Calculating the Weekly Benefit Amount (WBA) Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA)
Average Weekly Benefit Amount (AWBA). Average weekly benefit payment of regular compensation in the state, as provided quarterly by the Department. The PUA Pandemic Assistance Period began January 27, 2020. States must use UIPL No. 03-20 to identify their AWBA for purposes of PUA.
Base Period. Look-back period from which to assess an individual's WBA. This is the most recent tax year that has ended for the individual (whether an employee or self-employed) prior to the individual's unemployment that was a direct result of the COVID-19 public health emergency (20 C.F.R. §625.6(a)(2)). The PUA base period is CY 2019.
Wages. Remuneration for services performed for another, and, with respect to self-employed individual, net income from services performed in self-employment (20 C.F.R. §625.2(u)). For purposes of calculating the WBA, employment, wages, and self-employment which are not covered by the applicable state law shall be treated in the same manner and with the same effect as covered employment and wages (20 C.F.R. §625.6(a)(1)).
Wages do not include employment, self-employment, or wages earned or paid for employment or selfemployment which are contrary to or prohibited by federal law (e.g., compensation for services performed by an alien who was not lawfully present for purposes of performing such services) (20 C.F.R. §625.6(a)(1)).
Weekly Benefit Amount (WBA). If the individual is eligible for an amount higher than the AWBA as provided in the table above, this is the weekly amount calculated pursuant to state UC law.

Joseph Berko
President, Berko & Associates
Mortgage Observer Weekly: How did you get your start?
Joe Berko: I started my real estate career in 1995 out of a small rental office in Forest Hills, Queens. I fell in love with the industry and decided to pursue a bachelor's degree in real estate at Baruch College. The degree focuses on the different disciplines in real estate finance, contract law, zoning and development. I gobbled up any piece of information I could get my hands on. When I graduated, I went to work at an investment banking firm with a specific focus on real estate finance, called Citadel Realty.
You focus on structured finance and syndication advisory. How did you develop this approach?
One of my clients decided to opt out of his refinancing process and ask me to represent him on the sale of his building. I was a young aggressive agent, and I took the assignment very seriously. It was my first investment sales deal, and I was determined that it be a success. During the many building tours, I often asked investors about their financing expectations and was amazed at how little most of them knew about the process.
When I launched my company in 2005, the platform was based on the integration of finance and investment sales. I was clear about Berko & Associates' competitive advantage of underwriting assets from a banker's standpoint while passionately pursuing the transaction with the visions and goals of an investor's. Over the years, our area of focus shifted to include larger transactions and, with it, higher levels of complexity that require different financial structuring, including mezzanine debt, preferred equity and joint ventures.
What type of borrowers do you target?
The kind of clients Berko & Associates targets for both financing or investment sales transactions include private equity firms, family offices, public and private REITs and private seasoned investors.
What's the most interesting deal you've worked on recently?
I think that the Paper Factory Hotel was one of the more interesting transactions I worked on recently. We advised the developer on the acquisition of a 90,000-square-foot loft building near the Kaufman Studios, in Long Island City. To secure the deal, Berko & Associates tapped into our international Rolodex and raised the capital needed to secure the acquisition and to construct the hotel. The plan was to convert the building into a trendy 122-suite hotel, a destination restaurant and a spa. The developer is a hands-on forward thinker that designed and implemented one of the best hospitality concepts outside of Manhattan. The Paper Factory is now getting rave reviews for embracing an industrial chic design. It is the baby child for the revitalization of Astoria/Long Island City. I loved every aspect of this transaction.
What trends do you see in the market at the moment?
We see very strong fundamentals. There is a solid demand from local and foreign investors to acquire real estate in New York, especially in Manhattan although in certain areas that is still limited. Quality assets are hard to come by, and the few that hit the market are fetching record-breaking prices. Interest rates are still very attractive, and banks are competing to get money out the door yet have maintained disciplined underwriting. To say it plainly, it is a great time to be in the commercial real estate advisory business.

Ecommerce Activation Strategy to Bolster Liquidity
1
April 2020
Each passing day physical storefronts remain closed, seasonal products depreciate further on warehouse shelves. Retailers must act quickly to convert an abundance of inventory into cash, and because of the shift of demand to ecommerce, formulating a digital media plan is Step 1.
Take Immediate Action
Now is not the time for retailers to take their collective foot off the gas pedal; instead, they should shift gears from "brand building to customer activation, focusing on conversion, basket building, and repurchase triggers." Embracing direct-to-consumer strategy and utilizing digital media can quickly and efficiently drive demand, and transform a vulnerable inventory position into a competitive advantage that drives customer activation and cash liquidity.
Rapidly assess your brand's strength and the retail industry's position as a whole, by taking the following into consideration:
- Cash management practices
- Inventory position tracking
- Store & outlet sales offset
- Immediate volume capture
Sentiment vs Behavior
In recent weeks our team has observed that consumer sentiment is not aligning with consumer behavior. Despite consumers expressing fear in spending and reportedly focusing on essentials only, nonessential shopping continues online.
NOTABLE DATA POINTS
Of shoppers expect to spend the same in general department stores.
Source: Forbes
Are not comfortable going outside for nonessential shopping.
Source: 4A's Research
Of shoppers are planning to spend less on discretionary categories.
Source: BCG's Sentiment Snapshot #2
With this expressed consumer confidence in flux, consumption patterns suggest a willingness to spend across categories, including apparel. Buying behavior online is widespread and media markets are favorable, as evidenced by the following:
Qualified, high-converting traffic is up.
This demonstrates that shoppers are still actively browsing. According to WWD, this increase in demand will likely result in steep discounts, merchandising shifts, and more from retailers in the weeks to come.
Media engagement is seeing record highs.
Group Nine Media reports the highest time spent with content ever at over 3.6B minutes in March, for that publisher alone.
Conversion rates are strong.
Across PMG's retail portfolio, traffic volume is shifting towards desktop across Search, with clicks up 17% and conversion up an average of 31%. Brand search traffic is flat, but conversion rate and click-through rates are up an average of 20% across retail brands.
Website engagement and time on site are high.
Shoppers are spending more time with a brand, navigating through more pages, and showing a willingness to dig through categories to find the best deals and products.
Short-term inefficiencies in Media Markets are an ROI opportunity.
While media inventory demand is down, media consumption is surging. CPMs and CPCs in programmatic display and social media are off peaks from earlier this year by as much as 50%, presenting opportunity for programmatic and action-based buyers to take advantage.
Shifting Strategies
Lead with eCommerce & Accelerate with Digital Media
The brands currently forging ahead are those that have embraced and accelerated the shift to direct-toconsumer customer experiences — i.e., online shopping and convenient delivery. By taking this approach, brands can pursue potentially new and lapsed customers to gain momentum post-peak of the outbreak. Historically, brands that push during low times come out on top when the tide rolls in again.
By examining media market inefficiencies now, brands can quickly identify significant ROI-boosting opportunities to take advantage of tomorrow.
Additionally, abate internal concerns about setting customer precedents during unprecedented times.
Execute, Test, & Iterate in Real-Time
Customer and audience-based activation are crucial and will allow brands to minimize exposure to customers not in market. When efficiency is top of mind, surgical and precise investments are more valuable than casting a wide net and broadcasting to the masses.
Messaging is also important. In our experience, your investment is best served when you connect your best customers with a unique opportunity, leading with product ads versus overt branding. In like manner, managing non-brand search closely and profitably will keep messaging risk low given the speed at which the situation is developing.
Diversify the Channel Mix
As consumption behaviors shift, engagement is surging across digital partners traditionally known for consideration and awareness. Channels like YouTube, Reddit, and Pinterest are fertile testing ground - today - for customer acquisition and performance. Those willing to experiment will be rewarded with meaningful engagement and a first-mover advantage.
Drive Critical Short-Term Business Outcomes
While the macro environment in the medium and long term is riddled with uncertainty, immediate consumer buying intent persists and, in fact, can act as a welcome psychological relief when met with immediately available value. If the business planning can therefore follow a much faster cadence of learning and adjustment, promoting appropriate and resonant categories can be a viable road to short-term but very meaningful gains, including greater customer acquisition during a burst as short as a given week or sale, along with focused, targeted diminution of liable inventory.
The financial impact of implementing the aforementioned strategies can:
- Improve return on ad spend, and can even outpace Holiday performance if managed properly
- Bolster the top line
- Move inventory rapidly to ensure accessibility to both the business and the customer
- Pull demand forward, paying the media platforms in subsequent months
In testing these levers, PMG and its customers have seen:
Increase of topline revenue above forecasts, across multiple apparel retailers 200 %
4x
Search ROAS vs LY for one specialty retailer decline in CPA online since peak Holiday 40 %
Retail is Our Bread & Butter
Currently, PMG manages over 14,000 bid modifications/day for retail brands, and our product feed management teams oversee 1.6 million product feed optimizations/day. Our programs are built with your customer top of mind with audience-based activations being used to reach customers with high intent and affinity.

12 DEC 2017
Dr Robert Shaw
fyi.org.nz
Dear Dr Shaw
I am replying to your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request of 18 November 2017, for information relating to the policy and practice of the Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) service and the rights of the child.
Your questions and my responses are below.
1. Does the Ministry agree that whilst the statutes and the UN Declaration prioritise the interests of the child, the procedures required, or used, in FDR mediation do not ensure or guarantee this is achieved?
This is because the decision-makers are the parents and there is no mandatory requirement for the views of children to be recorded, nor must it be stated in any report of the mediation how the views of the child were obtained, nor is there any requirement for the parents to say why they chose to deviate from the views expressed by their children.
The mediator is not obliged to report on any of this to the Ministry. Thus, parents may, if they wish, simply ignore the preferences of mature, rational children, even though it might be argued that this is against the law.
Are the reasons I suggest correct, according to the Ministry? Can you please provide me with any relevant policy or procedural guidelines about this matter?
FDR providers must adhere to the Family Dispute Resolution Act 2013 (FDR Act). Section 11(2)(c) of the FDR Act places a duty on FDR providers, to assist parties to a dispute to reach an agreement that best serves the welfare and best interests of all children involved in the dispute.
The FDR operational guidelines that contain the Ministry’s instructions and rules that FDR providers must adhere to when delivering FDR services are available on the Ministry of Justice website at: www.justice.govt.nz/family.
On page 8, you will see that the Ministry requires the FDR provider to have processes in place to ensure the child’s voice is represented in the mediation if appropriate. The Ministry recognises that there are different models of incorporating a child’s view throughout the mediation, including interviewing the child separately on specific matters or having a child’s representative present during mediation sessions. The Ministry requires FDR suppliers to agree their model with the Ministry before implementation.
2. **Is it correct that FDR mediators may interview children for section 6 purposes? If so, is it at their discretion who is present in such interviews and what records are made?**
Section 6 of the Care of Children Act 2004 (CoCA) relates to the views of children being sought for court proceedings. FDR assists parties to a family dispute to resolve the dispute without having to pursue court proceedings. FDR is not a court proceeding, and therefore is not subject to section 6 of CoCA.
3. **As the decision-makers in FDR mediation are the parents (usually) do you consider them to be bound by the requirements for “decision-makers” in the Care of Children Act 2004, particularly, Section 5 “Principles relating to child’s welfare and best interests”. If not, why not?**
If so, what requirements are there that mediators ensure that each and every item in that section is addressed by the decision-makers and how must this be recorded and reported to your Ministry?
**What monitoring does the Ministry undertake to ensure there is compliance with section 5 in FDR mediations?**
FDR is not a court proceeding and is not subject to the CoCA. FDR mediations must be delivered in accordance with the FDR Act 2013 and the Ministry's operational guidelines.
4. **International research and NZ research indicates that the children involved in FDR are "at risk". What mandatory provision is there for the violence, depression and suicide assessments to be conducted by a counsellor or psychologist who see these children? If there is no mandatory provision for such assessments, why not? If there is, what are the procedures for the counsellor and the mediator in such circumstances, and do you require recording of this in the mediation documentation (as opposed to the violence registers and responsibilities of counsellors outside of the FDR role).**
If mediators interview children are they obliged to conduct violence, depression or suicide assessments with them and report in accordance with the requirements for counsellors?
**Does the Ministry see any conflict with the confidentiality requirements for mediation in such situations and is there any policy guidance provided to mediators in relation to this?**
There is no mandatory provision for conducting assessments with children for FDR purposes. Instead, mediators are required to deliver the FDR service in accordance with the FDR Act and the Ministry's operational guidelines, which provide a duty for providers to reach agreements that best serve the welfare and best interests of all children involved.
In regards to confidentiality, section 14 of the FDR Act provides that any statement that a party to a family dispute makes to an FDR provider to enable the provider to deal with the dispute is not admissible in any court. However, the FDR outcome or exemption form and the FDR outcome agreement are not confidential.
How the FDR service may incorporate the voice of the child is not specifically prescribed by the Ministry. As such, the Ministry has not provided policy guidance for mediators in relation to conducting assessments for children for the purposes of FDR.
5. The rights of the child to be heard in FDR relate to each individual child. Given the nature of family dynamics and the potential for selective reporting to parents after assessment interviews, is there a policy on the grouping of children to ascertain their views? If so, what is it, please?
How do you provide for the resource implications that derive from each child having an individual right to be heard and a right to privacy? The five-child family could require five interviews whilst the single child family requires just one.
There is no policy relating to the grouping of children to ascertain their views for the purposes of FDR. The FDR Act establishes a duty for providers to assist the parties to reach an agreement that best serves the welfare and best interests of all children involved. The Ministry requires FDR providers to have processes in place to ensure the child’s voice is represented if appropriate.
6. In the financial and time allocation for each mediation, how much of the resource is mandated for work with children? This refers to both the ascertaining of their views and counselling to issues.
How much assessment time and counselling time is each child entitled to in the process? For comparison, how much counselling time is the entitlement of each parent?
Parties who are fully funded by the government to receive FDR are entitled to receive up to 12 hours of preparation for mediation and/or mediation in a 12-month period.

CARE OF DORMANT MASON BEES
Upon receiving dormant cocoons, remember that you are dealing with living, climate sensitive creatures. Unwrap the shipping material and place the mason bee container in a cool, dark place to keep them dormant- a garage, unheated basement, or refrigerator. They prefer temperatures around 39°F with humidity levels between 60-70%. If it is the season for them to break dormancy (are your pears and cherries in bloom?), remove the protective seal from container and place/attach the container to their new homes outside. As we get into midFebruary, they can emerge from dormancy in as little as 3-4 hours at room temperature. Generally three-four days in a row above 55° F will trigger males to start emerging outdoors.
TUBE FOLDING
The empty tubes that we provide arrive unfolded. A roll of scotch tape and rubber bands are all that you will need to get them ready to put out/ Mark out the length of the tube, and its center point (6inches in from either end) on your work surface. With the marks as a guide, use a pair of needle nose plyers or your fingers at the center 6" mark, and fold the tube in half so its ends are even with each other. Now add enough scotch tape to hold it together, and keep folding tubes until you have enough.
Twenty-seven 12-inch tubes (one bundle), once folded, will fill one side of a 3" pvc pipe (you will need 2 bundles to fill both sides of a 3" pvc house).
For people just getting started we recommend one or two bundles of empty tubes and 1-2 boxes of cocoons. This ratio of empty tubes to dormant bees ensures that you have enough space for 2-3 years of nesting space as your bees multiply.
PLACING YOUR NESTS
Be sure to place your mason bee homes out of reach of any little hands, curious pets, or routine tasks (like mowing) that might jostle the nests between March and November of each year. Hang your house so that the tubes/holes are horizontal.
mason bees like morning sun while they are actively flying (March through early June), summer shade while the young larva are hatching in the tubes, and shelter from wind and rain. It's hard to get all the conditions just perfect, but try. Our favorite spots for setting houses are the south or east sides of buildings, close under the eaves, or attached 5-8 feet up in deciduous trees (on a solid branch). If you are using an existing home (wood block, routed out trays, or empty tubes in pvc) attach the mason bee cocoon container below or alongside their new home. Often, jays, squirrels, and woodpeckers can disrupt nests in summer and fall, searching out for tasty developing bees; you can protect your houses with a covering of hardware cloth. The bees will be able to get through, and the critters are kept out.
HARVESTING COCOONS
There are many different housing options for your mason bee colonies. In order to prevent disease and pest infestations, we recommend harvesting and sterilizing your cocoons every year. Wooden blocks with drilled holes tend to be problematic as you are unable to harvest cocoons, unless you line the holes with a paper straw you will need to replace your homes on a yearly basis. The type of housing you provide will determine how best to harvest your cocoons. The tray method seems to be the easiest option for harvesting cocoons. Stacked trays can be taken apart and the cocoons are easily removed by scraping the holes with a flat head crew driver. Cardboard or paper tubes must be carefully sliced open or peeled apart to reveal the cocoons.
STEPS TO HARVESTING COCOONS- October-November
1. Sift loose cocoons in a small holed colander to remove frass (the larva's excrement), mud particles, and pollen.
2. Place cleaned cocoons in a large bowl.
3. Fill the bowl with a 5% bleach solution (1 tablespoon of bleach to 8 cups of cool water).
4. Swirl the cocoons around to knock off remaining debris.
5. After 1-2 minutes rinse the cocoons with cool water.
6. Carefully examine the cocoons and discard those that look damaged or diseased.
7. Be on the lookout for pollen mite frass, parasitic wasp holes, chalk brood, and dermestid beetle larvae.
8. Place cocoons on a screen or towel and allow them to thoroughly dry.
9. Place cleaned/sterilized cocoons in a container, with air holes, in a cool, dark environment. Approximately 39° with 60-70% humidity is ideal.

