowered employees: Dealing with knowledgeable, empowered employees is at the top of almost every customer's wish list. But it should also be at the top of company wish lists. Knowledgeable employees don't constantly drag supervisors or peers into situations they should be able to handle themselves. And empowered employees don't have to constantly get approval from supervisors. Add the two together and a whole layer of supervision can be reduced by half, two-thirds, and
sometimes eliminated altogether. Great for contact centers. Also great in back office settings where supervisors often get paid good money to tell undertrained staff members how to do their jobs, or make sure they do things right.
Intelligently applying office automation tools: A good CRM implementation involves much more technology-wise than CRM software. For example, a recent client had to scan a substantial amount of documentation for regulatory reasons. So staff members passed bundles of documentation from function to function to function, sometimes from the field to HQ and back – then scanned these docs to archive them. Easy fix. Scan all the paper when it first enters the system, then move digital files wherever they need to go. Simple way to lower hours required to handle paper, not to mention time spent looking for missing pieces – all the while shortening cycle times to improve member experience.
Another example of using not office automation is B2B companies manually assembling long and complex bids and proposals. Tools that will index contents, cascade changes (such as an item price changes) throughout the document, store legal and regulatory boilerplate and provide quick access to text in similar documents are readily available. Using these tools can reduce bid/proposal development time by 50% or more. But a recent client of ours that produces bids hundreds of pages long requiring countless revisions was still working manually. The employee time invested in getting each proposal out the door was off the map. And we all cringed when a prospective client called them asking which price to use – the stated total bid amount or the sum of the elements, which was hundreds of thousands of dollars higher. Someone had changed a price in one place but couldn't (or didn't) find all the remaining instances. Not only do companies optimally using office automation reduce labor requirements, but they gain from reducing the quantity and impact of work defects.
Eliminating excess risk mitigation: I can't tell you how many clients we've encountered with torturous new customer credit approval processes in markets where unpaid invoices are uncommon. Why call credit references supplied when only an idiot would use references that would not say good things? Why pass credit applications through three sets of hands to get to an overstuffed file cabinet where no one can find anything. Why do "rubber stamp reviews?" The average company puts about twice the time into approving credit apps that's necessary and prudent.
Not recovering every last cent of cost on every invoice: We had a client that used variable pricing based on constantly variable commodities markets. The extra hours required to invoice versus using price averaging that changed only in cases of wide variances ate up any potential cost recovery gains many times over – not to mention irritating the hell out of customers, who couldn't rely on quotes. This nickel-dime mentality manifested itself all over the organization – to the point that I included a slide in a COO presentation saying, "You guys are spending millions to save pennies." Fortunately, he got it. The next day photo-copies of the slide were plastered all over the executive suite. Oh, and based on work redesign, this company was able to cut its 2,000 person sales and service staff down to 1,200.
Relying less on "push" internal communication: How do companies disseminate policy changes, process changes, important announcements and alerts? Via e-mail, of course. Now, how much time does sifting through e-mail consume for the average employee? Let's just say it's lots and lots and lots of time. On top of which, many important messages that affect both company and customer wind up in digital trash bins, unread. How do we redesign information flow to address this issue? By posting information on a well-designed, well-partitioned, central intranet site where everyone can quickly navigate to everything they need to know. Will they go there? Yes, if you pop a summary, "What's New?" first page on everyone's computer complete with links to full messages. A quick scan tells folks if anything needs their attention, cutting waste time sifting through communications to the bone. And we're talking mega hours here.
I could go on forever in this vein, but I won't.
Reducing FTE requirements
By redesigning work to improve customer experience, most companies can reduce FTE counts in customer-affecting functions by 10% to 15% Some even more. And they can apply the same office process design techniques to reduce staffing requirements throughout their office environs, in places including HR, order-to-cash, purchasing, accounting, etc. That's a fact. But the bigger issue is, "Will they?"

Project Clients' Message Same For First Lady
BY JOHN ERARDI
Enquirer Reporter
MOUNT REPOSE—Even under normal circumstances, Step 4 is one of the most difficult.
Step 4, one of the seven steps in Straight's guide to overcoming drug abuse, reads:
Admit to God, myself and another human being the exact nature of my wrongs.
The message was clear for many of the teenagers who made Step 4 so tough Monday night.
It was the "another human being":
Nancy Reagan and her traveling retinue of attaches and Secret Service agents, and 30 people carrying cameras, tape recorders and notebooks.
It made for some sweater palms and some drier throats among the confessors, but their message was the same as on any other Monday night.
LIKE MANY of their peers, they drank and smoked pot. But they'd smoked more, drank more, and advanced to other drugs such as Quaaludes, acid and opium.
Like their peers, they fought with their parents, got depressed, got into trouble.
But they'd done it more often, and more seriously—many contemplated suicide, some tried it. Some were arrested for drug possession, many had run away from home.
A show-of-hands roll call by the 140-some teenagers indicated almost all were on drugs at least for six months.
They were high in school, high at the supper table. Almost all said they shoplifted at one time or another to raise money for their habit.
Most of the boys said they carried weapons sometimes, some committed breaking and enterings.
MANY SMOKED pot and did other drugs when babysitting. A dozen raised to hands to say they even got children they were babysitting high.
Even under normal circumstances—a gathering of some classmates, parents and staff—confessions such as these can be wrenching.
But when TV cameras and tape recorders are recording your every word and the First Lady sits transfixed by it all, the experience is even tougher.
But the teenagers persevered.
Because in Straight's Seven Steps—which hang like commandments on the wall of the meeting room, at their Clermont County School, here were some of the experiences they recounted for Mrs. Reagan, the media and an extra-large audience of parents and staff.
SHANNON, A teen-aged boy, has been in the program for 7 days and on drugs for six or seven years. He'd done mushrooms, cocaine, and opium, among others.
"I even stole money off my mom and dad so I could keep doing drugs."
MATT, a high schooler, has done, pot, speed, opium, hashish, acid, "anything I could get my hands on."
He'd been doing drugs for 4 years, and in the program for seven days.
He said he wanted to get closer to his family now, and "get back on the right track."
SOME TOLD of experiences with "drugs" outside the mainstream.
Paul couldn't get his hands on booze or pot at boarding school, so he tried paint-thinner, "even antiperspirant because I thought I might be able to get high on that."
Cheryl said when she ran out of money for conventional drugs, she began rummaging through her grandmother's shoebox full of prescription pills.
"I read the labels and just started popping anything that I thought I'd heard of or thought might work."

"GOOD bread is the most fundamen tally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts." ~ James Beard
Perfect for toast at breakfast time, for school lunches, dunked in soup or even at supper time to soak up all those lekker sousies.
Oh, the goodness of bread. It's a staple in many of our homes and no day is complete with out having at least one slice.
Made with the simplest ingredients of flour, water and salt, one loaf of bread can go so far and feed so many.
BY FARZANA KUMANDAN
Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods, with Egyp tians being believed to have been the first to use yeast to leaven the dough.
There's something about the smell of freshly baked bread or even a lekker warm toasty slice with but ter that just hits the spot.
Bread is usually made from wheat, but can be also made from other cereals, including rye, barley, oats, maize, rice, millet and sor ghum.
It is also one of the most versatile of food items as you can enjoy it as is, but you can add so many differ ent toppings on it as well.
Sharing
From leftovers to peanut butter, cold meats, cheese, jam or just even beans on toast, bread makes everything lekker!
World Bread Day, initi ated by the International Union of Bakers and Con fectioners (UIBC), is an international observance celebrated on October 16 every year and dedicated to a staple food that has been of importance around the world since the dawn of agriculture.

They have included rec ipes with a local twist for you to enjoy, however if you prefer a wider selec tion of ready-made artisan bakes, head on over to @ backstube_artisanbread creations for more.

The Obligation of Communion
John Wilkinson Third Presbyterian Church October 2, 2016 (World Communion Sunday) 2 Timothy 1:1-14 and Luke 17:5-10
In 1996, when the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) convened down the Thruway in Syracuse, I was given the task of overseeing a pre-assembly conference. We lined up great speakers, and we also sought strong worship leadership for the event. We called John Cairns, who would later become my predecessor here. He agreed to help out but also suggested that we would be well-served, and more than well-served, if the church's organist and director of music could also be recruited.
It was then that I learned what a fine musician Peter DuBois was, with a deep liturgical and theological sensitivity. What I didn't learn until later was what a strong spiritual leader and extraordinary colleague he was, what a good family man, teacher, friend, and, much later, an excellent DJ! Not to mention a tolerable Michigan fan!!
Today we mark Peter's 25 th anniversary at Third Church. It is quite a milestone, for him, and, thankfully, for us. I could say so much more, but what I will simply say on behalf of your colleagues and this community of faith, Peter, is thank you, thank you and blessings…
All are invited to a reception in the Celebration Center following this service, where you may greet Peter and family. Now we pondered what we might do to mark this occasion, and I can report with some glee that thanks to the creative prowess of Jeanne Fisher, and the cunning and generosity of the Chancel Choir, we will in fact NOT be singing the final hymn as it is printed in the bulletin. Sorry, Peter, though I enjoyed hearing you rehearse it yesterday. Rather, as our final hymn we will sing a new hymn, called "Lord, Through Music Hear Us Praying," set to one of Peter's favorite hymn tunes, called "Michael," with a wonderful new commissioned text by the noted hymn writer Thomas Troeger. Peter, Caroline will play. Everybody else in the house has a copy. Now you do as well. You sing, and listen, and receive in a musical way our deep appreciation. Then we can eat cake!
***
Our household was faced with a decision Monday night. Perhaps you were too. To watch the debate or not watch the debate. That was the question. You get what I am saying, I am quite sure. In the end we watched.
1
There are things you do. If you are a parent, you wipe noses and change diapers and drive to endless rehearsals and practices. If you are a musician, you play scale after scale after scale. If you are a garbage collector, you get up every morning, rain or shine, hot or cold, regardless of the deep ache in your bones. If you are a teacher, you grade papers.
If you are a citizen, you engage. You inform yourself. You watch the debates. Then you vote. Regardless, it is what you do. It is your obligation.
We live in an interesting time when obligation seems to be a wrestled-with concept. We don't like to be told what to do, by anyone, for any reason. And yet we know, do we not, for a team to play well, it must practice. For a restaurant to be successful, the dishes must be washed. For a democracy to live up to its potential, its vision, its citizens must embrace their obligations.
What about the obligations of our faith? That's an even more interesting question in 2016. As much as everything is shifting rapidly, religion is as well, including our version of it. In earlier eras we spoke of the obligation to attend worship, or give, or volunteer, driven by a combination of guilt and habit and cultural expectation and who knows what else.
Now all that is up for grabs, which is not all bad. Because still that word is out there, obligation, but we are now liberated from the constriction of cultural expectation. Now obligation has been re-framed and re-calibrated. What is ours? What is the mandate, we who follow Jesus, to behave in certain ways, not any more because some authority or convention tells us to, but because our gut tells us to, our spirit, our deep sense of calling?
Today is one of my favorite Sundays in the year. Since the 1930's, and started by Presbyterians, much of the Christian world has observed something called World Communion Sunday. Not only do I love what it stands for, people all over the world, breaking bread, sharing a cup, a symbolic sign of the unity we discover at Christ's table…not only do I love what it stands for, I appreciate what it obligates us to do, commands and compels us to do.
At its best, the church is the great leveler, where there is, as the Bible says, no Jew or Greek, no male or female, no slave or free – and by extension we would say no gay or straight, no liberal or conservative, no rich or poor, no black or brown or white, with the broadest spectrum imaginable of physical and metal capacities, where all lives matter only when every life matters.
As the church is the great leveler, this communion table is the great symbol of that reality. All have a place, everyone born, and when we sit down, all are at the same height and all receive the same bread and the same cup. All. That is our gift, and that is our obligation.
Karl Barth said that faith was about living with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other. We could say that faith is about watching the debate with one eye and this table with
the other, to see how our primary obligation, faith, is lived out in the context of every other obligation – as neighbor, as friend, as family member, as citizen.
How are we doing? Listen again to what the Apostle Paul writes in the letter called II Timothy. He speaks about his own clear conscience, a product of the promise of life that he experiences through Christ Jesus. Then he acknowledges Timothy's own spiritual journey, Timothy's tears, his sincerity, the witness of his grandmother and mother, their faithfulness. But something is wrong. The disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith. Timothy seeks the same. The flame of his faith is fading. We do not know why. Perhaps it is doubt, or fear, or confusion, or perceived failure. But faith can fade, Timothy's and ours. Mine has, and does, and will. Faith fades.
Paul does not condemn, but rather encourages. Let the gift of God that is in you be rekindled. If you seek to renew your faith, the spirit of God's love and power will sustain you. This is where the obligation comes in, in Paul's reminder to Timothy of Paul's own imprisonment for the faith. Faith is not always a walk in the park, nor a bundle of warm feelings. This obligation can produce suffering, then and now. But this is a holy calling, infused with grace, infused with light and life. We have been given a gift, Paul writes, a good treasure. We are to be stewards of it. That is our obligation, never easy, never easy, always rewarding.
In his book called Reconciliation: Restoring Justice, South African theologian John De Gruchy writes that "the sacraments connect Christian doctrine and social ethics at a primary level of expression." (Page 96) In the season of apartheid in South Africa, De Gruchy writes, communion became a sign of division and a source of abuse. In the post-apartheid world, the sacrament can become what it truly always was, a means of grace for healing and transformation, for creating community, a sacrament of reconciliation.
"The significance of the table," De Gruchy writes, "as the space around which the new community meets and is formed is also a sign of the reconciliation God wills for society as a whole. It points beyond the liturgy of the 'upper room' to the family meal, the sharing of goods with the poor, and the round table of political negotiation… (Communion) is not only a sharing in the 'breaking of bread' but a commitment to share our lives and goods with those in need, that is to become 'bread for the world.' "(Page 99)
That is an extraordinary affirmation to me. At any communion moment, and punctuated profoundly on World Communion Sunday, when the bread is broken and the cup is poured and we partake, not only do we confirm that our relationship with God has been restored, but we commit and re-commit to the restoration of every human relationship. This is "bread for the world" and not simply bread for our souls or bread for the church.
Croatian theologian Miroslav Volf writes that "Inscribed on the very heart of God's grace is the rule that we can be its recipients only if we do not resist being made into its agents; what
happens to us (at communion) must be done by us. Having been embraced by God, we must make space for others in ourselves and invite them in – even our enemies. That is what we enact when we celebrate (communion)…we celebrate the giving of the self to the other and the receiving of the other into the self." (Pages 129-130)
It is a profound and faithful and beautiful move, to link South Africa, and Croatia, and Rochester, with what happens here, at this table. That is the obligation of communion, the joyful, demanding obligation of communion.
It would be easier not to do the things this table compels us to do – to retreat into private faith, to accept what is, to not say or do the right thing, to spiritualize away the bread and cup.
On this World Communion Sunday, we remember a prayer from the Eastern Orthodox Church, a portion of the communion prayer: "This is the day of resurrection. Let us be illumined by the feast. Let us embrace each other. Let us call 'brothers' (and Sisters) even those that hate us, and forgive all by the resurrection." (Volf, page 130)
Communion as both cosmic restoration and political reconciliation. So much riding on a little morsel of bread and a few drops from a cup. Amen.