Introduction
The ProXtra is a revolutionary product specifically designed to enhance trolling battery performance and extend the amount of battery power available to the user between charge cycles accomplished with a conventional battery charger. This system utilizes boat engine charging current to charge your trolling motor batteries while the engine is running. Solid state electronics ensure that the main starting battery is adequately charged before allowing current to flow to the trolling motor batteries. The ProXtra is fully protected against short circuits and reverse polarity and is not directly connected to the ignition system or engine.
Table Of Contents
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the ProXtra 1,ProXtra 2, and ProXtra 3.
Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Charging Systems International may result in a risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
Do not operate unit if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; contact Charging Systems International.
Do not disassemble unit; contact the factory when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
WARNING-RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that each time before using your ProXtra unit, you read this manual and follow the instructions exactly.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these, instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
The ProXtra is designed to be permanently installed in the boat specifically for the purpose of supplying charing current to the trolling motor batteries while operating the main boat engine. Other types and uses, including unauthorized attachments should be avoided due to possible damage and/or personal injury.
Do not attempt to operate the ProXtra in a battery configuration that utilizes a series connection between the engine starting battery and the trolling motor battery or batteries. Severe sparking and/or damage to the ProXtra may occur and the warranty will be voided. Please contact the factory for further information.
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
Use the ProXtra for charging a LEAD-ACID (lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel cell and AGM) battery only. Do not use this system for charging drycell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
PRODUCT SUMMARY
General Operation
Use the following guidelines in this manual to install your Charging Systems International ProXtra system.
Assure that your batteries are properly vented.
During normal operation the ProXtra system monitors the starting battery voltage and will activate once the starting battery voltage rises above a factory set voltage. Once this point is reached, charging current from the boat motor charging system will continue to flow to the starting battery and will also flow to the additional batteries attached to the ProXtra system. When the starting battery voltage drops below a factory set voltage, the ProXtra system is deactivated and returns to a standby state. LED's on the ProXtra case indicate the status of the unit.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not make any electrical connections to the main engine battery or additional batteries until the mounting process has been completed.
The ProXtra may be counted at any angle. For best results, place the ProXtra at the desired location and mark the screw locations using the mounting bracket as a template.
Check for fit and appropriate thickness of the mounting area before drilling starter holes. Use the four screws that have been provided to install the unit on a flat surface as high above the water level as possible.
Locate the cable labeled starting battery and securely connect the ring terminal of the black cable to the negative post of the starting battery. Locate the cables labeled trolling motor battery and securely connect them to the trolling motor battery or batteries as shown. (Red wire to + terminal/Black wire to - terminal.)
Locate the purple wire at the end of the starting battery cable assembly. Using the supplied quick connector, attach the purple wire to any 12 volt source on the boat that is disabled when the boat is not in use. The purpose for this connection is to disable the ProXtra circuitry during times that the batteries may be charged by other means. (i.e. AC powered battery charger)
Post installation testing:
After completing the total installation process for the ProXtra, it is possible to test the unit for proper operation without having to operate the main engine.
1. Attach a battery charger designed for a 12 volt system to the starting battery.
2. Turn on the boat electrical system. (Key switch on)
3. Turn the battery charger on and observe the indicator lights on the ProXtra. When the voltage of the starting battery reaches a factory predetermined level, both indicator lights on the unit should illuminate.
4. Turn the battery charger off and observe the indicator lights on the ProXtra. As the battery voltage drops to a factory predetermined level, both indicator lights should extinguish.
5. If you are unable to accomplish the previous steps for any reason, please call Charging Systems International at 1-800-742-2740 and we will gladly assist you.
Do not attempt to operate the ProXtra in a battery configuration that utilizes a series connection between the engine starting battery and the trolling motor battery or batteries. Severe sparking and/or damage to the ProXtra may occur and the warranty will be voided. Please contact the factory for further information.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 17, 2019
ILLINOIS TOLLWAY INVITES PUBLIC TO COMMENT ON TENTATIVE 2020 BUDGET
Balanced spending plan allocates more than $1.5 billion in annual revenue and supports a nearly $1.5 billion capital program
DOWNERS GROVE, IL – The Illinois Tollway introduced a balanced Tentative 2020 Budget with $1.54 billion of revenue today that includes $380 million for annual maintenance and operations on the 294mile system and provides funds to support $1.46 billion in capital spending, including funding for the ninth year of the agency's 15-year, $14 billion capital program, Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future.
Public comment on the Tentative 2020 Budget will be accepted through November 18. After the Board of Directors has reviewed the public comments and any changes have been incorporated, a final budget will be presented for approval by the Board at its December 5 meeting.
"The Tollway is committed to delivering a balanced spending plan, prioritizing safety and customer service as we reinvest the tolls we collect back into improvements that support our roadway operations as well as the communities we serve throughout the region," said Illinois Tollway Executive Director José Alvarez. "We encourage the public to view the tentative budget for 2020 and share their comments."
The Illinois Tollway will host three public hearings to present the Tentative 2020 Budget and accept public comments. Public attending the budget hearings may submit comments orally or in writing.
* November 12, 3 p.m. at the Illinois Tollway Headquarters, 2700 Ogden Avenue, Downers Grove
* November 13, 6 p.m. at the Burr Ridge Police Department, 7700 S. County Line Road, Burr Ridge
* November 14, 6 p.m. at Village of Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts, 201 Schaumburg Court, Schaumburg.

Tentative 2020 Budget
The Tentative 2020 Budget presented to the Tollway's Board of Directors outlines a balanced spending plan to enhance customer service, support roadway safety and improve technology.
The Tentative 2020 Budget anticipates a $40 million increase in revenue over the current 2019 estimate, primarily due to continuing increases in toll transactions coupled with a truck toll rate increase previously approved by the Tollway Board in 2008. There is no toll increase planned for passenger vehicles.
The 2020 estimated revenues include $1.5 billion from tolls and evasion recovery, $30 million from investment income and $10 million from concessions and miscellaneous revenue. The Tollway also plans to issue $500 million in new bonds in 2020 to provide funding for new and future capital investments.
The proposed spending plan allocates nearly $1.2 billion for direct funding and debt service on capital investments, as well as $380 million for maintenance and operations – an increase of $31 million over the 2019 operating costs.
The 2020 Tentative Budget provides funding for annual maintenance and operations activities including services that focus on the Illinois Tollway's customers. The budget allocates $98.8 million in Business Systems to support and tolling and customer service, $34.8 million in State Police for safety services, $78.5 million in Engineering to support roadway maintenance and traffic operations, as well as $24.1 million in Information Technology.
The Illinois Tollway plans to maintain current headcount while continuing the largest capital program in the agency's history. The agency's budgeted headcount includes 1,462 employees for 2020, compared to 1,468 budgeted for 2019.
The Tollway's 2020 Capital Program calls for investing $1.46 billion in 2020 with $328.7 million budgeted for systemwide roadway and bridge repairs and technology investments to keep the existing Tollway system in good repair, as well as along with funding for key projects including:
* $559.6 million to continue planning and advance construction for the new I-490 Tollway and new interchanges connecting to the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90), Tri-State Tollway (I-294), the Illinois Route 390 Tollway, as well as providing direct access in and out of O'Hare International Airport as part of the Elgin O'Hare Western Access Project
* $446.9 million to continue design and reconstruction of the Central Tri-State Tollway (I-294) Project
* $71.6 million for construction at the I-294/I-57 Interchange
About Move Illinois
The Illinois Tollway's 15-year, $14 billion capital program, Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future, is improving mobility, relieving congestion, reducing pollution, creating as many as 120,000 jobs and linking economies throughout the region.

Parish News and Information
Westminster Bible Study - The Bible Study and Faith Sharing group will be moving from Westminster 7th floor to the chapel beginning. We continue to meet from 10 to 11. This move will make it easier for people attending from all areas of the community to gather in a central space and one that is dedicated to the spiritual life. All parishioners are welcome to attend.
Sunday School - The next meeting for Sunday School is at noon on Nov 12 th . We will be studying chapter two of Hahnenberg and the Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum) from Vatican II. Our third meeting is on Nov 26th; the fourth and final session is on Dec 10 th . All are welcome.
Creation Care - The St. Francis of Assisi Creation Care Team will meet in the church hall between Masses on November 12. Anyone concerned with the environment and the need for us all to be better stewards of the environment is invited to join our team.
Book Discussion Group - The St. Francis Book Discussion Group will not be meeting in November but will meet again on December 17th in the church hall following the 11 o'clock Mass. At that time we will finish discussion of Richard Rohr's book,
Things Hidden. As always all are welcome.
Capital Campaign Overview of Recommendations – "We believe that a capital campaign for St. Francis of Assisi Church, involving individuals and leaders shepherded by Father Fritzner Valcin, could raise $292,000, over a three-year period to address the needs as currently presented in the preliminary case statement for support. It must be noted that well-communicated details and specifics of the church repairs and restoration projects, and the number of leadership gifts received will significantly impact the success of the campaign. This recommendation is based upon the study's findings and the annual parish offertory and financial records." This is written in the report from the Diocese of Columbus. The full report is available for your review in the Parish Hall.
Saint Vincent dePaul – Last Sunday we took up a special collection for our St. Vincent dePaul conference. You so generously gave $730. Thank you for your continued support of the works of St. Vincent dePaul.
Mass Intentions - During the month of November, many people like to celebrate the life of our loved one, who have gone before us. If you would like to have a Mass said in honor or memory of a loved one, please contact the church office. Intentions can be made for a daily Mass or a Sunday Mass. The suggested donation to have a special Mass Intention is $10.
Gospel Reflection ~ November 5, 2017
In one of the most comforting passages in Matthew's Gospel, Jesus says "My yoke is easy and my burden light" (Matthew 11:30). In today's Gospel, he speaks about the burdens that the Pharisees lay upon people's shoulders, burdens that are far from easy. The Pharisees do nothing to ease the weights they impose, while they find ways to justify not taking the burdens upon their own shoulders. Seeing themselves as the authentic teachers, they expect to be treated with honor at banquets, synagogues, and even in the marketplace. They ostentatiously widen the prayer boxes called phylacteries and lengthen the tassels on their prayer shawls so everyone will notice their devotion to the Law. They would expect also to receive honor by the respectful titles given to them: rabbi, teacher, and father. Jesus' injunction to avoid these designations is a warning to stay away from the power and status that the terms conveyed at the time.
Jesus' critique of the Pharisees in this passage is uncompromising. His harsh words here and elsewhere have sometimes led to a negative assessment of all Pharisees. Yet Jesus' judgment is not against all Pharisees, or even against their teachings. Pharisees intended to live the Law to the fullest, and to separate themselves from everything (and everyone) unclean. Only those who took this intention to the extreme, who placed under burdens, who expected to be revered about others, and who plotted against Jesus are the objects of his critique. Source: Workbook for Lectors, Gospel Readers, and Proclaimers of the Word.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
On Sunday, November 12, at the 9:00 mass, we will celebrate a Rite of Reception with Ryan Smith. Ryan will make a Profession of Faith and receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist. Please warmly welcome Ryan as a fullyinitiated member of the Catholic Church.
Also on Sunday, November 12, at the 11:00 mass, we will celebrate the Rite of Acceptance and Welcoming. At the Rite of Acceptance, our unbaptized Inquirer, Josh McNamee, will declare his intent to become Catholic. He will be signed by the cross of Christ and become known as a "Catechumen." Those who already share our Christian faith through Baptism – Lindsay Bodenhoff and Samantha Kohlhorst – will celebrate the Rite of Welcoming as they respond to God's call to live their faith within the Catholic community. They will become known as "Candidates." Please join us after the 11:00 mass in the Church hall for a light reception to offer them your support and encouragement.
Stewardship Council Report
From all of us at Stewardship Council, we want to give a GREAT BIG HUG to all of our Parishioners who attended Commitment Sunday. And to those who added to their Ministry Discipleship or became a Disciple for the first time – YOU GET TWO HUGS. If you couldn't attend or sign-up last Sunday, your HUG is waiting, just contact Andy Randel [email protected] to find out what time and talent you can give.

St. Francis Social Justice Champions
Living Out Our Mission!
Nearly 30 parishioners took part in the SFA social justice group meeting, and then shared their ideas and concerns about community issues during a lively BREAD House Meeting on Oct. 15. Thank you! The top issues from the St. Francis House Meeting discussions were: drugs, violence, affordable housing/homelessness, and discrimination of people of color/police profiling.
939 people attended BREAD house meetings all across Franklin County. At the BREAD Team Assembly Monday night at Rhema Christian Center – where St. Francis was one of 35 congregations represented – votes reflecting the house meetings' discussions were cast. There were 15 possible problem categories for congregations to vote on, with the top 3 moving forward to the larger Annual Assembly congregations' vote on 11/13. The 3 categories receiving the most votes at the Team Assembly were: Drugs (49 votes), Violence (32 votes), and Youth/Family Concerns (29 votes). Of these, Drugs and Violence were two of the top issues from our SFA house meetings, as well.
Please plan on bringing your voice and vote to the BREAD Annual Assembly on Monday, 11/13 at 7 pm, at Christ the King Catholic Church, 2777 E. Livingston Ave. Join others from St. Francis for an inspiring, inter-faith night of action, as we vote and see which of these critical community issues BREAD will work on this year.
Parishioner Highlight
This week, we highlight Jaime Capestany. Jaime is a member of the Parish Finance Council and the Team Leader of the Collection Counters. You can also find Jaime on Sunday Mornings as a Eucharistic Minister. Jaime is also active with our Social Justice groups, BREAD and SVDP. You can always find Jaime involved with the Pasta Dinner, usually with a strand of tickets around his neck and a smile on his face. Jaime has also done several medical missions trips to give back. Thank you, Jaime, for your dedication to St. Francis and the larger community. You are a true asset!

25 Ways to Ensure Personal Success
1. Think positive…be optimistic…look on the bright side.
2. Accept responsibility for your own success, your own happiness, and your own life.
3. Make friends with successful people—you never know when you'll learn a thing or two!
4. Articulate your goals. It will be easier to take the necessary steps to achieve them.
5. Go above and beyond the duties outlines in your job description.
6. Pinch in! Help the team succeed and you'll develop a reputation as someone who works for the benefit of the company, not just yourself.
7. Do what you love. The people that are truly successful love what they do. For them, work is a challenge they want to tackle every day—it is not a daily grind, which must be endured.
8. Learn one new thing each day.
9. Prioritize—according to the boss's value system. Don't waste time on projects that offer no value—you should be able to articulate the benefit from completing the task to justify doing it.
10. Strive for balance in your personal and work life—don't neglect one in favor of the other.
11. Network. Look for opportunities to develop relationships with people in your organization, community, and industry by participating on committees, or joining civic groups or professional organizations. Remember, "it's not what you know, it's who you know."
12. Take risks. To achieve success you have to be willing to fail. Not every idea is a winner, but you won't find out which ones are unless you try.
13. Seek out a mentor. A mentor can help guide your career, highlight opportunities, and steer you away from failure based on his or her past experience.
14. Become your own mentor. Study your organization from an outsider's perspective. Observe who makes things happen, how they do it, and why they're successful. Teach yourself to do the same.
15. Admit mistakes openly—don't feel guilty or ashamed. As long as you learn from your mistakes and give others the chance to learn from them too, you have nothing to fear.
16. Listen more than you talk.
17. Be a lifelong student. Take classes to improve your skills. The more you know, the better off you'll be—whether prepping for a new position, new company, or new career!
18. Read trade publications, newspapers, and books to keep on top of trends affecting your company. Knowledge is power.
19. Take credit when it's due.
20. Arrive early, stay late. If you're always the last one in or the first one to leave, chances are you won't be the first one considered for the next promotion.
21. Build up your repertoire of skills. Take on any assignment that offers a different experience from what you normally do. The more varied the experience you have, the more likely you are to succeed.
22. Develop organizational savvy. Pay attention to how others get things done, to how your boss interacts with superiors, and ask questions of coworkers to find out whom you can trust and who hold the power in your organization.
23. Ask for feedback. If you want to grow your career, your need to know what you can do to improve your performance. Then do it!
24. Understand the company you work for. If you can align the tasks you do with achieving its core business purpose, you'll be on a path to success.
25. Be your own cheerleader. If you don't appreciate a job well done, who else will?

STUDENT WELLNESS
The RSU 29 School Board ("Board") recognizes that student wellness and good nutrition are related to students' physical and psychological wellbeing and their readiness to learn. The Board is committed to providing a school environment that supports student wellness, healthy food choices, nutrition education, and regular physical activity. The Board believes that students who learn and practice healthy lifestyles in their formative years may be more likely to be conscious of the importance of good nutrition and exercise as adults, practice healthy habits, and reduce their risk of obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases.
The School Board recognizes that:
- Everyone needs access to healthful food and opportunities to be physically active in order to grow, learn, and thrive.
- Obesity rates have doubled in children and tripled in adolescents over the last two decades, and physical inactivity and excessive caloric intake are predominant causes of obesity.
- Heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes are responsible for two-thirds of the deaths in the United States, and major risk factors for those diseases, including unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity and obesity, often are established in childhood.
Nutrition Standards

The School Unit strives to provide adequate time and space for students to obtain food and eat in a clean, pleasant, and safe meal environment.
Other foods and beverages sold or available to students during the school day ("competitive foods") will meet the federal Smart Snacks guidelines.

Staff Qualifications and Professional Development
All school nutrition program directors, managers and staff will meet or exceed hiring and annual continuing education/training requirements in the USDA standards for school nutrition professionals.
Nutrition Education
Nutrition education will be integrated into the standards-based instructional programs of all RSU 29 Schools, through health education, and/or other school subjects like math, science, language arts, physical education, social studies, and electives. It may also occur through the use of school gardens, taste testing, cooking demonstrations and school-wide events, as aligned with the content standards of Maine's system of Learning Results. Nutrition education should focus on skills students need to adopt and maintain healthy eating behaviors. Students should receive consistent nutrition messages throughout the schools, including classrooms, cafeteria, and school-home communications.
Nutrition Promotion
Schools will support healthful eating by students and encourage parents/guardians to provide healthy meals for their children by providing consistent nutrition messages and information and by cooperation with other agencies and organizations.
Physical Activity
RSU 29 will strive to provide all students developmentally appropriate opportunities for physical activity through physical education classes, recess periods for elementary school students, and extracurricular activities (clubs, intramural and interscholastic athletics). School programs are intended to build and maintain physical fitness and to promote healthy lifestyles. Teachers are encouraged to integrate physical activity into the classroom/school day in ways such as walking breaks, use of activity stations, motor breaks, etc. The schools should encourage parents to support their children's participation in physical activities, including available before- and after-school programs.
Administrators, teachers and other school community personnel are strongly discouraged from using physical activity (e.g., running, laps, pushups) or withholding opportunities for physical activity (e.g., recess, physical education) as a negative consequence during the academic school day.
Other School-Based Wellness Activities
RSU 29 schools, with prior approval of the Superintendent/designee, may implement other appropriate programs that support consistent wellness messages and promote healthy eating and physical activity.
The Board may approve policy regulations or guidelines for refreshments served at parties or celebrations during the school day or for food as rewards, or may delegate the responsibility for such regulations or guidelines to administrators at the school unit or school level.
The school unit may develop programs that encourage staff to learn and engage in healthy lifestyle practices.
Leadership
RSU 29 shall have a Student Wellness policy and a Wellness Committee. The Superintendent/designee shall be responsible for the oversight of development and implementation of the wellness policy in the schools. This includes ensuring that the school unit evaluates its schools' compliance with the wellness policy and progress in attaining wellness goals and making required information available to the public.
The evaluation process must include a comparison of the wellness plan with model local wellness policies, and it may include surveys or solicitation of input from students, parents, staff, and school administrators, including suggestions for improvement in specific areas.
Annual Notification of Policy
The school unit will annually inform families and the public of basic information about the wellness policy, including its content, any updates, and implementation status. This information will be made available on the school unit's website. It will include the contact information for the person coordinating the wellness committee as well as information about opportunities for the public to get involved with the wellness committee.
Triennial Progress Assessments
Every three years, the Superintendent/Designee will:
Assess the extent to which the school unit's schools are in compliance with the wellness policy;
Assess the extent to which the school unit's wellness policy compares to model wellness policies; and
Provide a description of the progress made in attaining the goals of the school unit's wellness policy.
` The RSU 29 Wellness Committee will update the wellness policy based on the results of the triennial assessment and/or as:
The school unit's priorities change;
Community needs change;
Wellness goals are met;
New evidence-based health science emerges; or
New or updated Federal or State regulations are issued.
Parent Communications
The school unit will inform parents of improvements that have been made to school meal standards; availability of child nutrition programs and how to apply; the school unit's meal charging policy; and a list of healthy celebration party ideas (including a list of foods and beverages that meet the Smart Snacks standards).
Food and Beverage Marketing in Schools
Any foods and beverages marketed or promoted to students on the school campus during the school day will meet or exceed the USDA Smart Snacks standards. Food and beverage marketing includes but is not limited to:
- Brand names, logos or tags, except those that are present as labels on the food or beverage product or its container;
- Displays, such as vending machine exteriors;
- Corporate brands logos, names or trademarks on school equipment such as message boards or scoreboards;
- Corporate brands, logos, names or trademarks on cups used for beverage dispensing, menu boards, coolers, trash cans and other food service equipment;
- Corporate brands, logos, names or trademarks on posters, book covers, or school supplies distributed or offered by the school unit; or
- Advertisements in school publications or school mailings; or on product coupons or free samples.
Corporate brand names, logos and trademarks for companies that market products that comply with the USDA Smart Snacks in School nutrition standards will not be prohibited solely because they offer some noncompliant food or beverage items in their product line.
Nothing in this policy shall require immediate replacement of scoreboards or other durable equipment. However, when reviewing existing contracts or replacing these items over time, decisions should reflect the marketing considerations articulated in this policy.
Appointment and Role of the Wellness Committee
The Board/Designee shall appoint a school unit-wide Wellness Committee comprised of at least one of each of the following:
A. Board member;
B. School administrator;
C. Food Services Director/designee;

Recognizing the need for consistent review and revision of these regulations, the RSU 29 Wellness Committee shall provide semiannual reports to the Superintendent/designee.
With the prior approval of the Superintendent/designee, the Wellness Committee may survey parents, students and the community and/or conduct focus groups or community forums on wellness-related issues.

FROM FR. PETE:
Congratulations to the folks at St. Hubert's in Kaycee! You made your 2016 Living and Giving in Christ goal. Your goal was $990.00 and you paid $1,000.00. Thank you so much! This means less money will have to be taken out of savings to meet parish obligations.
St. John the Baptist goal is $53,036.00. Of that $36,591.97 was pledged and $34,321.12 has been paid thus far. The parish is already receiving bills from the Diocese to make up the difference, (goal minus amount paid): $18,714.88 if there are no other contributions made toward the goal.
St. Mary's in Clearmont's goal is $1,407.00. Of that $44.00 was pledged and $44.00 has been paid thus far. The parish is already receiving bills from the Diocese to make up the difference (goal minus amount paid): $1,363.00 if there are no other contributions made toward the goal.
Great turn out for Mass and Adoration last
Friday! It was so good I was tempted to take up a collection! I hope this turnout will continue. God bless all who make the effort to spend some time in prayer and meditative reading of the Scriptures before our Lord.
Adoration begins immediately after the Friday morning Mass (generally around 8:30 a.m.) and promptly concludes at 9:30 a.m.
What if you can't spend a Holy Hour? No problem. Spend a Holy Half Hour or a Holy Quarter Hour! The amount of time you spend in prayer is not always what matters so much as the quality of the time you spend. It is a lot like friendship, really.
Parish Council Members. We will meet on Sunday, February 26, 7:00 p.m. at the rectory. I would like to spend most of our time discussing the job description for the Youth Ministry position. Please review the draft of that description that will be in your information packets.
Finance Council Members. We will meet on Tuesday, February 28, 5:00 p.m. at the rectory. I would like us to consider what projects we need to complete for this current fiscal year and what we should anticipate for the next fiscal year's budget. I would also like to discuss planting some trees, particularly deciduous and / or fruit trees on Church property.
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow! The hefty groundhog in Pennsylvania was pulled out of his shelter on February 2 and saw his shadow. There will be six more weeks of winter! So…. don't put away those heavy coats and boots just yet. When I told a friend about this over a cup of coffee he looked me straight in the eye and said, "Someone out to go and shoot that &#!! critter." Winter can sure bring out the worst in some folks. To soften the blow, I reminded my friend that the rodent has only a 39% accuracy record, which is much better than my ability to predict Super Bowl winners! It didn't help.
"Fr. Pete…. Does the Church have any official position on climate change?" No. Popes Benedict XVI and Francis have argued passionately about the need to care for the environment. The Vatican set an example by going "green" using solar energy for some of its buildings. But there is no formal position. Nor should there be since there is so much we do not yet understand.
No sensible person can deny that the climate is changing. It remains uncertain, however, to what extent human activity is the source of that change or to what degree it contributes to it. It might be instructive to remember that only recently (late 19 th or early
20 th century) our planet emerged from what has been called the "Little Ice Age". Some theorize it began in 1250. It remains unclear what induced this centuries long period of intense cold with brief periods of warming. Science is doing what science does best to find an explanation: investigate, seek data and draw workable hypotheses. Some experts, for example, suggest the Little Ice Age was created by shifts in solar radiation, others that there was an increase in volcanic activity and some suggest that there was a significant change in ocean currents so that the exchange of warm and cold ocean waters that keep extreme temperatures, atmospheric moisture variations and extreme storms at bay was somehow disrupted. No one could validly argue that human beings at that period of history were responsible for that climatic change. The planet simply underwent what it always does: change. The important point, however, is that whatever the causes of the Little Ice Age, and despite all the disruptions it created in human society, we survived and flourished.
It is certainly reasonable to think that the sheer number of us on the planet today and our industries have some impact on global climate. But we need to exercise caution for two reasons. First, neither we nor scientists know all the facts. Second, scientists are not immune from governmental manipulation to achieve political goals. I recall as an undergraduate student in the 1970's President Carter addressed the nation wearing a sweater sitting in front of a fire telling us that science had demonstrated our planet was cooling down. Some politicians went so far as to declare we were entering another ice age. There was no such scientific consensus. The President solemnly warned that our planet's supply of oil was limited and being depleted far too rapidly and we must limit our use of fossil fuels. Again, there was no such scientific consensus. Contrast that message of the 70's with the hysteria of some of our political leaders today: that science has proven our planet is warming up at unprecedented rates and we must stop using fossil fuels immediately or our coastal cities will be flooded out and island nations will be submerged under water! While there is growing scientific consensus that we are in a warming phase, it's far from a unanimous conclusion. And there is intense debate as to the origins of this warming trend, the level of human responsibility, and predicting what will happen and when. Some groups, catapulted into panic mode, argue for the eradication of cattle because cow flatulence contributes to the "evil" of global warming! You may ask me to lower my thermostat, recycle and reduce my "carbon footprint" and I shall comply. But as God is my judge I shall not give up my prime rib!
Scientists from various disciplines continue to study climate change and must be allowed to do so without pressure from either government, academia or special interest groups to produce results or tweak the data to meet institutional or political agendas. Science must be allowed to follow the data regardless of where the data leads. At this point science admits that the various terrestrial and celestial systems that impact our planet's climate and how those systems interact are not fully understood. In the absence of facts and an agreed upon working model of our planet's climatic systems we should dismiss those who try to suck us into their hysteria. Fear of the unknown is never a sound foundation to make policies that affect the lives of millions, indeed billions of people. And we should also dismiss those who ridicule climate change as a hoax. Regardless of the passion with which both sides argue neither group knows the full story. At least they share something in common!
What we can and ought to do is use common sense to live in ways that make maximum, efficient use of our current energy resources, employ our entrepreneurial skills in creating new and sustainable energy resources that reduce pollution and take practical steps to minimize the negative impact we have on our environment. As the Popes have said, we are called to care for the marvelous creation God has entrusted to us. We are creation's stewards, not its masters.
Our planet's climate has changed many times in the course of its history. Human beings have only been in existence for a thin sliver of that time and have been able to effectively study this fascinating mystery for a mere fraction of that thin sliver. Though we are making progress in our understanding of climate change there is still much we do not understand. One thing we do know for certain is that the climate will change. It always has. It always will. Our task is to do what we can to reasonably minimize our impact on our environment and when climatic changes come do what our species does best: learn, adapt and overcome.
"Fr. Pete…. The shrine looks so nice with the trees gone!" I agree but that was not why the trees were cut down. They were weak, some diseased and one with boughs falling off, threatening life and property. Now that the property has been thinned of unhealthy trees that posed threats to the safety of people and buildings we can look at planting some trees.
"Fr. Pete…. Would you consider putting cushions on the pews?" This topic came up in the Parish Council. My answer is no. First, it would be a very expensive undertaking. Second, we have many children in the parish and that means that everything from baby formula, juice, crushed cereal or crackers, vomit, urine and feces will get into the fabric creating very unhygienic conditions for people to sit on. We would have to include regular professional dry cleaning and replacements which greatly adds to the expense. For those who require padding you are more than welcome to bring a cushion from home for your personal use.

STUDIES ON A NEW GROUP FEATURE OF THE EEL ERYTHROCYTES – An(b)
BADANIA NAD NOWĄ CECHĄ GRUPOWĄ ERYTROCYTÓW WĘGORZY – An(b)
Department of Legal Medicine – Pomeranian Academy of Medicine
and Institute of Ichthyology
It has been established that while absorbing certain horse sera with the An(a) eel erythrocytes, the anti An(b) sera can be obtained.
This serum agglutinates mainly the eel erythrocytes that have not been agglutinated with the anti – An(a) sera.
Our previous works (Sagan and Felinska, 1972, 1973) have shown the presence of the An(a) feature in the eel erythrocytes; the feature can be determined with agglutinins obtained when absorbing horse or pig sera as well as those of goat, sufficiently diluted. Results of investigations on the pattern of the eel erythrocyte antigen features using the horse sera are presented in the following report.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The material, methods and the nomenclature adopted here are the same as those used in our previous papers. The blood of six horses was supplied by RZD-Ostoja. Twelve eels caught from the Szczecin Firth yielded their blood for the investigations.
RESULTS
The results obtained are summarized in the following three tables.
Table 1
The horse serum activity index against the An(a) and An(b) eel erythrocytes
| Erythrocyte group | Serum No. |
|-------------------|-----------|
| | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| An(a) | 4/19 | 3/16 | 3/18 | 3/10 | 2/4 | 3/16 |
| An(b) | 4/19 | 3/21 | 3/18 | 3/5 | 3/10| 3/10 |
Table 2

| 12 | - | + |
DISCUSSION
The results presented show that the An(b) group feature of the eel erythrocytes can be positively determined as it is done for the An(a) group feature.
The anti-An(b) agglutinins can be obtained through the absorption of certain horse sera with the An(a) erythrocytes.

Badania nad nową cechą grupową erytrocytów węgorzy — An(b)
Streszczenie
Cechę grupową krwinek An(b) u węgorzy można oznaczyć podobnie jak cechę grupową An(a). Aglutyniny anty-An(b) można uzyskać przez absorpcję krwinkami grupy An(a) wybranych surowic koni.
ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ НОВОГО ГРУППОВОГО СВОЙСТВА ЭРИТРОЦИТОВ УГРЫ
Резюме
Групповые свойство эритроцитов Ан(б) у угрей нужно обозначить подобно тому как групповые свойство Ан(а). Аглютинины анты — Ан(б) нужно получить через абсорбцию эритроцитами группы Ан(а) избранных сыворотков лошади.

There are two types of diabetes. What is the difference?
**Type 1:** Type 1 diabetes is a genetic condition in which the pancreas does not produce, or does not produce enough insulin. Without insulin, sugar cannot enter the body’s cells to be used for energy. This causes an increase in blood sugar which can lead to further health problems.
**Type 2:** Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body becomes resistant to insulin. This means that when the pancreas produces insulin, the body cannot properly use it to absorb the sugar from food. This leads to high blood sugar.

Treasurer's corner
Well first of all I would like to thank Mark for all his hard work, effort, support and dedication to the WBMC over the past 3 years, man do I have some big shoes to fill!!! No pun intended Mark. So it's time to relax and enjoy all the upcoming rides. I would like to thank all the members for the West Bank Motorcycle Club for honoring & trusting me to be the treasure of this great club. I would like to welcome all the new officers as well as the incumbents (you know who you are) but incase some folks don't have access to the web or weren't at the general membership meeting on April 5th and if you haven't seen the web site, you should take a look. Harald has done a fantastic job with our site "Thanks Harald!" (westbankmc.org) so here they are;

My main goal is to keep things simple and the way they are, why try to fix something that's not broke, after all this is all about having fun riding our bikes, meeting new people, sharing good times with friends and discovering new roads. I will always be willing and open to listen to new suggestions and ideas anyone might have that will enhance this club. So with that said, we will need to start gearing up for the 40th anniversary party. I know it's over a year away, but that should give us plenty of time to throw one of the best celebrations ever! We need to contact as many of the old members of this club as possible. This shouldn't be just an anniversary, but a family reunion with our brothers and sisters of the road we share together. The preparation will take more than just the efforts of the officers, so I encourage any and all members to please lend a hand in the planning of our 40th anniversary.
I would like to throw out a "much needed" thank you to all of our sponsors for supporting the WBMC and inviting us to your establishments and opening your doors to us. And a special thank you on behalf of the whole club to Tom and Little of Whiskey Junction forgiving the WBMC a home and place to gather. So as we go into the 39th riding season with our club lets have a safe riding season and lots of fun. I want to encourage Road Captains old and new, to try and submit ride report. I really enjoy reading these as I know many of you do. So on a different note, has anybody ever goggled WBMC? Well I have and I think you'll get a kick out of it and once again for those people who don't have access to the web hear are the results.
#1 World beard & moustache championships
#2 West Bank Motorcycle Club
#3 Wright Business and Management Consultancy in that order

Global Warming? At 6:30am it's 32F and dropping, wind west 23mph, wind chill 18F. Snow on the ground, more is predicted to come. This after 70's & 80's the past couple of weeks. I wonder what the turnout will be? I've got my '79 BMW R100RT on the charger just in case the temp's climb just a little bit before my 11am leave. May even put the '83 HD XLH on the charger just in case I'm feeling I need something a bit closer to the ground so I can use my feet as out-riggers for stability. Now at 9:45 it's up to 35 with the sun peeking out. Looks like we may luck out; the one's riding two wheels that is. With light snow falling, along with the temperature, it's time to head sown to The Junction. At the Junction I find Dave T. outside enjoying one of his gigantic cigars; Vern is inside keeping warm. Wasn't long before Mark K., Davey, Steve and a couple of other riders arrived. Then, as if knowing all had shown up, Dave appears to lead the 7 of us on the 1st West Bank Motorcycle Club ride of the 2008 season. I was all for heading to Prescott for some shrimp but Dave had his mind set on heading to his place. The road was in really good driving condition as we headed up Washington and the north on Broadway. He must really like stop lights and pot holes. But it didn't take long and we were beyond the stoplights on every block and heading into Brooklyn Center. Pat, Dave's wife had hot food already lined up on the table and everyone was more than ready to dig in. Needless to say once the food and refreshments were out everyone settled into a seat in the garage and it was talk; munch; talk; munch from then on out. Pat tried to get the gang into the basement 'play room' a couple of times but everyone seemed quite happy in the garage. In between the eating a bunch of those that showed up on 4 wheels took a 'ride around the block' for ride credit. The snow and wind did not spoil the 1st ride of the season & party - I'm sure it just made it more enjoyable. The last of the group finally left just after 6:30. Everyone please remember to thank Dave for hosting the party.

No ride report was giving to me so I can not tell you who was the Road Captain was. I believe this ride went to mexican restaurant in Inver Grove Hgts. It was a beautiful day to be on your bike. There were quite a few members that showed up for the ride.

Destination: The Cardinal Tavern
(Actual ride report) We had beer and a hard parking situation.
A short hop down the parkway on the west side of the river and then west on Hiawatha parkway. Wasn't long before the 50 plus 1 bikes overflowed both parking lots. The bikers quickly made their way inside, threatening to squeeze out the locals already occupying the seats. Rachel did a superb job of providing the refreshment to alleviate the dry mouth that occurs on these long runs. This also got many outside on the patio allowing others to find seating so they could enjoy the superb food. A couple of other members showed up; Dave E. got a "ride around the block" from Tracey; many new faces were in the crowd; a couple of new members were signed up and we left the place in one piece well after dark. A number of us headed back to the Junction & Joint to continue on in a festive mood. The highlight of the late evening was the availability of getting a ride in a Race Car. Scarfy & Scott took the quick, rip-roaring trip around the Junction/Joint triangle. It was sometime after the midnight hour when most of us heard the "call to home".