Dear Parent
Muscliff Primary School: Ofsted's interim assessment
131548
I am pleased to provide some important information about Muscliff Primary School.
As you may know, during its last inspection in February 2008, Ofsted inspectors judged your child's school to be outstanding. The 2011 Education Bill proposes that, from January 2012, schools that were previously judged to be outstanding will not be subject to routine inspection unless concerns are raised about their performance.
To help decide whether we need to inspect an outstanding school, Her Majesty's Inspectors look at various sources of information, as listed below. This is called an 'interim assessment.'
The results of the interim assessment
In carrying out the interim assessment, we considered the following:
pupils' academic performance
any inspection visits carried out by Ofsted since the last routine inspection
pupils' attendance
qualifying complaints 1 about the school by parents or carers
any other significant concerns brought to Ofsted's attention.
I am pleased to inform you that our interim assessment indicates performance has been sustained and that we will not be inspecting your school unless we receive further information that raises concerns. We will continue to undertake annual assessments of the school's performance.
1 Ofsted has specific powers (under section 11A-C of the Education Act 2005, as amended) to investigate certain complaints, known as qualifying complaints.
T 0300 123 1231 [email protected] www.ofsted.gov.uk
I wish everyone involved in the school continued success in the future.
Yours sincerely
Christine Gilbert

Dear Mr and Mrs Moindrot,
Thank you for contacting us following your honeymoon in Mexico. And congratulations on your recent wedding.
I’m sorry to hear that as a result of the Riu Playacar not meeting your expectations, you chose to move to the Riu Palace Mexico. But I am pleased to hear that once settled into the Riu Palace, you enjoyed the rest of your time away.
I understand that you’re confused about the cancellation charge you incurred when you transferred hotels. I can appreciate that this would’ve been an additional cost that you weren’t anticipating and I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may’ve caused.
When any of our guests are looking to change their accommodation, we will contact the hotels on your behalf to arrange your new booking. The charges incurred for cancelling your original accommodation are at the discretion of the hotelier. And we would usually advise you to raise any concerns with regards to these charges whilst in resort, either with the hotelier or with your Holiday Advisor.
With the above in mind, I’m afraid I won’t be meeting your request for a refund of the cancellation charges incurred. But I do hope that despite any frustration caused by this, you won’t be deterred from considering Thomson again when making future travel plans.
Once again, thank you for getting in touch.
Yours sincerely,
Hayley Matcham

KRA Meeting Minutes
February 13, 2014
At 7:00 pm, the opening prayer, led by ______________ was follow by the flag salute, led by Jim Hudson, the oldest veteran present. Jim Hudson included a short, but interesting, WW-II anecdotal account pertaining to the US flag that gave heartrending meaning to what otherwise would have been a routine flag salute.
The January meeting minutes, and the current Treasurer's Report were each approved as printed, both by a unanimous vote of all members present. Including members and guests, a total of 48 people attended the meeting.
William "Bill" Gale III, the newly appointed Regional Director of DCF, (Department if Children and Families) gave a talk on the various functions of the Kansas DCF, possible future changes in DCF policy and procedures, and on the general issue of Kansas Children in need of care.
Typical of Bill Gale's style, when it came to the question and answer time, he did a lot more listening and note-taking than he did talking.
Among the members present was newly retired Cindie Bennett, whose career included many years as an SRS Caseworker, (SRS is the old name for DCF, Social and Rehabilitative Services). Cindie was able to act as an information resource at the meeting, giving the caseworker perspective on various scenarios and hypothetical cases that were discussed.
A highly productive moment in the meeting occurred when James Hodges recommended that the DCF institute a policy of distributing a survey to the people who encounter the DCF, with questions relating to fair treatment and professionalism on the part of the caseworkers. This suggestion sounds so simple and obvious, yet it has never been done before, at least not in our district.
Many of the questions and comments included emotionpacked and tragic accounts of family separations and problems. Bill Gale was able to convince most if not all people present, that he: (1) was willing to listen to the problems of the past that may still be occurring today, (2) cared about the well-being of children and the entire family, and (3) would work to do all within his power and authority to make corrections and policy changes where necessary.
At the end of the meeting, which went over-time to about 8:30 pm (without a single person leaving early) Bill Gale asked for one year to make corrections, and to study the system and to make improvements. He asked to be able to come back and to finish the discussion one year from now. KRA President Mark Gietzen immediately took the opportunity to confirm Bill Gale as our speaker for the February 2015 KRA meeting.

World Conference on Women and Sport in Kumomoto, Japan
WomenSport International played a key role in the 4th World Conference on Women and Sport which took place in Kumamoto, Japan from 11-14 May 2006 under the auspices of the International Working Group on Women and Sport (IWG). WSI President Kari Fasting was part of the Conference Planning Sub group and led a workshop on sexual harassment while WSI Executive Board member Johanna Vescio was installed as the new IWG Co-Chair for 20062010.
The conference theme was "Participating in Change". Over 700 participants from nearly 100 countries including representatives from National Olympic Committees, International Sporting Federations, United Nations, non-government organisations as well as senior government officials, academics and athletes attended the conference. The legacy of the conference was The Kumamoto Commitment to Collaboration. In contrast to previous IWG conferences this was not a written statement such as, for example, the Brighton Declaration, but a visual display of Asian characters. When Etsuko Ogasawara, IWG Co-Chair, unveiled the artwork during the closing ceremony the audience was mesmerised. View the Kumamoto Commitment to Collaboration on www.iwg-gti.org/pdfs/kumamotocommitment.pdf (pdf, 198 KB)
A unique feature of the conference was the involvement of the city of Kumamoto. Welcome signs throughout the city and a special "Welcome Street" greeted the conference participants. Kumamoto citizens, core of the 700 volunteers involved in the conference, invited participants into their homes, schools and musea. They also organised a wonderful reception at Kumamoto Castle with local Japanese cuisine, drummers and folk dance. Seishi Kohyama, Mayor of Kumamoto, took an active part in the conference itself by not only speaking at the opening ceremony but also attending all keynote sessions and some workshops.
The significance of the conference was highlighted by the presence of Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado at the Opening Ceremony and the two keynote presentations. She mentioned that sport enriches our lives in many ways, however, there is still much left to be done to improve the environment surrounding women and sport.
Carolyn Hannan, Director of the Division for the Advancement of Women at the United Nations, delivered the opening keynote "Challenging the Gender Order". In the second keynote Lydia La Riviera – Zijdel, International Consultant in Gender and Diversity, the Netherlands, presented her view on the theme "Participating in Change".
Audience during a plenary session
The plenary sessions were followed by twelve workshops on a range of cutting edge topics such as:
* Marketing women and sport in the new media
* Growing up global: Empowering girls through the world of sport
* Sport as a tool for peace and development
* Addressing HIV/AIDS through sport
* Changing the culture of leadership in sport
* Creating a sport culture free of sexual harassment and abuse
* Ethical issues for women and sport
View recommendations from these workshops on www.iwg-gti.org/e/archives/034Workshops.htm
WSI was visible during the conference in many ways. Kari Fasting, WSI President, led the workshop "Creating a sport culture free of sexual harassment and abuse" while Chris Shelton, WSI Board member, chaired the workshop "Changing the culture of leadership in sport". WSI member Celia Brackenridge was on the plenary panel which discussed how to bring about cultural change. Anita White, another WSI member, played a prominent role as the conference program coordinator and introducing all plenary sessions.
Further, WSI presented a poster during the Knowledge Exchange – Poster Fair which attracted much attention and provided a good opportunity to inform conference participants about our work.
Ani Chroni, WSI Board member, also presented a poster about her research with Kari Fasting and Nada Knorre on experiences of Greek, Norwegian and Czech female sport students.
During the Closing Ceremony a wonderful performance by a didgeridoo player (the didgeridoo is a traditional Australian Aboriginal instrument) set the scene for the transition from Japan to Australia. This was followed by Etsuko Ogasawara handing over the IWG flag to Johanna Vescio, WSI Board member and the new IWG Co-Chair 2006-2010. Johanna warmly invited all participants to gather again for the next World Conference on Women and Sport in Sydney in 2010.