Destination: Tavern On The Avenue
A large group made a long, wandering ride on the parkways and streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The riders got strung out but most managed to get back into the pack around St. Paul. One (for sure or two tried the adventure routes, also called alley's, as a shortcut but this brought them adventure, but not closer to catching up. It is interesting to note that these lost souls did make it to the Tavern well before the rest of the group. My best guess is that we ended up with about 50 crowding into the Tavern On The Avenue to enjoy the great service, food and beverages. Well after dark the place started to clear out with a number of people heading over the bridge to the place where Kara tends.

Destination: Ride to Scandia
Well I guess we now know who the real riders in the club are after this Saturday's ride. I would like to thank the 10 brave souls that came on a real great ride. Two of them, Yvonne and Mark signed up for membership on this ride. This ride ended up at Meister's in Scandia. For the most part it was dry going out. We went down some new routes that some people told me they had not been on before. The ride ended up being about 60 miles and a lot of smiles. You all do know we ride on Saturday also.

A quick trip to Kline Suzuki to look at many vintage Japanese motorcycles. Afterwards a few headed to Don's Little Bar to enjoy the sprinkles beverages. Another small group went a bit further and ended up at Klinker's Korner Bar in Baldwin (a WBMC sponsor) Chris Klinker, the owner, wants the WBMC members to be aware that they are having a ride on June 14th. They plan on a leave somewhere around 11:30 to cruise around some of the fine roads in the neighborhood.

Destination: Tangle Town
A little high speed highway, a couple of sweeping high speed off ramps - the wind whipping over your shoulders as we tour around a few lakes - ending up next to the landmark water tower near Minnehaha Creek in Tangle Town. Mike McCabe's maps were gorgeous. Shame they were short on lines and big on intuition. Lost a few at Lake street and West River Road, lost some more at 100 and Excelsior. The few that did make it were treated to historical tours through a bit of the University. Harald said "Hey, it was like you knew my driving route when I was a slim and innocent University student. We even passed by my old bike parking spot at the U". OK, so I made some of that up, anyway. Bridge and city views, high speed sane lane cruising, big sweeping right hand turns, a little regroup just off excelsior avenue and a leisurely stroll around lake Harriet to the pop stop on 53rd and Lyndale. Hey everyone made it after all. A zippy tour through Tangletown and up to the once tallest man made natural point in Minneapolis. Stanley, Mike's dog showed up for a tummy rub. Smoker got to visit his boyhood home, and all is right with the world once again.
Cheers, Mike McCabe

Destination: Cindy's Bottoms up, Eau Galle
When no road captain showed up by noon Paul took charge and doodled up a map sure to delight any twisty road rider and most of the normal riders. Turned out to be a really good route according to the three new members that were in the group. Wide sweeping turns, couple of tight corners and lots of interesting scenery got us to Cindy's Bottoms Up ready for food and beverage. There was even a "rest stop" near El Paso much to the relief of some of the riders. By 6 it was time to head to Boat Drink's in Prescott for a few jumbo shrimp. About 8 members showed up for the shrimp and I heard a couple others stopped at No Name.

Destination: Clover Leaf Bar, Newport
A nice meandering ride along the Mississippi on East River Road, on to Shepard Road and then Hwy 61 for the final run into Newport. With everyone parking in the back of the Clover Leaf a few late comers had to wander around a bit before finding the destination. Bike count tally was 55 bikes and 58 sign-ins. With this large crowd it's good that most decided to enjoy the crisp night on the outside instead of squeezing into the limited inside space. Good food and conversation kept many in the lot until well after dark. By 10 peace was restored and the cleanup crew finally got a rest break.

Destination: Pickle Factory, Pepin WI
Sticking to the big slabs we headed out 94 to catch 61 south through Prescott and into a short rest stop at the Nauti Hawg in Diamond Bluff. A little refreshment on the newly overhauled deck overlooking the river made for a relaxing stop. Back on the road again we stayed on 35 until we entered Pepin and took the river side street to the Pickle Factory. The food was good, service good, refreshments good. That made for a good time for pretty much everyone. Wasn't long before word got out that the weather wasn't looking good back up in the Minneapolis area and a number of people sprinted back north. Others waited around a bit more until we could see the storm clouds. A couple of us took the roundabout way into Prescott for Shrimp (who-would-a-thought) - We missed the earlier group because of a "where does this road go" moment; a quick stop to regroup; refreshment; back-track. After feasting on the shrimp at Boat Drinks we watched as the weather came our way and the locals kept insisting that there was hail on the way and the bikes would get beat up. After thinking about this for a minute, contemplating running the bikes up and under the overhang, we opted to order another round instead. What we got was a rain shower lasting but a few minutes and ending with a really beautiful, brilliant rainbow over the railroad tracks. Wish someone had told me I left my gloves on the bike.... Checking the TV weather showed the cities getting hit hard so waiting a bit longer seemed to be in order. We had been informed there was a party going on at Mike G's but seeing what looked to be a clear slot that seemed to point towards home we sprinted on out. Everything was going real good, no rain, the bad stuff off to the east and the west still looking good. I was feeling pretty good as I entered 94 off of 61. But as all good things this too came to an end in just a couple of miles - just past Snelling the rain came down hard but only lasted until the river. Just enough to wet the pants bottoms. Things were clear again until Golden Valley where there must have been one bad dumping of rain as the road spray was pretty bad from 55 to 81. That's from my perspective.
Editors Corner
I just want to thank everyone for once again allowing me to put together the newsletter. I will do my best to make it enjoyable to read. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for the letter let me know as I do look forward to new ideas. The Feature Members column will be starting up again, so please don't run away if you see me coming. On a different note: As a suggestion for any and all road captains, if you are not planning on giving me a ride report, why not ask someone who was on your ride to write up a report. Even if it's a short paragraph, anything would be helpful. Thanks!

Identification By E W Kenyon Full Ebook By Jacqui Vern
What does Identification mean? It means our complete union with Jesus in His substitutionary sacrifice. The teaching of Identification is the "legal" side of redemption. It unveils to us what God did for us in Christ from the time He went to the cross until He sat down at the right hand of the Father. Christ became one with us in sin so that we might become one with Him in righteousness. He became as we were so that we might be as He is now. In identification, we have one of the richest phases of redemption. There is a twofold oneness: first, His oneness with our sin and humanity on the cross; second, our oneness with Him in His glory on the throne. These teachings unveil who we are in Christ and how the Father sees us in the Son. The vital aspect of redemption is what the Holy Spirit, through the Word, is doing in us now. When these truths really gain the ascendancy in our lives, they will make us spiritual "supermen." It will be the end of our spiritual weakness and failure. We will no longer struggle for faith, for all things are already ours. We will no longer pray for power, for Christ is in us. We will no longer feel the awful bondage of sin-consciousness, for we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
Bill Johnson, Joyce Meyer, Heidi Baker. The fame of these names is evidence enough that, though the controversies are less intense, the Charismatic Movement is alive and well today. It continues to attract thousands of adherents who find its vision of a supernatural lifestyle uniquely compelling. Now, for the first time, all that is most theologically innovative about the movement is synthesized into five distinct and original ideas. These five brand new theologies have been created, not by theologians, but by practitioners who believed their concepts were inspired by the Spirit: Inner Healing, Shepherding, Word of Faith, Spiritual Warfare, and Signs and Wonders. Plenty of studies have been written by Pentecostal scholars about Pentecostal theology, but these tend to group the very distinct approaches of Charismatics together with Classical Pentecostals. Bold Faith aims to analyze and evaluate the ways in which practitioners within independent Charismatic networks, especially in their Anglo-American expressions, have responded to the challenges of secular modernity. Joseph W. Williams examines the changing healing practices of pentecostals in the United States over the past 100 years, from the early believers to the later generations of pentecostals and their charismatic successors.
With the subject of the atonement of Christ attracting such a lot of polemical work at this time, it is easy to conclude that the current debate is generating more heat than light. Atonement Theories presents the beginning student, pastor, or researcher with an accessible and fair treatment of every school of thought on this subject. Atonement Theories significantly updates previous histories of the doctrine, providing analysis of some fascinating and highly significant recent developments. It also intriguingly highlights at various points where aspects of this central message of Christianity might find a connection within contemporary culture. This book will empower the reader to quickly gain a working knowledge of current debates and the history behind them. An unveiling of the substitutionary sacrifice, showing what we are in Jesus Christ and how the Father sees us.

This book is about the boisterous beginnings of the American Pentecostal movement and the ideas that defined that movement during those formative years. It follows a group of men who rethought the Christian faith in light of their new experience of God. Thinking in the Spirit aims to provide scholars and general readers who know little or nothing about Pentecostalism with an introduction to the ideas of the movement's most articulate early spokespersons, and to provide Pentecostals with a non-judgmental historical source to help them in their theological this now gigantic religious movement. In a 25-year burst of creative energy at the beginning of the 20th century, these leaders articulated almost all the basic theological ideas that continue the way America acts abroad. In For God's Sake Lee Marsden investigates the way that the Christian Right have influenced US foreign policy, arguing that this influence will continue to fuel hostility against the country for many years to come. Marsden looks at how the Religious Right have exerted pressure on America's powerful elite through campaign contributions, lobbying and policy-making, and are training a new generation of leaders to extend this influence into the future. Through the mass media, the Christian Right also help to spread American soft power abroad. For God's Sake considers the negative impact which this influence is having on the environment, democracy and human rights, and considers how it has manifested itself in US policy towards Israel, Iraq and Iran. Finally, the book examines what the future might hold for the Christian Right's political fortunes in the changing climate of contemporary America.
Africans' prevailing interest in the prosperity gospel is not only connected to the influence of American prosperity teachers reaching a worldwide audience through their imaginative use of the media, but is also related to the African worldview and African traditional religion, and its lasting influence on contemporary Africans and the way they think about prosperity, as well as their interest in prosperity in post-colonial Africa. The research from a classical Pentecostal perspective about the impact of the prosperity message on Africa is necessary, timely, and relevant because of its influence in the African Pentecostal movement and its potential to harm the faith of believers, leading to the potential disillusionment of Christian believers who put their trust (and money) in formulas and recipes that seemingly only work for others, especially the prosperity leaders who lead by example with incredulous riches and wealth.
Includes Part 1A: Books and Part 1B: Pamphlets, Serials and Contributions to Periodicals Prosperity Teaching is fast becoming a standard part of contemporary African Christianity. This teaching is best understood in the Charismatic and Pentecostal churches in Africa. The varied expressions and nuances call for a critical analysis of the phenomenon. Prosperity Teaching affirms wealth, divine healing, good health and long-life as manifestations of God's blessing. Conspicuous consumption is often seen as a sign of a successful life and suffering has no place in the divine order of God's sovereignty. This book, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? seeks to bring some understanding to this teaching and shows the extent of its impact in the wider society.

The most comprehensive biography of Essek William Kenyon (1867-1948) available today. It explores his influence on the Pentecostal/Charismatic movements, and likewise illuminates the practice of intuition and mysticism from which the 20th century message of peace, power, and plenty emerged.

The teaching of Kenyon, Hagin and Copeland that Jesus 'died spiritually' (JDS) is important because of the influence of these men, not least on Pentecostalism. This title states that adoption of JDS by Pentecostalism would be damaging in several respects, and thus draw the latter away from its moorings in traditional Christianity.
Secret Scrolls is the very first examination of some forty novels in which someone discovers a new gospel. Sometimes it turns out to be a hoax; will it be debunked before it can work its mischief? If it proves genuine, will it be brought to light? Or will corrupt church officials manage to prevent it? The book evaluates what each author has to say about historical Jesus scholarship or New Testament research in general. Sometimes the authors have done their homework; other times they haven't bothered, and they wind up dishing up crazy rewrites of history and outlandish theories. These novels deal with abiding issues of faith, even without some new discovery. As soon as one engages in biblical apologetics, one has stepped onto the marshy ground of probabilistic arguments, an entirely different epistemology that automatically replaces simple faith. And so one comes to hold one's religious convictions more tentatively, having become genuinely vulnerable to new evidence. One may not remain a believer for long. On the other hand, one invites fanaticism if one's faith is dangerously predicated on the assurance that no new discovery will send one back to the drawing board. Secret Scrolls assesses what each author imagines it would take to derail and debunk Christianity. How mighty a blow must be dealt before the religion would fall? Dan Brown's notion that a married Jesus would debunk the Nicene Creed is laughable. As Wilbert Francis Howard once argued in his brief and fascinating history of New Testament research, there is a genuine "romance of New Testament scholarship," and many of us are delighted to have the Page 3/5

Most Evangelical Christians only know and thoroughly believe the traditional doctrine of eternal torment in Hell for the lost and eternal bliss in Heaven for the saved. As a result, they neglect scores of Bible verses with that provide an alternative teaching. This book veers from some long-held assumptions while reinforcing others, as it humbly attempts to discover the truth of what the Bible teaches about the hereafter. Written for the serious layman, scripturally founded clergy, and open-minded scholar, Dead Soul Syndrome provides wisdom and thoughtprovoking insight for those interested in thinking anew about heaven and hell.
When God sent Jesus to mankind He conformed to man's way of a binding relationship that had been established for thousands of years, so that we could understand the relationship He desired. Blood Covenant has been the practice between families, clans, tribes, and nations from earliest of times bringing security and peace of mind and protection for those who submit themselves to its covering. Little is written on this subject so the author wants to show that the same process that brought peace to warring tribesmen, alliances of nations, family feuds, and individuals has been used by the Living God to bring reconciliation to man and deal with separation between God and man for all time and eternity. Jesus came to bring in the New Covenant, pay the price in Blood that restores, redeems and sanctifies us all to the Living God restoring the open relationship enjoyed at the time of creation.
The ``name it, claim it'' theology of the Word Faith Movement ?is presented as biblical---but is it? In this compelling ?book, McConnell documents the historical link between faith ?theology and New Thought metaphysics. He then analyzes faith ?theology's doctrines of healing and prosperity as well as its ?understanding of the atonement of Christ to show how they ?deviate from biblical teaching. This updated edition features ?a foreword by Hank Hanegraaff and an afterword by McConnell. ?Softcover from Hendrickson.
A balanced, biblical examination of the word of faith movement that helps readers sort through the controversies and recognize sound scriptural teachings.
Pastor Martin began his ministry work at Crenshaw Christi an Center in Los Angeles, CA where he was Born Again in 1975. In 1977 his training was completed as a Counselor and in the years that followed, many were counseled in the Word of God, in the area of receiving Christ as savior, receiving the Holy Spirit, Assurance of Salvation and Basic Christian Doctrine. These "mini-teaching sessions were invaluable in providing a foundation of Christian stair steps to maturity." In 1980 Mr. Martin enrolled at Confi rmed Word Christian Bible College and was first Ordained in 1982 at his home church in Los Angeles: Song of Solomon Ministries. As Associate Pastor and Administrator of The Evangelistic Rescue Ministries, Pastor Marti n was Ordained again in 1987.

(h) Allow the Government reasonable access to inspect the Vessel on an annual basis, or as the Navy determines necessary, so that the Government may assess whether the Vessel is in a condition satisfactory to the Secretary. Inspection by the Government does not relieve the Donee of the responsibilities assumed by the Donee.
(i) Take all steps necessary to comply with any written direction or instruction that the Government may reasonably prescribe for the protection, preservation, maintenance and repair of the Vessel.
(j) Comply with all Federal, State and local laws and regulations regarding preservation, documentation and display of the Vessel and its equipment.

5. Loss Prior to Delivery.
In the event the Vessel is declared a total loss or is substantially destroyed prior to delivery by fire, shipwreck, act of Providence or of a foreign power, or by any means whatsoever, whether by negligence on the part of the Government or not, this Contract shall become void and of no effect.
6. Health and Safety.
(a) The Donee acknowledges that the Vessel was used for military purposes, and was not designed for public display or for use as a museum.

In the event the Donee, or its assigns, fails to perform the obligations assumed under this Contract, the Secretary or his authorized representative may terminate this Contract, provided that written notice to terminate, specifying the particulars wherein it is claimed that this Contract has been violated, is transmitted by registered mail to the Donee. The Donee shall have ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the written notice to cure the violations or deficiencies set forth in the notice or to begin diligent efforts to effect any cure which may require more than ninety (90) days to complete. If at the end of the notice period, the violations have not been cured, this Contract may be terminated, in which event the Donee shall forfeit to the Government any and all rights that it may have in the Vessel, including rights in any improvements made to the Vessel or fixtures attached by the Donee, as the Secretary or his authorized representative may decide. If this Contract is terminated for cause, title to the Vessel shall revert to the Government without further remediation or removal of environmental encumbrances that were associated with the Vessel at the time of original donation, provided that any such encumbrances whose condition has deteriorated as a consequence of the Donee's actions or neglect shall be remediated to the satisfaction of the Government. The Donee shall be liable for costs associated with remediation and return of the Vessel to the Government.
(c) Imminent Danger. In the event the Vessel becomes a hazard to navigation, public health, safety or property, or in the event insurance coverage is not paid or is permitted to lapse, the Secretary or his authorized representative may immediately terminate this Contract.
9. Equipment.
At its own expense, the Donee shall maintain the machinery, equipment and appurtenances transferred with the Vessel in a good state of repair and preservation and in accordance with sound marine maintenance practice. After donation, the Government may remove equipment from the Vessel to satisfy Fleet material needs, provided that the Donee agrees to the removal.