**Highlights**
- Two full days in Glacier Bay National Park
- Tidewater glaciers: Margerie, Grand Pacific, and the twin Sawyers

This route runs on two ships: the *Wilderness Discoverer* and *Wilderness Adventurer*. The Wilderness Adventurer will run in the opposite direction.
INCLUSIONS

• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner onboard

Juneau
Arriving in Juneau, you will be transferred from the airport to our hospitality area. Upon boarding, your crew greets you with champagne and smiles. Set sail for a week of scenic channels and secluded wilderness.
Overnight stay onboard the Wilderness Discoverer
Dinner
Icy Strait & Neka Bay
Kick-start the morning with on-deck yoga stretches and a strong cup of coffee. Energized and snug in your kayak, glide around in remote bays off Icy Strait through giant bullwhip kelp that can grow to over 100 feet long. Join the gang in a skiff to a rocky outcropping to watch sea lions play. Or step into mud boots for a forest hike with your top-notch, naturalist guides who have plenty to share about everything Alaska—marine biology, plants, and even geology. On board, soak it all in as you soak in the hot tub.
Overnight stay onboard the Wilderness Discoverer
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Glacier Bay National Park
This crown jewel of America’s national parks covers 3.3 million acres (that’s a tad smaller than the state of Connecticut). Let that sink in. Most visitors see the same silver of the park as everyone else. Not you. You’re going the furthest and exploring
parts that 99% of visitors never go to. And you have two days to do it. Get started! Taylor Bay sea stacks and rocky shores make for good adventure. Or hike the outwash field of glaciers winding down the Fairweather Mountain Range. The cool breeze off the nearby snow and icefields is energizing. If you motor over to Dundas Bay, keep your eye out for bears, humpbacks, and if you’re lucky, a wolf sighting. Kayak the bay. Bushwhack into the forest. Discover Glacier Bay.
Overnight stay onboard the **Wilderness Discoverer**
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

**Day 4**
Glacier Bay National Park
Your camera’s memory card needs plenty of room. South Marble Island is abuzz with activity. Rare sea birds, black oystercatchers, and orange-beaked tufted puffins can’t be missed. A colony of raucous sea lions adds to the hubbub. They add a distinct aroma to the air, too. Tucking into silent Tidal Inlet—the stomping grounds for bears, wolves, mountain goats, eagles—the backdrop is spectacular. At the end of the western-most arm of the bay sits Margerie and Grand Pacific Glaciers. And possible views of glacial calving. Take it all in on deck.
Overnight stay onboard the **Wilderness Discoverer**
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Chichagof Island
Kick off the morn with on-deck yoga stretches (your guides love it when you join them). Meander through glacier-carved fjords along the Chichagof coast. Then stop. It’s a prime time to lower the kayaks and skiffs. Camera in hand, set off on land and sea explorations. Closer inspection by skiff, moss-dripping trees run right down to the water. Any bears in there? With one of the world’s largest populations of bears, it’s possible. Go searching for giant trees and tidal pools. Hiking in the Tongass, it won’t take long to find them. Your eagle-eyed guides lead the pack—and pull up the rear.
Overnight stay onboard the **Wilderness Discoverer**
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Frederick Sound
Humpbacks beeline it here each season to feed on krill, zooplankton, and herring. Watch for whales feasting in these abundant glacial waters. Hang out and enjoy the show. Based on wind and weather, your expedition team has the lineup of
adventures all mapped out. Cruise past Five Fingers Lighthouse, Alaska’s oldest light station and The Brothers Islands, where sea lions nap on rocky nobs. Paddle into the deeps of Port Houghton or Windham Bay or head ashore for a hike. Somewhere nearby, carrot-billed black oystercatchers are saying hello. Tonight, toast another big day in Alaska.
Overnight stay onboard the **Wilderness Discoverer**
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
---
**Tracy Arm & Sawyer Glaciers**
Take an early peek out your window. Fjord cliffs reach skyward. Floating ice. And deep u-shaped valleys. There’s no abracadabra here. Mother Nature’s magic is real. Cruise past harbor seals and their pups lounging on chunks of ice. In classic fjord form, Tracy Arm delivers with the cotton candy blue Twin Sawyers glacier of its furthest reaches. Tides permitting, your skiff driver knows the ropes and guides you along. It’s a mashup of towering walls, temperamental currents, and the Coastal Mountains. So many waterfalls. Mountain goats show off fancy foot work on the cliffs. Look for them. Your captain joins you tonight for a Farewell Dinner. Celebrate and reminisce about your Alaskan journey with a “photo journal” by your crew.
Overnight stay onboard the **Wilderness Discoverer**
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Enjoy fresh baked pastries over one last breakfast. Your crew and new friends wish heartfelt goodbyes. This morning, transfer to the Juneau airport or begin your hotel stay or land tour.

Inherent in Judaism is a vision of well-being grounded in 'engagement with life; the importance of community, and a belief that sacred texts and rituals can be relevant to modern dilemmas' (National Centre for Jewish Healing 2009). Judaism recognises the connection between care of the soul and care of the body. Jewish discourse on health and healing draws on deeply rooted wisdom that has evolved for over 3500 years with much to say about illness and wellness and their interconnections with body, mind, and spirit.
The definitions of Judaism encompass religion, culture, national identity, the community and the individual. Re-emerging interest in health and healing, coupled with the increase of religion and health research, presents an opportunity for related scholarships. Research has affirmed that communal religious participation and private spiritual devotion are beneficial influences on the health of people and populations regardless of one's faith tradition (Levin, 2001). There is thus good reason to believe that what is true in this regard for religion, generally, is true for Judaism.

The mystery of Christ casts light on every facet of Catholic health care: to see Christian love as the animating principle of health care; to see healing and compassion as a continuation of Christ's mission; to see suffering as a participation in the redemptive power of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection; and to see death, transformed by the resurrection, as an opportunity for a final act of communion with Christ.
In faithful imitation of Jesus Christ, the Church has served the sick, suffering, and dying in various ways throughout history. The zealous service of individuals and communities has provided shelter for the traveller; infirmaries for the sick; and homes for children, adults, and the elderly.
While many religious communities continue their commitment to the health care ministry, lay Catholics increasingly have stepped forward to collaborate in this ministry. Inspired by the example of Christ and mandated by the Second Vatican Council, lay faithful are invited to a broader and more intense field of ministries than in the past.
By virtue of their Baptism, lay faithful are called to participate actively in the Church's life and mission. Their participation and leadership in the health care ministry, through new forms of sponsorship and governance of institutional Catholic health care, are essential for the Church to continue her ministry of healing and compassion.

There are no specific codes for medical treatment of physical illnesses in the Qur'an. In Islamic tradition the difference between health and illness was, and still is, perceived as balance and imbalance. Muslims have historically sought the Qur'an as a healing source in times of psychological and spiritual distress. When experiencing physical illness, Muslims have also been open to the rituals and medicinal practices of different traditions, including those of non-Muslims. The following sayings of the Prophet are used to encourage patients to seek proper treatments in time of illness:
* 'There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its remedy.'
* 'The Prophet not only instructed sick people to take medicine, but he himself invited expert physicians for this purpose.'
* 'Taking proper care of one's health is the right of the body.'
Historically, there has been a close relationship between religion and medicine and its practices. Muslims have been open to accept, use and improve non-Muslim as well as pre-Islamic healing rituals. They have adopted and improvised many practices such as home-made herbal and medicinal tonics, dietary restrictions, and amulets to ward off bad spirits. During the pre-modern era, Islamic medical and other sciences leaned heavily upon local medical practices, as well as on works translated from Greek. These influences resulted in the further advancement of medical sciences, especially in the 11th and 12th century.

ABSTRACT: This paper has discussed the problem proposed about multiple stroke of high-speed landslides and its multiple strokes, change of energy, and overstepping gas billows spattered with mud.
INTRODUCTION
This paper for the first time puts forward the problem of multiple-stroke and high-speed landslides in bedrock, and the problem of overstepping gas billows spattered with mud and made theoretical discussion about them so that much attention should be paid to protected slope environments from the point of view of engineering geology and to improving its quality to prove landslides in theory and take appropriate measures for prevention and management.
PROBLEM PROPOSED IN THIS PAPER
Leng-shui-gou, Shi-jia-po landslide in Sang-suw-an village in Ning-giang county is a typical one first proposed with multiple-stroke, intensively-moving and high-speed. Shi-jia-po multiple-stroke, intensively-moving and high-speed landslide lies on the left bank (Shi-jia-po) of Leng-shui-gou branch of upper reaches of JIANG HAN River. The place near Leng-shui-gou is very dangerous. At about 10 o'clock at that night, on 23, August, 1951, rock soil of bulk 480,000 m$^3$ in all on the left bank of the slope rapidly and intensively dived and slid down from the elevation of 925 m., accompanied by boom and great noise, suddenly stopping up rivers. And the body slide under enormous impulsive forces crossed the valley floor in length if 50-100 m., and upthrusted valley slope on the right bank, lifting up the 40m.. What is more, in the front part of the landslide took place the secondary slide bed plane which dived and slid down from the elevation of 40m. to the opposite direction and after turning to the former left bank, upthrusted lifting up to 20m.. From here, it mixed with large amount of stream water and rains, continuously made up three moving strokes in the form of fluids from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left, and stopped in the regious Shan-tand-su and Long-wang-miao. The whole course is about 1,060m. long, which spent less than 10 minutes sliding. It is emphasized that damages made by Shi-jia-po multiple-stroke landslide is rare in our country. At the left bank of downstream which is 600 m. away from the starting place landslides overturned a mountain to a farmer household in the village Qing-gang-su-wan and thirteen farmers were died of sliding fluids and no one is alive.

MULTIPLE STROKES
High-speed landslides in the southern part of Shanxi Province have been well known for a long time. However, Shi-jia-po landslide is a typical and multiple-stroke and high-speed landslide. From the beginning of sliding, in a matter of several minutes, there appear five grades of strokes in the whole sliding course as long as 1,060 m., each having more or less double strokes—"dive" and "upthrust", that, a pair of strokes which dive from higher places to lower and then from lower to higher.
The first two strokes are typical sliding ones of body slides while the last three strokes are moving ones appeared under particular conditions of that time (Fig. 1, 2).
The first grade stroke (A) of Shi-jia-po landslide—Shi-jia-po—begins from the left bank of Lengsu-gou river in Shi-jia-po where landslides take place (Table 1). This grade stroke is the consequent sliding stroke of front dive and upthrust. The secondary grade stroke (B) of Shi-jia-po landslide—Shui-jing-wan stroke—occurs upon the front slope bodies (sliding tuquer) of the former stroke of landslides. This is a special and interesting problem about motive forces of landslides. This grade stroke is a contrary sliding stroke of reverse dive and upthrust.
The third grade stroke (C) of Shi-jia-po—Tongguan-wan stroke—also happens on the front edge of sliding bodies of the former stroke, but this stroke is different from the former stroke in features of motive forces and changed greatly. After Shi-jia-po landslides, there appear one month's rainy, heavy flood so the level of river bed rises high enough to make larger discharge. In the first grade stroke, because its front edge (sliding tuquer) is mixed with large amount of rains and water of river, sliding bodies having fragments in a moist saturated state and mixed with sticky soil further disintegrate and break out. This stroke is a turned and consequent moving stroke of dive and upthrust.
The fourth grade stroke (D) of Shi-jia-po landslide is a Shan-tang-su stroke. This stroke is also a turned and consequent moving stroke of dive and upthrust.
The last—the fifth—stroke (E) of Shi-jia-po landslide is a Long-wang-miao stroke near Shantang-su village, the characters of which are similar to those of the former. In this case, Shi-jia-po multiple-stroke landslide has finished its activities if five grades of strokes in all. It may take several minutes to finish the whole process of sliding.