D ressed in his pristine white kandura – the traditional Arab ankle-length robe – and red-striped ghutra headdress, 12-year-old Mansour strides into chemistry class. He and his excited friends mix solutions, and are so proud of their new formula, they decide to take the creation home.
But when a drop spills into a bowl of harees, disaster strikes. The reaction makes the traditional Arab dish of cracked wheat and minced lamb expand rapidly, and it soon bulges out of the windows and doors.
Brunswick's dominic whiting and fatema mahmoud al khateeb explain how cartoons are serious tools for engaging youth in the Middle East
F SOVEREIGN WEALTH
Mansour, and his eponymous cartoon series, are the brainchild of Rashed Al Harmoodi, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Mubadala Development Company – an Abu Dhabi governmentowned institution with assets of more than U
42
$63 billion. Mubadala – Arabic for "exchange" – was established in 2002 to drive economic diversification in oil-rich Abu Dhabi. It has invested globally to become a force in several sectors, including aerospace, aluminum and semiconductors, with a view to creating highvalue employment in Abu Dhabi, and the wider United Arab Emirates federation.
But ensuring that skills, especially among the young, increase at the same pace as investment is a challenge.
"In 20 years, when these new industries are firmly established here, who is going to lead them?" says Al Harmoodi. "We always knew we had to invest in human capital, and we also realize that we have to start talking to children now. My son is 5, and I want him to be part of the shift in Abu Dhabi. The only way to truly engage with very young children is through animation."
brunswick review · issue 11 · 2017
Enter our hero, Mansour. Science geek; Emirati inventor; loyal friend and relative; sporting hero; mischief maker. A role model for young Emiratis, Mansour was inspired by a hero who lived 8,000 kilometers east of Abu Dhabi. Captain N
PHOTOGRAPHS: CARTOON NETWORK
Mansour reaches 130 million homes across the Middle East and North Africa region
Tsubasa, a "manga" cartoon soccer player, made a generation of Japanese children fall in love with the sport in the 1990s, paving the way for Japan to host the FIFA World Cup in 2002.
Al Harmoodi was looking for similar impact from Mansour, but in the rapidly changing world of work. Once an exporter of dates and pearls, Abu Dhabi became an oil heavyweight in the 1960s and today commands 6 percent of the world's proven reserves. But with tourism, aviation, financial services and energy-intensive industries taking hold, the emirate has increased non-oil activity to over half of GDP, from 41 percent in 2008.
SPEAKING ARABIC
more than half of the population in the Arab world, a region comprising 22 countries with a combined population of more than 390 million, is below the age of 25 – 20 percent are between 15 and 24 years old. According to The Economist, the region is set to grow by 110 million people by 2025, a pace almost double the global rate.
This exploding demographic presents a challenge in the Arab world: the region's youth unemployment rate is double the world average, and the lack of job prospects, combined with frustration at political intransigence, has created a volatile mix.
One should be wary of grouping all Millennials in the Arab world together. While most speak a common language, belong to the same religion and live in nations that share borders with one another, there are important distinctions between countries, especially along cultural lines.
Still, broad trends are emerging. More young Arabs today are connected than ever before. They get more of their news online than from TV or print media, and countries like Saudi Arabia enjoy the highest Twitter penetration and per-capita YouTube consumption in the world. Last year, the Middle East's internet penetration jumped by over 21 million users, or 17 percent. According to Google, the region saw an 80 percent spike in hours of YouTube footage watched.
Some progressive business, government and nonprofit leaders are experimenting with how best to engage these young people, employing a blend of digital and traditional communications – inviting their involvement through new media, supported by influencers who broadcast via Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.
The UAE's Minister of State for Youth, 22-yearold Shamma Al Mazrui, has launched Youth Circles across the country to involve young Emiratis in debates and brainstorms on issues that matter to

BLUE COLLAR LEADERS
"my generation was the first to graduate from university, my father and grandfather didn't have that opportunity," Al Harmoodi says. "Now we need to move on even further. We need blue collar Emiratis, who want to put on overalls and fix airplanes or manage aluminum production."
"Mansour" was born out of a serious desire to evoke interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) among children, while teaching practical lessons. The show also looks to reinforce Emirati culture and Arabic language in a context of rapid socio-economic them. Explaining the appointment of Al Mazrui, the youngest minister in the world, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE, said, "Youth represents some half of our Arab societies, so it is only logical to give them a voice and role in governing the nation."
In Saudi Arabia, the Deputy Crown Prince's nonprofit MiSK Foundation sends Saudi graduates to leadership courses at prestigious universities like Harvard and collaborates with major corporations like GE, organizing fairs where young Saudis can sign up for workshops in video journalism, creative writing, animation and graphic design.
Non-alcoholic malt beverage Barbican won acclaim for its online and offline engagement as a result of its "Bro Challenge," which took young Arab men around the world on extreme sports adventures.
There are also increasing numbers of vocational training schemes and online academies with international partners, offering programs entirely in Arabic that help bring recent graduates and nonuniversity-educated individuals up to speed with "fourth revolution" skills.
Multinationals have an opportunity to learn a great deal from these efforts. They can make campaigns in the region successful by listening to what young people want, using language and tone they can relate to, and collaborating with their celebrities and established role models.
Although continued unrest in the region's most populous countries remains an obstacle facing active engagement with young Arabs, a significant number of them are less of an enigma – and far more connected and reachable – than the news cycle might lead one to believe.

transformation and migration. UAE nationals now account for 11 percent of the country's estimated population of nine million.
But an overly earnest cartoon was never going to catch the imagination. Al Harmoodi recognized that those who set out to teach are often ignored by kids, while those who set out to entertain are seen as fun and are able to teach. So when Mubadala began to work with Cartoon Network, the brief was to make "Mansour" as funny and exciting as possible, while taking into account cultural sensitivities.
"For this to work, it had to be an entertaining show that sits comfortably on Cartoon Network's Arabic channel," says Adam Khwaja, General Manager and Creative Director of Cartoon Network Studios Arabia. "So we worked closely with Rashed and his team, absorbing ideas and cultural touchpoints. People who like animation are in touch with their inner child. They are the most passionate artists and storytellers."
Mansour's chubby friend, Obaid, supplies many of the laughs with his hapless adventures. In one dream, he eats his way through a "candyland", highlighting an important issue in the UAE, where the obesity rate is double the world average and one in nine people suffer from diabetes.
Mubadala has since created a game in which Obaid runs to shrink a "diabetes monster." The more fruit Obaid eats, the faster he runs. The app has been downloaded 1.5 million times.
Meanwhile, Mansour's grandfather, Saqer, is a gentle reminder of UAE heritage, giving advice and telling tales of old. Emiratis were largely itinerant Bedouins until 70 years ago, building few permanent structures, and alternating seasonally between pearling in the Arabian Gulf and farming at inland oases.
Although Mansour is the hero, his studious female cousin, Shamma, often outsmarts him. "Shamma is a key character because we know that Emirati girls and women will continue to play an important role in the coming generation," Al Harmoodi says. In the UAE, women account for just over 70 percent of students in government universities, and two thirds of public sector employees are female.
HAVE COMEDY, WILL TRAVEL
emirati actors supply the voiceovers in their "khaleeji", or Gulf Arabic, dialect, giving Mansour and his friends a very firm UAE hue, while the scenes of aqua seas, squeaky sand beaches brunswick review · issue 11 · 2017
and gleaming high rises hint at modern-day Abu Dhabi without explicitly stating it.
This pseudo-anonymity is necessary because "Mansour" reaches 130 million homes across the Middle East and North Africa region, and is particularly popular in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Across the region, "Mansour" is the third most popular Cartoon Network show among children aged 10 to 14, vying with international favorites such as "Ben 10" and "Powerpuff Girls."
Mubadala is now capitalizing on unexpected commercial opportunities, with "Mansour" merchandise being stocked at leading global toy retailers Toys R Us and Mothercare. Counterfeits
are even starting to appear. With a third series in production, Mansour may soon travel further, perhaps to Indonesia and Malaysia, given their cultural affinity with the Arab world.
Khwaja believes it could work. "We created a comedy with tons of adventure, which is a format that is very universal for the 6-to-12 age range," he says. "Mansour's ability to invent stuff usually drives the story, and this dovetails with values that come across in all our cartoons – teamwork, good friendships and loyalty."
Mansour, on his bike, is surrounded by family and friends. Furthest right, arms folded and wearing a yellow kandura, is Obaid, one of Mansour's closest friends. Food and candy are almost as important to Obaid as Mansour's friendship. The character is used to warn children about the dangers of obesity and diabetes
Back at Mansour's harees-filled neighborhood, the young hero comes to the rescue. After working with his teacher to concoct a new "shrinking" chemical, he commandeers a helicopter from a TV news crew, promising to give them the exclusive coverage. To disperse the antidote, he leaps into the expanding harees-blob armed only with the shrinking formula and a snorkel. "Collaboration is the secret to success," Mansour concludes.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH A BRAISED HAM HOCK, CANNELLINI BEAN RAGOUT & BASIL PESTO
This dish takes a bit of preparation with soaking the ham hock overnight but it's well worth the effort. Ham hock is a really cheap cut of meat and is so versatile that we couldn't resist pairing it with the delicious white fleshed halibut.
Halibut is an excellent source of selenium, a trace mineral with many health benefits that your body needs in small amounts and provides over 100% of your daily dietary need. Selenium, niacin and omega-3 contents can help reduce the negative effects of chronic inflammation.
The isle of Gigha, Scotland, is world renowned as producing the best sustainably farmed halibut, this helps to increase stocks in the wild to prevent overfishing.
INGREDIENTS
2 Halibut fillets (roughly 180g each)
1 Ham hock (medium sized)
1 Cannellini beans (tin)
3 Carrots (2 medium roughly chopped, 1 finely diced)
2 Onions (small)
1 Celery stick
3 Garlic cloves
1 Basil (small bunch)
30g Pine nuts
200ml Olive oil
20g Parmesan cheese
150ml White wine
100g Plain flour
METHOD
1. Sit the ham hock in cold water in the fridge overnight to help draw out the salt
2. Take the hock out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature
3. Place the hock in a large saucepan and add enough water to just cover the meat
4. Bring to the boil with two of the chopped carrots and then gently simmer for 3 hours, to up the water if necessary
5. Toast the pine nuts in a pan over a medium heat until they are dark golden brown in colour, but not burnt
6. Put the basil, garlic, 100ml olive oil, half the pine nuts and Parmesan cheese into a blender and pulse until finely chopped and combined to create a pesto
7. Chop the onion, carrot and celery into 1cm pieces and sweat off in a splash of olive oil with a crushed garlic clove until cooked but still firm
8. Add the white wine and cannellini beans and cook until the vegetables are softened
9. Thinly slice an onion into rings, coat in flour and deep fry until crispy golden then leave to drain on some paper kitchen towels
10. Shred the cooked ham and stir through the bean ragout. Season with some of the cooking liquid from the ham add salt and black pepper to taste
11. Heat a little oil in a pan and add the halibut fillets
12. Allow them to caramelise on a medium heat for around 2 minutes, then flip over and add a knob of butter. Cook in the oven for 6 minutes. Remove and allow to rest
13. Place the ragout in the bottom of a bowl and top with the fish then drizzle with the pesto and garnish with the onion rings and remaining pine nuts

Office of Chief Counsel Internal Revenue Service memorandum
CC:PA:APJP:B02:JABremer POSTN-107872-06
date: April 5, 2006
to: Deputy Director
Office of Professional Responsibility
Attn: Michael Hahn
from
: Special Counsel to the Associate Chief Counsel (Procedure & Administration)
subject: Tennessee Public Accountants
This memorandum responds to your inquiry regarding practice before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by Tennessee public accountants.
Issue
Whether an individual who holds current public accountant authority in Tennessee, but who is not a certified public accountant (CPA), is eligible to practice before the IRS by virtue of possessing public accountancy authority?
Conclusion
Yes. The statute and regulations provide that an individual who is duly qualified to practice as a CPA in any state, territory, or possession of the United States or the District of Columbia may represent a person before the IRS.
Under Tennessee law, a registered and licensed public accountant has the same rights and privileges as a CPA. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-109 (West 2006). Thus, for purposes of Circular 230, a public accountant registered and licensed in Tennessee is eligible to practice before the IRS by virtue of possessing a public accountant's license.
Facts
Two categories of individuals may practice public accountancy in Tennessee: CPAs and public accountants. CPAs are holders of certificates issued by the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy (the "Board") pursuant to sections 106 or 107 of chapter 1 of title 62 of the Tennessee Code or corresponding provisions of prior law. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-103(4) (West 2006). Public accountants are holders of a registration to practice public accountancy under section 109 of chapter 1 of title 62 of the Tennessee Code. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-103(14) (West 2006).
Law and Analysis
Section 500(c) of title 5 of the United States Code sets forth the general rules for practicing before the United States administrative agencies. This section provides that an individual who is duly qualified to practice as a CPA in a State may represent a person before the IRS by filing with the agency a written declaration that he is currently qualified as provided by this section and is authorized to represent the particular person on whose behalf he acts. The regulations governing practice before the IRS (Circular 230) mirror 5 U.S.C. § 500(c). Section 10.2(b) of Circular 230 defines a CPA, in relevant part, as any person who is duly qualified to practice as a CPA in any State. Section 10.3(b) further provides that any CPA who is not currently under suspension or disbarment from practice before the IRS may practice before the IRS by filing with the IRS a written declaration that he or she is currently qualified as a CPA and is authorized to represent the party or parties on whose behalf he or she acts.
The decision to include CPAs within the class of professionals entitled to practice before the IRS by virtue of their State professional status is discussed in H.R. Rep. No. 1141, 89 Cong. Cong., 1 st Sess. (October 25, 1965). In explaining why CPAs are not subject to the IRS's admission procedures, the House noted:
[T]here is a presumption that members in good standing of the profession of certified public accountancy are of good moral character, and that surveillance by … State associations of certified public accountants [sic] will sufficiently insure the integrity of practice by such persons before the Internal Revenue Service. The cumbersome admission procedures of the Internal Revenue Service seem unwarranted in their impact on duly qualified … certified public accountants.
Id. at 4.
Under Tennessee law, only individuals possessing a license to practice public accountancy issued by the Board may practice public accountancy in the State. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-102 (West 2006). 1 The Board issues licenses to practice public accountancy to CPAs and public accountants. Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 62-1-106 and 62-1-109 (West 2006). Public accountants and CPAs alike must renew such registrations and licenses biennially in order to remain eligible to practice. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-107(b).
The Board issues a CPA certificate to all persons of good moral character who meet the State's education, experience, and examination requirements. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-106 (West 2006).
1 Individuals whose principal place of business is not in Tennessee having a valid CPA license from any state which the Board has verified to be in substantial equivalence with the Tennessee CPA licensure requirements shall have all the privileges of Tennessee CPAs without the need to obtain a license, but are required to notify the Board of their intent to perform services in Tennessee. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-117 (West 2006). (West 2006).
The State of Tennessee authorized individuals to practice public accounting as public accountants until October 1, 1998. 2 Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-109 (West 2006). Licensed public accountants are entitled to perform attest services to the same extent as CPAs. See id. The Board renews licenses to engage in the practice of public accounting upon application provided the CPA or public accountant has completed 80 hours of continuing education over a two-year period, with a minimum of 20 hours in each year. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-107(d) (West 2006).
The Board may discipline public accountants and CPAs alike or revoke their licenses to practice public accountancy for any number of enumerated violations. Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-1-111 (West 2006).
Accordingly, while the State of Tennessee no longer qualifies persons as public accountants, it will renew public accountant licenses of those individuals who held the authority to practice accounting in Tennessee as of October 1, 1998, provided that these individuals meet the same continuing education requirements imposed on CPAs. Public accountants also must comply with the same ethical standards and remain subject to the same disciplinary actions as CPAs. Tennessee law provides that public accountants have the same rights and privileges as CPAs. Thus, a person who holds authority as a public accountant and a current Tennessee public accountant's registration, is, for practical purposes, a CPA, and is therefore eligible to practice before the IRS.
This writing may contain privileged information. Any unauthorized disclosure of this writing may undermine our ability to protect the privileged information. If a disclosure question arises, please contact this office at (202) 622-3400.
cc: Associate Chief Counsel (General Legal Services)
Attn: Kirsten Witter
2 According to the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance website, there are twenty-one active public accountants in Tennessee as of December 31, 2005.

FROM THE DESKS OF PASTORS SHERYL AND CHRIS KESTER-BEYER
Dear Friends in Christ,
So we're about to celebrate the Big Event, Holy Week and Easter. What then? Jesus even said, "It is finished." What more is there? Forgive my attempt at cynicism here, but I do want to catch your attention and raise the question, how do we finish? As for Jesus, He has sat down at the right hand of the Father. The work that God began in creation and redeemed by the Son is now in the capable hands of the Spirit. Jesus indeed finished, and finished well, but what about us?
A Pastor that served in Nashville got to be friends with a couple of musicians. He found them well versed in scripture and very knowledgeable about their faith, but they never came to worship except on Easter morning. Finally this Pastor got up the nerve and asked, "Why is it you never showed up for any other Sunday?" One of them responded, "You know how much we hate rehearsals, and Easter is the real thing with 51 rehearsals."
Actually, worship is 51 rehearsals and a dress rehearsal. The actual event doesn't happen until we get to the other side of that place we call the grave. Of course, I just have one other question for those musicians, "How many of them would face an audience without having practiced rehearsals? Sheryl's choir director at Dana would tell them, "Work on a song until your sick of it and then find a way to make it fresh and, then and only then, will you be ready to perform it."
Each Easter celebration should remind us that while Jesus' race is completed, our race goes on and indeed with each and every Easter comes the encouragement to begin the race anew. Like with Christmas, the culture around us hypes the coming of the holiday. Then come December 26th or Easter Monday, the decorations come down and the next big sales event is touted. Take a look at your Church calendar, you will notice with both Christmas and Easter, the holiday, or more correctly, Holy Day, BEGINS the season and does not end it. No the race for us is not over, and this intentional placing of the holiday at the beginning should remind us, Easter has just begun. So we understand what the writer of Hebrews meant, when he said, Therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses let us run with endurance the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1). Think of Easter as your starting place and then because you're being cheered on by all who have gone before us, consider how to finish well.

Neighbourhood Traffic Meeting – Caswell Hill
Tuesday, April 1, 2014, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Meeting Objectives:
* Transportation & Utilities Department to present the new process of the Traffic Management Program;
* Present and discuss traffic concerns and recommendations within and affecting the neighbourhood of Caswell Hill; and
* Gather feedback regarding traffic concerns and potential solutions within and affecting the neighbourhood of Caswell Hill.
AGENDA
Presentation Notes
1. Traffic Management Program:
* Changes adopted by City Council in August 2013
* Address the entire neighbourhood instead of one complaint
* Involve more community and stakeholder feedback
* Use staff resources more efficiently
2. Timeline:
* April 2014 – Initial Traffic Meeting - gather feedback, discuss neighbourhood traffic concerns and potential solutions
* April to September 2014 – gather feedback, conduct traffic studies, collect traffic data, develop traffic plan
* September 2014 – Follow Up Traffic Meeting - display proposed traffic plan and gather feedback
* September to November 2014 – gather feedback to finalize traffic plan
* December 2014 – present traffic plan to City Council to acquire funding
3. Past Studies:
* Stop & Yield Retrofit Program – yield signs installed at all uncontrolled intersection in Caswell Hill in fall 2013
* Ave C & 25 th St- 4-way stop not warranted; no parking signs installed and stop sign moved to improve visibility and safety
* Ave C & 29 th St, Ave F & 29 th St- 4-way stops not warranted
* 23 rd St Bike Boulevard:
* Pedestrian Studies- Idylwyld Dr & 30 th St, Idylwyld Dr & 32 nd St – pedestrian devices not warranted
o 23 rd St (from Idylwyld Dr to Vancouver Ave) has been designated as a route that prioritizes cyclists and provides safety with the addition of traffic calming devices, signage, and pavement markings; it connects cyclists to the downtown area and the Blairmore Suburban Centre.
* Safety Pathway:
o Multi-use pathway from Downtown to the west portion of Saskatoon, located along the railway within the boundaries of the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood, commencing at the Fred Mendel Park near the intersection of 17 th Street West and Avenue S South to the intersection of 23 rd Street West and Avenue D South.
o Project on hold as lease agreement with CP is being negotiated and land title issues with adjacent property owner are resolved.
o Construction began in October 2013. There is a fence height dispute currently.
o Planning and report to go to budget committee regarding continuation of this pathway to Avenue W.
* South Caswell Hill Concept Plan:
o The Plan was approved in 2010, prior to the announcement of funding for the Civic Operations Centre.
o The Plan calls for park space, mixed-use, re-use of existing buildings (where feasible) and residential in the area where the bus facility currently is.
o With the move out scheduled for late 2016, the Plan will be over six years old, so we want to come back to the community to make sure the plan still meets stakeholder priorities.
o Once the Environmental Assessments are complete (this month), we will hold a public meeting to start the process. This meeting will be held before the summer.
4. 33 rd Street Review:
* Background – residents were concerned with shortcutting through neighbourhoods as a result of the traffic congestion on 33 rd Street; pedestrian safety was a concern (particularly between Ave C & Ave D)
* Report & Recommendations – a report was adopted at City Council on Jan 21, 2012; recommendations were to improve traffic flow along 33 rd Street and pedestrian safety at Ave C and Ave D in two phases:
o Phase 1 - left turn restrictions at Ave B and Ave C; parking restrictions during peak hours
o Phase 2 - left turn restrictions at Ave D; installation of active pedestrian corridors at Ave C and Ave D
* Public Consultation:
o Phase 1 – open house June 15, 2011
o Parking restrictions for Ave B and Ave D – surveyed residents
o Phase 2 – open house June 15, 2011 to discuss Ave D left turn restrictions; surveyed residents along 33 rd February 2014
5. Sources of Info:
* Collision Analysis
* Community engagement online tool
* All phone calls or emails received by Transportation Division
6. Issues & Concerns:
a) Collision Analysis:
* Based on total number of collisions
* Intersections with highest traffic volumes typically result in highest number of collisions; therefore intersections were separated into categories based traffic controls (ie. uncontrolled, traffic signal, stop sign, or yield sign)
* Higher collision trends were noted at uncontrolled intersections prior to the installation of yield signs.
b) Speeding & Shortcutting:
* Adverse effects of 25 th St opening – high traffic volumes, speeding
* 29 th St - high traffic volumes, speeding, disobeying 4-way stop at Ave H, higher truck volumes, ignoring stop sign at Ave E
* Shortcutting on Ave D south of 33 rd St (between 28 th St & 30 th St)
* Jamieson St & Ave C – disobeying yield sign
* 23 rd St & Ave D – high traffic volumes; speeding on 23 rd St
c) Parking:
* Jamieson St & Ave C – parking is obstructing driver's view
* Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP):
o Two-hour parking restrictions were implemented in 2011 in Caswell Hill to address the SIAST/Kelsey students parking; therefore the Residential Parking Permit Program was installed on the following streets - Ave B, Ave C, & Ave D (31 st St to south of 33 rd ); 31 st St (Ave D to Idywyld Dr); 32 nd St (Ave F to Idylwyld Dr)
o Each resident is limited to one permit. If there are three vehicles and three drivers in the household, each person can obtain a residential permit. If a person lives alone but owns two cars, he/she can only obtain one residential permit. Permits are permanently affixed to the vehicle and are not transferable, as the license plate number is displayed on the permit. Residential permits are valid anywhere within the Parking Permit Zone.
o How to Apply for an RPP - Upon receipt of a written request for a Residential Parking Permit zone, the applicant(s) will receive a copy of the establishment criteria and a blank petition from the City of Saskatoon. It is up to the applicant(s) to circulate the proposed RPP zone petition to area residents. One signature will be allowed on the petition from each single housing unit or each dwelling unit in a multi housing unit. The petition will ask residents the following questions:
* Would your household support the implementation of a Residential Parking Permit Program?
* If your household supports a Residential Parking Permit Program, would any member of your household purchase a permit at an annual cost of $25?
o The City of Saskatoon will verify the results of the petition.
o If the criteria and petition requirements are met, the City of Saskatoon will study the accumulation, duration, turnover and extent of transient parking in the area. Transient parkers in the proposed RPP zone must be at least 25% of the vehicles parked in the area when measured two times during the day (typically 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.). In addition, parking accumulation must be greater than 70% when measured at two times during the day (typically 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.). The measure of transient parkers and accumulation is the percentage of all vehicles and parking spaces in the entire proposed RPP zone (not individual blocks).
o If all requirements are met, the RPP zone shall employ the least restrictive suitable parking restriction, which is applied consistently over the entire zone. Resident-only parking zones are not allowed within the city.
o The final process is approval by City Council. Once City Council approves the new RPP zone, notices will be sent to area residents describing what the Residential Parking Permit Program entails, office locations and service hours to secure permits, permit costs, documentation required to purchase a permit and notice of the impending installation of a parking restriction
d) Pedestrian Safety:
* Jamieson St & Ave C
* Pedestrian safety near parks playgrounds/reduced speed zones around playgrounds:
o A report submitted to City Council in March 2014 responding to an inquiry regarding implementation of "Children at Play Speed Zones"
o Rather than commissioning a study, City Council has advised we gather feedback directly from communities to address their concerns specifically regarding parks/playgrounds in their neighbourhood
e) Transit:
* Current routes – Ave H, 33 rd St, Idylwyld Dr, 23 rd St
7. Description of Traffic Calming:
Type 1- requires a motorist to steer around them (ie. curb extensions, raised median islands, roundabouts).
* Benefits:
o Discourage short-cutting traffic or through traffic to a varying extent;
o Can achieve greater reductions in traffic volumes;
o May reduce vehicle speeds;
o Enhance pedestrian crossings and all-way stop signs locations; and
o Relatively inexpensive.
Type 2- creates a vertical motion in a motor vehicle when it is driven over the device (ie. speed humps, raised crosswalks).
* Benefits:
o Reduce vehicle speeds which can reduce traffic volumes; and
o Relatively inexpensive.
* Typically not recommended on transit routes; decreases emergency access times; and increases noise for nearby residents.
Type 3- physically restricts certain vehicle movements; used to discourage shortcutting (ie. diverters, full closures, directional closures, raised medians).

Δελτίο 71 26 Απρίλη 2007
Audit Finds Many Faults in Cleveland's '06 Voting New York Times (04/20/07) P. A20; B. Driehaus
Following a 5 month audit, Ohio's newly elected secretary of state J. Brunner ousted Cuyahoga Country's entire four-member Board of Elections for numerous problems at polling places during the 2004 election. Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, experienced problems that included lines at polls several hours long, poorly trained and absent poll workers, polling places that opened late, and problems with electronic voting machines. The audit found that some batches of ballots registered in optical scan machines were scanned twice, producing a double count of those ballots, and other ballots were deleted because of flawed data and were never rescanned due to human error. The county used machines from Diebold Election Systems and Microsoft's JET file-sharing database system, which was known to have problems that could result in database corruption. Microsoft's S. Massey said any database is subject to corruption if a connection is lost while a transfer is in process. Massey confirmed the committee's finding that Microsoft recommended that a operation as large as Cuyahoga County's should use a different system. Former ACM President B. Simons said, "There is no excuse for Diebold's having used such an insecure and unreliable database. There were far more reliable databases available over 20 years ago." The audit committee has recommended extensive changes, including eliminating either optical scanners or touch-screen machines, to ensure future elections are less troublesome.
Lawmakers Call for E-Voting Paper Trails IDG News Service (04/18/07), G. Gross
US lawmakers are pushing to have paper printouts incorporated into electronic voting systems to ensure there is a paper record of voting results. In a highly contested congressional election in Florida, more than 18,000 voters failed to cast ballots on e-voting machines, and the Republican candidate won by fewer than 400 votes. G. Hillman, a member of the US Election Assistance Commission, warned Congress not to rush paper-trail requirements, as at least 180,000 direct recording electronic machines across the country would have to be upgraded or replaced. Hillman said introducing new equipment while trying to recruit and train poll workers for a presidential election, which is only a year and a half away, creates the possibility of colossal confusion. Missouri Secretary of State R. Carnahan called on Congress to create flexible time frames for any changes in e-voting requirements, telling Congress not to create expectations that are unobtainable for local election officials. R. Hite, director of information technology architecture and systems for the US Government Accountability Office, said several groups have voiced concerns about the security and reliability of electronic voting systems, and called on federal, state, and local authorities to focus their attention on correcting the very legitimate problems. An extensive GAO review found that many jurisdictions did not use the most current voting system standards, and many do not consistently monitor election performance.
The Memory Hacker
Popular Science (04/07) Vol. 270, No. 4, P. 66; S. Handelman
Memory restoration and a cure for cognitive dysfunction could be the key benefits of an implantable device designed to re-create thought, which University of Southern California neuroscientist T. Berger has been developing for the past decade. The project is in an early phase, but has reached an important milestone with the creation of a chip that is able to converse with live rat brain cells; Berger believes his concept is viable because cognitive dysfunction is, in his words, "essentially a signal-processing problem." Among the agencies underwriting Berger's project are the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Pentagon's Office of Naval Research, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Making the chip bidirectional--a sender as well as a receiver--is the major challenge Berger's team faces. The effort dovetails with Berger's long-term goal to reduce higher brain functions to a simple set of mathematical equations. The memory chip is designed to redirect sensory input--sound, sight, taste, etc.--around damaged hippocampal tissue by mathematically mimicking the functions of the injured neurons; the input signals would be intercepted, digitized, and processed by the chip, which would then convert them back to analog signals and reroute them back into the hippocampus. Among the technical challenges is devising a technique for reducing the heat output of the implant's transistors to prevent damage to healthy brain cells. Berger's work has courted controversy, with ethicists warning that the memory chip could shatter concepts of identity and alter healthy memories. Director of Dartmouth College's Neukom Institute for Interdisciplinary Computational Scientists R. Granger Jr. is convinced that "replicating memory is going to happen in our lifetimes, and that puts us on the edge of being able to understand how thought arises from tissue--in other words, to understand what consciousness really means."
Tragedy Spurs Renewed Interest in Mining Internet to Spot Killers Star-Ledger (NJ) (04/23/07), Κ. Coughlin
In an effort to prevent future tragedies like the one at Virginia Tech, the government is exploring a variety of controversial data-mining projects that search Web sites and documents for subtle patterns and associations that could expose potentially dangerous people, including shooters, terrorists, and sexual predators. R. Srihari, a computer scientist at the State University of New York at Buffalo and an expert on document analysis, believes these automated systems could catch potential criminals by scanning blogs, audio, and video files on Web sites such as MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube for clues of potential trouble. "It's not inconceivable to try and do that," Srihari said. "Are we there yet? Probably no. But does the technology exist and is it feasible? Yes. And I think we have to, for the safety of people." Privacy advocates are concerned the government could compile dossiers on millions of Americans using these data-mining operations. "The cost to law-abiding citizens is way too high given the remote possibility of benefits," said Jim Harper of the libertarian think tank the Cato Institute. According to the Government Accountability Office, by 2004, some 52 agencies had data-mining projects, or were planning to do so, with the Department of Homeland Security running nine programs and planning to create three more.
Gov't Straining to Secure Computer Systems Washington Post (04/19/07), Β. Krebs
Security experts from the Commerce and State departments told the House Homeland Security Committee's cyber-security panel on Thursday that federal computer networks are being targeted on an unprecedented level and that recent high-profile compromises at two federal agencies are visible symptoms of a government-wide security epidemic. J. Dixon, director of the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division (NCSD), said federal agencies are fighting and cleaning up after more digital attacks against their information systems then ever before. In 2006, the NCSD received reports on almost 24,000 security "incidents," ranging from attacks probing electronic networks to find vulnerabilities, to computer viruses, to unauthorized access of government information resources. Dixon said the NCSD is already on track to receive more than double that number of incident reports in 2007. "Report cards" issued by a congressional oversight committee last week gave both the Commerce and State departments failing grades, and the Department of Homeland Security, which is responsible for ensuring that federal information systems are protected and is supposed to lead the nation by example, received a grade of "D." "I don't know how [DHS] thinks it's going to lead this nation in security cyberspace when it can't even secure its own networks," Rep. J. Langevin, D-R.I., said. "Not only are these grades embarrassing, they're dangerous."
Open Source, Transparency and Electronic Voting Linux Insider (04/18/07), J. Mello
Critics of electronic voting systems are calling for any software used in voting systems to be made open source and fully transparent. University College Dublin in Ireland computer science lecturer and open source voting software researcher J. Kiniry said using open source software for electronic voting would add credibility to the process. Kiniry said with open source, "not only can experts evaluate the software and make sure it does what it says it does, but it also increases the level of trust that normal, non-expert users can have in that software system." Software engineer John Washburn pointed out a disturbing trend with electronic voting's reliability and testing systems. "Everyone who is not paid by a vendor who has looked at existing electronic voting machinery has found significant flaws," Washburn said. "Moreover, they've never found the same flaw twice. That tells me that that must be some defectdense code. Not only do you find something every time someone looks at it, you find something new every time someone looks at it." Speaking before a congressional subcommittee on elections, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) staff attorney M. Zimmerman said the EFF felt hindered, both as election observers and as legal counsel for voters who felt compelled to challenge election results due to malfunctioning equipment, by the lack of transparency in the electronic voting "closed technological regime." Some argue that creating open source voting software will expose electronic voting systems to hackers, but Washburn says that argument is based on the "security through obscurity model," and anyone who takes security seriously knows better.
P2P Worms Get Their Turn InfoWorld (04/16/07), M. Hines
Experts claim that botnet-driven mass attacks are replacing traditional worms as the platform of choice for a growing array of skilled and well-funded fraudsters. This trend is illustrated by the P2P, or Storm, worm currently evading anti-virus systems and propagating itself through botnet commands. The new breed of P2P worms are delivered through large networks of hijacked computers and have sophisticated techniques, such as exploiting private networks to contact external servers. Employed by a variety of customers for a variety of purposes, botnets are easy to use; single-purpose botnets can be abandoned after use, making pursuit even more difficult. Many of those involved in creating the attacks are from China and Eastern Europe, and criminal groups with pools of laundered money are becoming involved as well. Experts worry that organizations are consolidating to mount large-scale attacks with increasing professionalism, and urge the IT security community to prepare for the growing botnet problem.

There they are taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters who introduce Lily to a mesmerizing world of bees, honey, and the Black Madonna who presides over their household.