CHANGES OF ENERGY
Changes of energy in multiple-stroke landslides should be studied from a complete stroke (dive, upthrust). For this reason, first, a typical energy system of multiple-stroke landslides must be chosen (Fig. 3) -- just as "ABCD" system. It must be stated that it is difficult in proving clearly, generally such a complex theory in practice without some supposition, imagination and simplification providing that this may not affect changes of energy studied in this paper. Therefore about forms of the slide bed plane on the landslide profile introduced in the paper we will not discuss.
This is not significant for the problem discussed in the paper. There only according to the lines of basic slide bed planes \((A_1B_1C_1D_1)\) which are existing in Shi-jia-po multiple-stroke landslide and their developing characters, slide bed plane may be properly repaired and simplified. So they are introduced to be well-known slide bed planes \((A_2B_2C_2D_2)\) in form of circle and are lines which may generally correspond to most conditions and actually accepted by scientists. Actual slide bed planes \((A_1B_1C_1D_1)\) are essentially similar to simplified slide bed planes \((A_2B_2C_2D_2)\). The section \(A_1E\) is quite different from the section \(A_2E\). But in fact the wall (slide walls) is rebuilt from the original slide bed plane by bursting apart (to form \(EB_1F\) colluvium). So it must be much steeper and closer to the section \(A_2F\). Otherwise, in spite of deviation, section \(EB_2C_2\) are close to \(EB_1C_1\). Reversed and turned-back body slides \((A_2B_2C_2F)\) are in the states of body slides deformed after sliding. Although they do not entirely correspond to lines of the former terrain before sliding, they are approximate to each other. Besides, it is supposed to be no problem to prove and think more than in different planes and during the whole sliding process, the strength of shear-resistance of slide bed planes is equal and unchanged, the whole slide bodies at a definite speed. This may not affect the essence of problems discussed in this paper.
At any time \((t)\) in sliding of high-speed landslides, the parts beyond sliding bed planes should be taken as an energy balance system while the others do not belong to it. When taking point M as the centre of conversion, slide bodies slide at a definite speed \((V)\), the interior energy of this system is regarded as potential energy \((EP)\) of slide bodies. Slide bodies in motion possess sliding kinetic energy \((EK)\). Besides, for overcoming shear-resistant strength of rock masses beyond the system energy wasted by friction and resistance in interior bodies and other resistance (such as air resistance) and etc. \((t)\) for doing work is considered to be negative outer energy \((Ee)\). Therefore, according to relative elevation O line--basic line--shown in the Fig. and energy balance principles, we suppose the total weight of slide bodies to be \(W\), and can clearly see all kinds of energy stated above:
\[
EP = HW \\
EK = -\frac{WV^2}{2g} \\
Ee = \tau L \xi
\]
where: \(L =\) the total length of a slide bed plane \((A_2B_2C_2D_2\) or \(B_2C_2D_2)\);
\(\xi =\) the distance of sliding \((C_2D_2)\);
The shortened thickness is equal to '1'. On the basis of energy law of thermodynamics or the law of conservation of energy and from formulas (1), (2), (3), we may make energy balance formulas of whole processes of dive and upthrust in high-speed and intensively-moving landslides, but outer energy is usually regarded as negative outer energy \((-Ee)\).
\[
EP + Ee + EK = U \\
HW + \tau L \xi + \frac{WV^2}{2g} = U
\]
the total energy \((U)\) of slide bodies system in sliding keeps some balance. In the same way, at the moment when body slides have just started or will stop, we may write the following formulas:
\[
W(H_1 - H_2) = \tau L(\xi_1 - \xi_2) = \frac{W}{2g}(V_1^2 - V_2^2) = 0
\]
Therefore, in order to prove in detail or partly to investigate the relationship of energy conversion among slide bodies we may divide slide bodies into many strips in definite size and make up formulas for energy balance in complete dive and upthrust processes of high-speed and intensively-moving landslides. From formulas (1), (2), (3), we may write the following formulas:
\[
\sum_{n=1}^{i+1} w_n h_m b_1 + \sum_{n=1}^{i+1} \tau \Delta L \xi + \frac{WV^2}{2g} = U
\]
\[
\sum_{n=1}^{i+1} w_n h_m b_2 + \sum_{n=1}^{i+1} \tau \Delta L \xi + \frac{WV^2}{2g} = U
\]
\[
\sum_{n=1}^{i+1} w_n(h_{in} - h_{2n}) + (b_1 - b_2) \sum_{n=1}^{i+1} \tau \Delta L_n \xi + \frac{W}{2g}(V_1^2 - V_2^2) = 0
\]
From basic formulas of energy balance (6) and (9), it is not difficult in seeing that in the total energy of slide bodies potential energy, kinetic energy and negative outer energy may convert to each other in the whole dive and upthrust process of high-speed and intensively-moving landslides, or straightly speaking, the energy is completed by arranging and converting the difference of elevation of gravity centre, the speed of sliding and the difference of migration of sliding. There is a clear and strict conversion relationship among them.
According to the former formula and formulas
stated above, it is not different in proving laws of energy conversion of multiple-stroke landslides (Fig. 4, 5).