The Secret Life of Bee's is an enduring story set on a southern bee farm. The characters will enlighten and warm your heart. The Secret Life of Bee's is similar to many southern stories; however, the bee lore that Kidd interjects throughout makes the book unique and interesting. The Secret Life of Bee's is a heartwarming, feel good read. There are universal lessons about family and self throughout.The main character, Lily Owens is fleeing an abusive father and an all-consuming truth surrounding her mother's death. The Secret Life of Bee's is set in the 1960's when racial tensions and violence were at an all time high. Lily and her caretaker Rosaleen, leave town after a violent encounter with racists while Rosaleen was attempting to exercise some of her newly granted freedoms.Since the death of her mother, Lilly has a few precious clues as to her last days. The clues lead Lily and Rosaleen to Tiburon, South Carolina where they meet the `calendar sisters', May, June, and August Boatwright. The Boatwright sisters operate a successful Bee farm. Lily and Rosaleen are welcomed to the farm with open arms. Through her work on the farm, Lily is able to examine her past and begin to trust as she finds love again.The Secret Life of Bee's is the story of mothers. The reader will travel with Lily as she experiences each of the four remarkable women ~ Rosaleen, May, June, and August. Each of these women is a teacher and guide to Lily. It is through her experiences that she is able to discern that a mother is more than just a biological bond.A great debut for Sue Monk Kidd. I cannot help thinking that I would have loved to learn more about Boatwright sisters...maybe there is room for another story!
I gave this book to my 15 year old daughter to read and she came back after finishing it exclaiming, " All those mothers!" Motherhood and its powerful influence (both good and bad) on each of us is a central theme to the story and the quest for all that a mother implies (safety, acceptance, unconditional love)draws the reader immediately to Lily Owen, the 14 year old narrator. I thought this book had beautiful imagery, a nice balance of goodness overcoming loss, and most of all conceded to the power of redemption. Sue Monk Kidd did a wonderful job weaving the racial tensions of the 1960's into the voice of the main character and bringing us, the reader, along for the ride as the young girl discovers what it feels like to be discriminated against herself, the dangers of racial inequality, and the basic human elements that bind us to each other despite color or class. This story is about a journey of growth and addresses that fundamental need in each of us to find answers to the questions of who we are. I have found, months later, that The Secret Life of Bees is still with me and I recommend it over and over again.
"The queen, for her part, is the unifying force of the community; if she is removed from the hive, the workers very quickly sense her absence. After a few hours, or even less, they show unmistakable signs of queenlessness."The Secret Life of Bees is a wonderful story that brings hope and strength to those that are in the midst of a journey through life. The author, Sue Monk Kidd, does an excellent job of drawing the reader into the story. By the end of the novel, the reader has developed a relationship with the main character, Lily Owens, and leaves you wondering what else lies ahead
in Lily�s life. The story begins during the summer of 1964 in South Carolina. We are immediately drawn into Lily�s struggle with a vague memory of the death of her mother. Her mother was shot and killed in a freak accident when she was only four years old. Throughout Lily�s journey we discover more and more about her mother and her death.Lily�s journey begins when she goes into town with her African American housekeeper, Rosaleen. The Civil Rights Act has just been passed and Rosaleen is going into town to register to vote. On their way into town Rosaleen gets into a fight with three of the most racist men in town and ends up getting both Lily and herself thrown in jail. Lily�s abusive father, T. Ray, bails her out but on their way back they get into an argument about Lily�s mother. ��Not funny?� he yelled. �Not funny? Why, it�s the funniest goddamn thing I ever heard: you think your mother is your guardian angel.� He laughed again. �The woman could have cared less about you.�� This was absolutely devastating for Lily to hear. She knew she could not stay with T. Ray and live with his physical and emotional abuse. She also knew she needed to find the truth about what happened to her mother.She decides to break Rosaleen out of jail and travel to Tiburon, South Carolina. It is here where she meets the calendar sisters, May, June and August. While living with them Lily becomes engulfed in a completely different lifestyle from which she came from. She becomes an incredible beekeeper and develops strong relationships with the sisters. Throughout her stay with the sisters she begins to learn more about the truth of her mother�s life and the mystery of her death.Kidd does a remarkable job of drawing parallels between the life of bees and the life that Lily is leading. Each chapter begins with a quote about bees that directly relates to what happens to Lily in that chapter. The struggle that Lily went through when her mother was killed is like the struggle a hive goes through when they lose their queen. �A queenless colony is a pitiful and melancholy community; there may be a mournful wail or lament from within�.Without intervention, the colony will die. But introduce a new queen and the most extravagant change takes place.�While there is no real replacement for a lost love one, Lily finds an almost motherly comfort within the calendar sisters. Their relationships grow stronger until Lily begins to feel as if she is a member of the family. �It was how Sugar-Girl said what she did, like I was truly one of them. [�] They didn�t even think of me being different.� As Lily begins to gain the trust of the sisters she tells them the entire story about her mother, and her leaving T. Ray, and discovers more about her mother than she could have ever imagined.
If you liked Kaye Gibbon's "Ellen Foster" then Lily Owens will capture your heart. When her father, T. Ray, punished her by making her kneel on grits, I immediately knew that she was a survivor and he was a coward. May, June, and August Boatwright, the beekeeping sisters, and their Black Madonna honey were exquisite. May's tortured soul taught me about empathy gone awry. Sue Monk Kidd's strong southern storytelling skills are reminiscent of Reynolds Price and Harper Lee. In this her first novel, the writing isn't perfect but it tugged at my heart the way Barbara Kingsolver's "Pigs in Heaven" did. The characters, the time period and the small town setting made it similar to "To Kill a Mockingbird." This novel should be read by parents and teens together. I hope Kidd plans a sequel. I care so much about the characters that I yearn to know about their future lives.

Financial Literacy Quiz--What's Your Score?
Test your financial literacy. Why?

So take the quiz. It will help you determine what you know and what you don't know so you can take important steps toward improving your financial future.
Questions
Answers
1. A credit report is:
a. A list of your financial assets and liabilities

a. Annual Percentage Rate
b. Annual Penalty Rate
c. Annual Payment Rate
d. Annual Payoff Rate
3. Who insures your stocks in the stock market?

b. The Securities and Exchange Commission
c. The U.S. Department of the Treasury

c. 90 days
d. 120 days

b. 5 years
c. 7 years

b. One point is 1% of the purchase price, paid to the lender
c. One point is 1% of the loan amount, paid to the seller
d. One point is 1% of the loan amount, paid to the lender
7. The "Rule of 72" tells you how long it will take to double your money.
True
False
8. All telephone numbers that begin with an "8" are toll-free. True
False
1. (C) A credit report is a loan and bill payment history. Your credit report is used by financial institutions and other potential creditors to determine how likely it is that you will repay a future debt. Information in your credit report can affect your ability to get a job, a loan, a credit card, or insurance.
2. (A) It stands for Annual Percentage Rate. The APR is a measure of the cost of credit, expressed as a yearly interest rate. Usually, the lower the APR, the better for you.
3. (D) No one. Your investments in the stock market are not insured. Know the risks before investing in the stock market.
4. (A) The creditor has 30 days. The 709748 creditor must acknowledge your complaint in writing within 30 days after receiving it, unless the problem has already been resolved. The creditor must resolve the dispute within two billing cycles (but not more than 90 days) after receiving your letter.
5. (C) 7 years. Accurate negative information generally can stay on your report for seven years; bankruptcy information may be reported for 10 years.
6. (D) Points are fees you pay the lender for the loan. One point equals 1% of the loan amount. Points usually are paid in cash at closing. In some cases, you may borrow the money you need to pay points, but doing so will increase the loan amount and your total costs. There are different types of points. Be sure to ask your lender for the total points for a specific rate before signing.
7. True. The "Rule of 72" tells you how long it will take to double your money. To use the "Rule of 72," divide 72 by the interest rate you're getting. For example, if you deposit $3,000 into an account with a 2% interest rate, divide 72 by two. The answer--36--tells you that you will double your money in 36 years; in 36 years, you will have $6,000.
8. False. To date, only numbers that begin with 800, 888, 877, or 866 are free. And even then, there are some exceptions: Companies that provide audio entertainment or information services may charge for calls to 800, 888, and other toll-free numbers, but only if they follow the Federal Trade commission's Pay-Per-Call Rule. In addition, some area codes begin with an 8. For example, the area code 809 serves the Dominican Republic. If you dial this area code, you'll be charged international long distance rates.

From the Department of Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University, Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
W OMEN PHYSICIANS IN the United States were virtually nonexistent in the early to mid-1800s. Traditional medical schools still did not accept women, and few secretarian or eclectic medical schools were beginning to open their doors to female students. In 1849 at Geneva College, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman to achieve a medical degree in the United States. 1 At the time of the Civil War, the few women who had managed to obtain medical degrees mainly served as nurses in the war, because society was not yet ready to accept the female physician. 2 Dr. Mary Edwards Walker would help change the role of women physicians, becoming not only a valuable surgeon for the Union Army, but also a catalyst for the introduction and advancement of women in medicine.
appointment as an assistant war surgeon to Dr. J. N. Green at Indiana Hospital. 1, 2 Despite Dr. Green's need for an assistant, Dr. Walker was turned away because she was a woman. Undeterred, she traveled to Indiana Hospital to serve without an appointment and without pay. 1 During her time working at Indiana Hospital, Dr. Walker came to recognize the harsh approaches and largely unsuccessful medical practices of the time. Wishing to incorporate a more holistic approach to treatment, she obtained a second Doctor of Medicine degree in 1862 from Hygenio-Therapeutic College in New York. Her classes during that course of study mainly focused on hygiene and natural cures. 1, 3
Dr. Walker was born on November 26, 1832, in Oswego, New York, to Vesta Whitcomb and Alvah Walker, whose forward-thinking and abolitionist views shaped not only her childhood, but her entire life. Her parents firmly believed in education and equal rights for their five daughters. 1, 3 Dr. Walker would add to this liberal upbringing, reading about the first Women's Rights Convention as well as learning about Grahamite and Thomsonian views on temperance, diet, and herbal medicine. Among other influences, these would later have a profound impact on her life and medical practice. 1
In 1855, she became the second woman to obtain a medical degree in the United States, after three 13week semesters at Syracuse Medical College. 1–3 In the years after graduation, Dr. Walker began writing and lecturing on medical topics, temperance, and dress reform. She was even elected one of nine vice-presidents of the National Dress Reform Association at their convention in 1860. 1
The outbreak of the Civil War in April 1861 and the First Battle of Bull Run in July of that same year sparked a great need for physicians. That Fall, wishing to contribute to the Union's cause, Dr. Walker wrote to the Surgeon General, Clement A. Finley, requesting an
Address correspondence and reprint requests to Scott W. Cowan, M.D., Department of Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University, 1100 Walnut Street, 5th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107. E-mail: [email protected].
Fortunately, her studies did not keep her from the battlefield for long, and in the final months of 1862, she volunteered on the front lines in Fredericksburg and Warrenton, Virginia, as a civilian surgeon. After the Union defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg, more than 9000 Union soldiers had been wounded and needed medical care. Dr. Walker worked tirelessly to attend to these soldiers, receiving only rations and a tent for her service. 1, 3 Although not recognized by the army, her efforts were applauded locally as one newspaperman stated, ''Her sex ought not to disqualify her for the performance of deeds of mercy to the suffering heroes of the Republic. . . she can amputate a limb with the skill of an old surgeon, and administer medicine equally as well.'' 1, 2
Not satisfied with merely serving, Dr. Walker used her extensive experience with battlefield injuries and her recent studies in hygiene to try to change the current medical practice. While assisting General Burnside's Army, she observed that too many limbs were being amputated. She advocated for these soldiers, voicing which amputations she deemed unnecessary. 1–3 This was indisputably controversial; however, Walker wrote, ''I considered that I had a higher duty [to patients] than came under the head of medical etiquette.'' 2 The Walkers' neighbor in Oswego would years later notice the many soldiers that visited Dr. Walker later in life, thanking her for intervening and preventing the loss of their limbs. 1
Although still not officially commissioned, Dr. Walker would continue to offer her assistance on the battlefield, frequently traveling into Confederate
9
territory while donning her green surgeon's sash to care for wounded soldiers 1 (Fig. 1). During one of these missions, Confederate soldiers captured Dr. Walker and held her for four months at Castle Thunder prison in Richmond, Virginia, as a prisoner of war. 1–3 Not until two months after her release was Dr. Walker at last formally recognized as a surgeon on October 5, 1864. She was then hired as a contract surgeon for the Army and assigned to the Female Military Prison at Louisville. She would terminate her contract with the government less than one year later. 1–3 Unfortunately, physical ailments that developed while she was a prisoner prevented her from practicing medicine after the war. Never tiring, she studied law, wrote two books, and continued to petition the government for equal rights. 1
On November 11, 1865, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker became the first and only woman to be awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor for her ''patriotic zeal'' and ''valuable services to the government'' 1–3 (Fig. 2). This medal would be rescinded in 1917 along with 910 others as Congress passed new requirements that an individual had to be involved in ''actual combat with an enemy.'' 2, 3 However, Dr. Walker refused to return her medal and wore it everyday until her death on February 21, 1919. 1 Ironically the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote, would be ratified that next year.
On June 10, 1977, President Jimmy Carter restored Dr. Walker's Medal of Honor; to this day she is the only female recipient of this distinguished award. 1–3 Although her life and medical career unfolded at a time when society was unwelcoming of female physicians, Dr. Walker is remembered as a skilled and dedicated Civil War surgeon and a pioneer for women's rights. Along with the work of other female physicians and nurses of the time, her work helped lay the foundation to change the face of medicine. As described by Dr. Walker in her personal notes, ''My reason for my acts has been a strong conviction of that which I believed
was right. . . I do not deserve credit for standing up to my principles, for I could not do otherwise.'' 2

Claude E. Shannon’s
Noisy Coding Theorem
For any one-sender one-receiver channel and any $\varepsilon > 0$, there is a number $C$ (its capacity) such that one can transmit information with bit error probability $\varepsilon$ or less at any desired rate $R$ (in information bits per second) provided
- that $R < C$
- and that proper coding is used.
Conversely, if $R > C$, there is a positive lower bound on bit error probability that no amount of time, money, ingenuity, etc., can overcome.
A new field was born, coding, or, as people soon started to say, the use of “error-correcting codes,” which appeared as if it would solve all the problems of the communications engineer.
The 1950’s
The early attempts to apply “error-correcting codes” in practical communication systems were all utter failures.
Motto for the Late 1950’s (often heard in the corridors at Bell Labs where coding was born ten years earlier):
“Coding is dead!”
“The report of my death was an exaggeration.”
(Mark Twain, letter written from Europe and appearing in the New York Journal of 2 June 1897.)
What went wrong?
• We forgot that the modulation system is part of the channel seen by the coding system.
• Modulation engineers thought that the demodulator was supposed to make “errors” for the coding system to “correct”—what else could it do?
• Coding always expanded bandwidth because of the redundancy that it inserted into the transmitted signal. This was disastrous on narrowband channels such as telephone channels.
The 1960’s
**The Deep-Space Channel**
\[ C = W \log \left( 1 + \frac{S}{N} \right) \text{ bits/s} \]
where \( S = \) signal power and \( N = \) noise power.
This can more insightfully be written as
\[ C = 2W \cdot \frac{1}{2} \log \left( 1 + \frac{\mathcal{E}}{N_0/2} \right) \text{ bits/s} \]
where \( 2W = \) maximum number of linearly independent modulation dimensions that can be transmitted per second,
\( \mathcal{E} = \) average energy in one coordinate of signal space,
\( N_0/2 = \) two-sided noise power spectral density, and
\( \frac{1}{2} \log \left( 1 + \frac{\mathcal{E}}{N_0/2} \right) \text{ bits/dim} \) is the capacity of the one-shot additive Gaussian noise channel with average signal energy \( \mathcal{E} \) and noise variance \( N_0/2 \).
The one-shot additive Gaussian noise channel: \( y = x + z \) where
\[
E(x^2) = \varepsilon \quad \text{and} \quad \text{var}(z) = N_0/2.
\]
The necessary and sufficient condition to attain capacity is that the output \( y \) be a zero-mean Gaussian random variable:
If \( \frac{\varepsilon}{N_0/2} \) is small (say 1 or less), then bits are enough, i.e., binary modulation can be used with virtually no loss of capacity!
What went right?
• The importance of the coordinated design of the modulation and coding system was beginning to be understood.
⇒ soft-decision demodulation
• New emphasis on maximum-likelihood decoding rather than “error correction.”
⇒ convolutional codes (Elias)
• Decoding techniques emerged that could exploit soft-decision inputs.
⇒ sequential decoding (Wozencraft, Fano)
⇒ Viterbi decoding
But it was necessary to expand bandwidth with the coding system typically by a factor of 2 or 3 in order to make $\frac{E}{N_0/2}$ low enough so that binary modulation could achieve capacity on the deep-space channel.
This was no problem: Communications was power-limited, not bandwidth-limited, on this channel!
New Motto for the Late 1960’s:
“Coding is dead, except on the deep-space channel.”
Another way to see why the signal-to-noise ratio must be low for efficient use of the deep-space channel:
\[ C = \frac{1}{2} \log_2 \left( 1 + \frac{E}{N_0/2} \right) \]
\[ \text{bits/use} \]
\[ \frac{a}{b} \times 100\% = \text{energy efficiency} \]
of the one-shot Gaussian channel.
The 1970’s
Bandwidth constraints were still killing us on narrowband channels such as the telephone channel and coding seemed unable to help.
Signal-processing methods that made it possible to do adaptive equalization of channels were becoming practical.
⇒ Increased modulation rates (dimensions/s) and improved signal-to-noise ratio.
⇒ The golden age of modems!
Motto for the Late 1970’s:
“Coding is indeed dead, except on the deep-space channel.”
The 1980's
Ungerboeck’s Most Important Observation:
Fourier bandwidth depends only on the number of modulation components (dimensions of signal space) per second.
⇒ All forms of phase-shift keying use the same Fourier bandwidth.
⇒ The use of coding to expand the number of phases or the number of levels in a modulation symbol does not expand bandwidth.
⇒ The following coding system does not expand bandwidth:
Ungerboeck’s Second Observation:
Capacity considerations tell us how big a modulation signal set we need.
\[ C \text{ [bits/use]} = \frac{1}{2} \log_2 \left( 1 + \frac{\varepsilon}{N_0/2} \right) \]
When bandwidth is limited, bits are not big enough to be good modulation symbols. We need to use bytes [or modulation alphabets of about that size] if we want to use the channel efficiently.
Trellis-Coded Modulation became the new “buzzword” in communications engineering.
Modems were now designed with a coordinated coding and modulation system.
⇒ “Subset partitioning” of modulation signal sets.
⇒ Big improvement in information rates.
All kinds of new codes were invented for combined coding and modulation:
- Group codes.
- Lattice codes.
- Ring codes.
- Turbo codes (Berrou et al.).
Repeated decoding of “lousy” codes gives remarkable performance!
We finally understood how to deal with one-sender narrowband channelsjust when many-sender channels were becoming the more important ones!
"We have met the enemy and they are ours."
(Admiral George Dewey, message sent after the Battle of Manila Bay in the Spanish-American War when he had captured the entire Spanish fleet.)
"We have met the enemy and they are us."
(Pogo Possum's rephrasing of this famous message in his reenactment of the Battle of Manila Bay in Walt Kelly's cartoon strip.)
New Motto for the Late 1980's:
"Coding is indeed dead, except on the deep-space channel and on narrowband channels such as the telephone channel."
The new enemy was not noise but interference from other users. Coding doesn’t seem to be of help in combating this interuser interference.
New Motto for the Late 1990’s:
“Coding is dead, except on the deep-space channel and on narrowband one-sender channels such as the telephone channel.”
What is going wrong?
• We are trying to use single-sender modulation and coding ideas on many-sender channels.
⇒ The systems don’t work well at all.
• We have ceased to worry about the coordinated design of the modulation and coding subsystems.
• We are in a WSDN situation.
(We simply don’t know what we’re doing.)
We are ignoring Shannon’s 1961
Noisy Coding Theorem for Many-Sender Channels
For any $K$-sender one-receiver channel and any $\varepsilon > 0$, there is a region $C$ (its capacity region) of $K$-dimensional space such that user $i$ can transmit information with bit error probability $\varepsilon$ or less at any desired rate $R_i$ (in information bits per second), $i = 1, 2, \ldots K$ provided
- that the rate vector $\vec{R} = (R_1, R_2, \ldots R_K)$ lies inside the capacity region
- and that proper coding is used.
Conversely, if the rate vector lies outside the capacity region, there is a positive lower bound on some bit error probability that no amount of time, money, ingenuity, etc., can overcome.
The one-shot Gaussian multiple-access channel: \( y = x_1 + x_2 + \ldots + x_K + z \)
where \( E(x_i^2) = \mathcal{E}_i \) and \( \text{var}(z) = N_0/2 \).
Example: Capacity region for \( K = 2 \) users:
\[
C_1 = \frac{1}{2} \log \left( 1 + \frac{\mathcal{E}_1}{N_0/2} \right) \text{ bits/dim}
\]
\[
C_2 = \frac{1}{2} \log \left( 1 + \frac{\mathcal{E}_2}{N_0/2} \right) \text{ bits/dim}
\]
\[
C_{12} = \frac{1}{2} \log \left( 1 + \frac{\mathcal{E}_1 + \mathcal{E}_2}{N_0/2} \right) \text{ bits/dim}.
\]
There is no inherent multi-user penalty!
For simplicity, assume all users have the same power.
**What is possible:**
\[ C_{12\ldots K} = \frac{1}{2} \log \left( 1 + \frac{K \varepsilon}{N_0/2} \right) \text{ bits/dim.} \]
**What is being done today:**
\[ C_{12\ldots K} < \frac{1}{2} \log \left( 1 + \frac{\varepsilon}{N_0/2 + (K-1)\varepsilon} \right) \text{ bits/dim.} \]
We are not even doing a good job of treating the other users as noise! (In fact, their signals don’t look very much like noise.)
We are much, much farther away today from using multi-sender channels efficiently than we were far away in the 1950’s from using the deep-space channel efficiently.
⇒ It’s a great time to be a communications engineer!
What do we need to do?
Start treating the problem as a true many-sender problem, not try to reduce it to a single-sender problem.
- Interference cancellation?
(Rimoldi and Urbanke: Capacity can be achieved by each sender transmitting the sum of two independently encoded signals. Should the senders be transmitting modulation symbols in Batches?)
- Some other kind of non-binary modulation?
- Coordinated design of coding and modulation subsystems?
- WSDN
My prediction for the decade 2000-2010:
We will have learned how to communicate efficiently on many-sender channels—just when communicating on channels with feedback will be becoming the more important problem! Coding won’t seem to help us solve these problems.
Motto for the year 2010:
“Coding is dead, except on the deep-space channel, on narrowband one-sender channels such as the telephone channel, and on many-sender channels.”
Why will channels with feedback be important in the decade 2000-2010? Because virtually all communications will be in networks.
- Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and similar routing disciplines will be widely used. What do we do when the bucket leaks?
- Random accessing will be prevalent for wireless access to networks.
Shannon tells us that feedback can enlarge the capacity region of many-sender, many-receiver channels and can simplify the coding system needed to achieve a given reliability. But we know next to nothing about how to modulate and code efficiently for such channels. ⇒ another WSDN situation!
Some lessons learned by this old-time communications engineer:
- What we don’t know about communications is always a lot more than what we do know.
- Be suspicious of anybody who tells you that something can’t be done but won’t give you a proof for that claim.
- Be suspicious of anybody who tells you that he knows the “best way” to do something.
- Don’t be fooled by lots of complicated equations and reams of performance curves into thinking that the author/speaker knows more than you do. [We are all very ignorant.]
Communications engineering has been an exciting and stimulating field in which to work this past forty years—I expect it to remain so for at least another forty years.