OVERSTEPPING GAS BILLOWS SPATTERED WITH MUD
Shi-jia-po landslide has its own characters and a new phenomenon different from that of common landslides. This is overstepping gas billows spattered with mud of active slide bodies. They may bring us extraordinary disasters that are difficult in imagining. Overstepping gas billows spattered with mud may damage building and installation, break trees, burst the surface soil and even may break and lift quite far objects away. For forming overstepping gas billows spattered with mud, it is necessary to have sufficient high speed. Slide bodies at high speed have enormous kinetic energy, thus causing gasses in front parts of body slides to press swiftly, expand and then suddenly burst out under proper conditions. If in a region there may exist a suitable distance, very different rocks—soft and hard, a proper fracture belt in structure or the combination of the former two, gas billows could be formed in the narrow, and winding river valleys, obvious projected mountain spur and whetstones which can stop slide bodies to turn. Therefore, it makes parts of kinetic energy of body slides be changed into an enormous impulse. So this is important objective conditions under which overstepping gas billows spattered with mud are formed (Fig. 6, 7). The projected mountain spur must have steep slopes (about 45-75°) so as to cause parts of pressed air and converted enormous impulse to break out swiftly and violently, thus forming the maximum height (hmax) and distance (lmax) of gas billows spattered with mud. Obviously, slide bodies at a high speed must possess sufficient weak rock masses and developed fractures (weathered rocks or low-strength rocks) or loose soil for rapidly disintegrating, breaking out and grinding. In this way, the front or the side part can be changed into mud. This is material conditions for making up gas billows spattered with mud. At last, there must be large amount of underground water and surface water to take part in forming overstepping gas billows spattered with mud. The humid weather, rains, especially, flood season provide enough materials for overstepping gas billows spattered with mud.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Language is an important means for communication in daily activity. Moreover, in this era English has become a primary need due to it is the high demand of English fluency to communicate with other people from various countries. For many years students from many places around the world learn English. Since it is considered as an international language, learning English has become a necessity for everyone who wants to engage in international interaction. Mastering English is not a simple thing to do. There are some skills that should be learnt and practiced, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They are the basic language skills especially in teaching English as a foreign language at schools, courses or other educational places whether they are formal or informal. In order to make good communication, people must have enough words, which people understand and use. Considering this need, English as foreign language is taught in the early age, hence in Indonesia, English generally taught since Kindergarten.
Richards and Renandya (2002: 81) state that vocabulary is a core component of language proficiency and provides much of the basis for how well learners speak, listen, read and write. It also states that vocabulary is a sum or stock words employed by a language, group, individual, work or in field of knowledge. Moreover, Oxford learner‟s pocket dictionary states that
vocabulary is: (1) all the words that a person knows or uses; (2) all the words in a language; (3) list of words with their meanings, especially is a book for learning a foreign language.
From the definitions above, vocabulary becomes such an important part in learning language especially English. Why? Because vocabulary is the basic essential component in learning English which makes someone able to speak, write, read, and listen. In relation to this case, Tarigan (1985: 2) states that language skill mostly depends on the mastery vocabulary. Thus, the more vocabulary mastered, the bigger possibility someone can skillfully use the language. While, Nation (2008: 66) says that vocabulary is central to language. Without an extensive vocabulary, one will be unable to use the language communicatively.
Good mastery of vocabulary is important for anyone who learns the language used in listening, speaking, writing and reading. A learner of a foreign language will speak fluently and accurately, write easily, or understand what he or she reads and hears if he or she has enough vocabulary and has the capability of using it accurately.
Mastering vocabulary is the ability to get or to receive lots of words. By having and mastering vocabulary students will know the meaning of vocabulary in the context. It can also help to avoid making mistakes in understanding a written or spoken text. On the other hand, students who learn English face a classical problem dealing with English text, lack of vocabulary
is the major one, whereas in fact vocabulary is the most important thing in comprehend the English text.
Learning a foreign language means learning about another language beside native language of a country. It means we learn how to translate our native language into foreign language or on the contrary.
Translation is one of the most important skills that should be learned and developed by the students. Pinhhuck as quoted by Suryawinata (2003: 13) said translation is a process of finding a TL (Target Language) equivalent for an SL (Source Language) utterance. It is important to have the translation skill because translation is ultimately a human activity which enables human beings to exchange ideas and thoughts regardless of the different language used. Basically translation is transferring the meaning from one text into another text with the change of the form, form of Source Language (SL) is replaced by the form of Target Language (TL).
Descriptive text is one of the genres in text that is learnt by the students in senior high school. Bachtiar Bima M and Cicik Kurniawan in Let`s Talk, (2005: 15) state descriptive text is a text which says what a person or a thing is like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing. Descriptive text stretch out many information about certain people, things, and place clearly and detail. It is taught by teacher as one of learning topics in order to make students know how to describe themselves and their surrounding although it is still in a simple way.
In order to be able to translate well, a student should master vocabulary and fully understand and be familiar with the subject matter that will be translated. The more a student has stock of words used in a language, the better it will make their performance in translating English words in a text. Because of that, vocabulary mastery will affect the student‟s understanding and how they will translate the words in a text.
The syllabus items for senior high school in Arif Rahman Hakim (2011:1) showed that the students should have around 3000 words and the passing grade for English test is 79. In fact, what students got is below what they have to achieve. It is supported by Arif Rahman Hakim (2011) in his research entitled "The Correlation Between Vocabulary Mastery and The Ability of Translation Among The Tenth Grade Students of SMAN 4 Martapura in Academic Year 2010/2011". The research showed that the vocabulary mastery of the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 4 Martapura classified into category fair, because the students got the vocabulary knowledge below 3000 words and the average scores of Translation test was under the passing grade.
Based on writer‟s experience in teaching English at senior high school during the teaching practice, the writer has an interest to conduct a research entitled "The Impact of Vocabulary Mastery on The Student‟s Translation Ability of Eleventh Grade Students of SMA Negeri 1 Sampang in 2013/2014 Academic Year".