Dear Commissioner Hayne,
I am writing with regard to some questions you posed in The Royal Commission Interim Report. The questions I address are:
1. What can be done to prevent the conduct happening again?
2. Is the law governing financial services and their conduct too complicated?
3. Is the regulatory regime too complicated?
4. Are APRA's regulatory practices satisfactory?
5. Are APRA's enforcement practices satisfactory?
6. Do the events that have happened raise any issues about business structures?
1. It seems clear that the banks need to be broken up to prevent the conflicts of interest between serving their customers and maximising profits for shareholders that seems to be at the root of so many of the bank abuses revealed by the Commission. Commercial banks need to be separated from all investment banking, stockbroking, insurance and other related entities. They should be limited to taking deposits and making loans to stop the reckless speculation with savings, superannuation funds and other customer assets.
2. The laws governing financial service entities and their conduct do need to be made simpler . The current laws have not facilitated risk management and have impeded effective regulatory enforcement.
3. The regulatory regime now in place is clearly unsatisfactory. The current Australian system, where "vertically integrated" banks are involved in commercial activities, along with investment and numerous other speculative practices has resulted in a plethora of abuses of power by these banks. This has been clearly demonstrated in many of the witness testimonies during the Commission hearings. A simpler and more transparent regime would make it easier for enforcement of the laws and more difficult for those laws to be abused.
4. Testimony at the commission has clearly demonstrated that APRA's regulatory practices have not been satisfactory, as to date the banks and bankers who perpetrated the abuses revealed have gotten away with them, repeatedly, for decades. A mere apology is certainly
not adequate. Such shady business practices would result in criminal charges being brought against the perpetrators in other contexts.
5. APRA's lack of action and lack of "real teeth" to deter the many abuses of power revealed during the Commission's hearings have allowed the banks to get away with their criminal behaviour. Control of APRA needs to be taken away from ex-bankers. It needs to be run by people whose main aim is to serve the interests of Australia and the Australian public, not the too big to fail banks. It needs to hold the banks and the bankers responsible for their misconduct. It also needs to be able to apply harsher penalties to both the banks and the bankers who fail to obey the laws.
6. The Commission has revealed that serious issues do exist with the business structure of banks. The most important and urgent issue is that of the vertical integration of banks. Commercial banks need to be separated from all other businesses.
Commissioner Hayne is to be heartily congratulated on his strong, no-nonsense conduct of the Royal Commission. The extent of the abuse of power and corruption by the financial institutions uncovered is both frightening and shocking. It is to be sincerely hoped that the Commission's findings will lead to genuine, positive changes in both the financial institutions and in APRA.
Yours faithfully,
Christine Dudley

Definitions
5. Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in these Guidelines have the same meaning as in CCPRRR, EMIR and the Delegated Regulations 152/2013 and 153/2013.
III. Purpose
6. These Guidelines are based on Article 9(12) of CCPRRR and issued in accordance with Article 16(1) of the ESMA Regulation. The objectives of these Guidelines are to establish consistent, efficient and effective supervisory practices within the ESFS and to ensure the common, uniform and consistent application of Article 9(1) of CCPRRR. They aim at specifying the range of recovery plan scenarios to be considered by CCPs when drawing up and maintaining their recovery plans and by competent authorities when assessing those recovery plans.
7. The objective of preparing the range of recovery plans scenarios is to identify a range of forward-looking events of severe distress, a CCP may face, against which the effectiveness of recovery measures and the adequacy of indicators contained in the CCP recovery plan can be tested.
IV. Compliance and reporting obligations
Status of the Guidelines
8. In accordance with Article 16(3) of the ESMA Regulation, competent authorities and CCPs must make every effort to comply with these Guidelines.
9. Competent authorities to which these Guidelines apply should comply by incorporating them into their national legal and/or supervisory frameworks as appropriate, including where particular Guidelines are directed primarily at CCPs. In this case, competent authorities should ensure through their supervision that CCPs comply with the Guidelines.
Reporting requirements
10. Within two months of the date of publication of the Guidelines on ESMA's website in all EU official languages, competent authorities to which these Guidelines apply must notify ESMA whether they (i) comply, (ii) do not comply, but intend to comply, or (iii) do not comply and do not intend to comply with the Guidelines.
11. In case of non-compliance, competent authorities must also notify ESMA within two months of the date of publication of the Guidelines on ESMA's website in all EU official languages of their reasons for not complying with the Guidelines.
12. A template for notifications is available on ESMA's website. Once the template has been filled in, it shall be transmitted to ESMA.
13. CCPs to which these Guidelines apply shall report to their competent authorities, in a clear and detailed way, whether they comply with these Guidelines.
V. Guidelines on CCP recovery plans scenarios
Guideline 1: Establishing the appropriate number of scenarios to be included in CCP recovery plans
14. A CCP should include in its recovery plans at least one actual scenario for each of the seven types of scenarios (as set out in Table 1 in Annex). The CCP should build each of these actual scenarios in a way that best fits its specific characteristics and level of complexity. When building these actual scenarios, the CCP should consider inter alia the list of 'issues and aspects to consider when building the scenario' (as set out in Table 1 in Annex).
15. By a way of derogation from the previous paragraph, a CCP may combine two types of scenarios into one actual scenario, as long as i) such combination of types of scenarios covers the full range of the underlying assumptions and considerations (i.e. the 'issues and aspects to consider when building the scenario') as well as all relevant types and sources of risk faced by the CCP; ii) such combination is accompanied by a rationale by the CCP explaining the reasoning behind such combination to its competent authority and be subject to the competent authority's prior approval; and iii) the CCP still creates at least one actual 'pure' default event scenario (i.e. a scenario of type 1, 2 or 5 or a combination thereof) and one actual 'pure' non-default event scenario (i.e. a scenario of type 3, 4 or 6 or a combination thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, a CCP may not combine more than two types of scenarios into one actual scenario.
16. A CCP should further assess, based inter alia on the list of 'factors to evaluate the creation of additional scenarios' (as set out in Table 1 in Annex), whether it is necessary to create additional actual scenarios for each type of scenario. The general principle to interpret the factors when evaluating the need to create the additional actual scenarios should be:
a) The applicability of any of the factors to the CCP's characteristics leading to a material difference in the:
(i) Availability or usage of recovery measures;
(ii) Order of usage of the recovery measures;
(iii) Path of loss propagation (e.g. from the CCP to the clearing members), which will greatly depend on the rules of loss allocation, which may be different depending on the origin of the loss (e.g. a different waterfall depending on the service considered, a different loss allocation depending on the origin or on the magnitude of an investment loss, etc.);
(iv) Impact on stakeholders;
b) The existence of subset(s) of entities that due to their material impact should be addressed with an individualised scenario.
For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph applies even where the CCP combines two types of scenarios into one actual scenario.
17. In addition, when evaluating the need to create the additional actual scenarios, a CCP should ensure, as outlined in Guideline 2, that its range of recovery plan scenarios provides a comprehensive coverage of all relevant types and sources of risk.
18. A CCP may test the related recovery measures using inter alia the list of 'quantitative assessment tools' included for each type of scenario (as set out in Table 1 in Annex) to produce quantitative impacts for the scenarios.
19. A CCP may include in its recovery plans further scenarios not specified in these Guidelines tailored to the specificities and operations of the CCP.
Guideline 2: Types and sources of risk to be covered by CCP recovery plan scenarios
20. The range of recovery plan scenarios of a CCP should provide a comprehensive coverage of all 'relevant types and sources of risk'. 'Relevant types and sources of risk', for the purposes of these Guidelines, should be understood as types and sources of risk (and their most plausible combinations) that may severely affect the financial soundness or operational viability of the CCP and create extreme stress situations, while remaining plausible, that would exceed the CCP's risk mitigation measures required under EMIR (i.e. 'business as usual' risk management tools, such as changes in risk parameters, increase of guarantees, trading limits, etc.), and may put at risk the CCP's ability to perform its critical functions.
21. Therefore, a CCP should assess which of the types and sources of risk, from the list below, are relevant to the CCP, and should ensure that its range of recovery plan scenarios covers all of those that the CCP assesses as 'relevant types and sources of risk':
a) Legal risk;
b) Credit risk;
c) Liquidity risk;
d) General business risk;
e) Custody risk;
f) Settlement risk;
g) Investment risk;
h) Operational risk (including fraud risk and cyber risk);
i) Systemic risk;
j) Environmental and Climate risk;
k) Market risk:
c) Linked to market movements;
d) Linked to the reduction of market availability (tradable volumes, availability and willingness to trade of market counterparties).
e) Any interconnected entity or service provider (in isolation or in combination), including:
f) Clearing members and clients, both direct and indirect;
g) Issuers of collateral or investment assets;
h) Interoperable CCPs;
i) CSDs;
j) Payments systems;
k) Securities settlement systems;
l) Nostro agents;
m) Custodian banks;
n) Settlement banks;
o) Concentration banks;
p) Payment banks;
q) Liquidity providers;
r) Group entities;
s) Other service providers required to perform critical functions during business as usual or default management situations.
Guideline 3: Principles for determining the magnitude of CCP recovery plan scenarios
22. A CCP should ensure that its recovery plan scenarios cover the situations that due to their severity would exceed the CCP's risk mitigation measures required under EMIR (i.e. business as usual risk management tools) and put at risk the viability of the CCP if no recovery actions are taken.
23. In this respect, the recovery plan scenarios should be focused on:
a) Scenarios of financial losses due to default events of a magnitude that would consume resources through the waterfall exceeding the prefunded resources calculated in accordance with Article 43(2) of Delegated Regulation 153/2013 or involving failures in the execution of business as usual risk management tools;
b) Scenarios generating liquidity needs in excess of the amounts calculated in accordance with Article 44(1) of Delegated Regulation 153/2013, involving failures in the execution of business as usual risk management tools or using different assumptions with regards to liquidity needs or availability of resources that generate as a result higher levels of stress;
c) Scenarios of financial losses due to non-default events of a magnitude that is likely to deplete a significant proportion of the amount of required capital to cover non-default losses as calculated in line with Delegated Regulation 152/2013.
24. Furthermore, with respect to operational risk:
a) The recovery plan scenarios should not cover the scenarios of operational resiliency already covered by the relevant policies and procedures required by Article 34 of EMIR (Business Continuity Policy, Disaster Recovery Plan, Business Impact Analysis, Crisis Management). The recovery plan scenarios should however include, if deemed relevant, scenarios in which all resiliency measures that form part of the policies and procedures required by Article 34 of EMIR are surpassed, leading to a failure in one or more critical functions of the CCP that exceed the requirement set out in Article 17(6) of Delegated Regulation 153/2013;
b) Furthermore, the recovery plan scenarios should cover the systemic risk effects caused by operational risk events affecting entities which are service providers to the CCP.
Guideline 4: Information to be included in the description of CCP recovery plan scenarios
25. In order to ensure that the range of the recovery plan scenarios, detailed by a CCP, are overall relevant and suitable, a CCP should aim at including the necessary information in its recovery plan scenarios to describe the circumstances and the relevant types and sources of risk that could put at risk the CCP's ability to perform its critical functions. In
this regard, the CCP may include the following information when describing the scenarios, account taken of the different range of scenarios:
a) The types and sources of risk relevant to the scenario; This includes secondary effects of the scenario that could materialise as long as the risk is relevant;
b) If multiple types of entities are sources of risk, how they are identified and how they could combine or interact;
c) The type of impacts: financial loss, liquidity shortfall, threat to operational viability;
d) The specific circumstances that could materialise and pose risk to the CCP; The scenario should not just identify the relevant types and sources or risk but also aim to specify how the risks could materialise;
e) Any specific particularities of the scenario regarding the path of loss propagation with respect to the CCP or affected stakeholders derived from segregation, ring-fencing or any operational rule that affects the path of loss propagation;
f) Any other specific clauses or legal aspects from the operational rules of the CCP or the national legal framework that needs to be taken into account for the scenario;
g) Any obstacles or circumstances that could create substantial practical impediments to implementing recovery measures.
Guideline 5: Maintenance of CCP recovery plan scenarios
26. A CCP should review and where necessary update its recovery plan scenarios, following Guidelines 1 – 4, every time the CCP reviews its recovery plan in accordance with Article 9(9) of CCPRRR.

BROMPTON
MADE IN LONDON SINCE 1976
EN
UNYOUR
The way people interact with cities was already changing quickly, but the impact of the pandemic has thrown an even sharper spotlight on active travel as a solution to keeping cities moving.
In our home city of London, and in towns and cities around the world, more and more people are discovering cycling out of both necessity, and an uncovering of the simple joy that can be found from exploring your local surroundings on two wheels.
If you find yourself looking at a Brompton having not cycled in a long time, or are a seasoned cycle commuter but are finding your eyes opened to the possibilities of a bike that can be taken easily on all other forms of transport, then you’re in the right place.
Get ready to unfold some happiness and enjoy your city in a new way.
Will Butler-Adams
CEO, Brompton Bicycle Ltd
Choosing your Brompton
Choosing a bike is about making sure it’s right for you. The right fit for your height, and the right style for the riding position you want.
We offer three handlebars that give a range of ride positions for every body.
**M Type** is the classic Brompton handlebar that offers the most well-rounded ride position for most people.
**H Type** gives a more upright ride (or a good mid position if you’re tall)
**S Type** offers a streamlined sporty position with the minimalist flat bar.
www.brompton.com/Bikes/Help-Me-Choose
Colour
With six standard colours to pick from, there’s something for everyone.
For 2021, we now offer the highly popular Black Lacquer option previously exclusive to Black Edition models, which allows the hand brazed joints and brushed tubing to shine through.
Steel
Robust all-steel frame, hand brazed in London. Made for real life, everyday city cycling.
Titanium
Our superlight option uses the classic steel main frame, but features titanium forks and rear frames along with other lightweight enhancements to make your Brompton experience lighter and faster.
These upgraded models are available preconfigured online or in-store at your nearest Brompton Junction and selected retailers.
Black Edition
Back in black. City life at night, cycling through town and finding new routes. Black Edition is styled for urban living; with anodized black components and high-gloss finishes in special colours: Black, Rocket Red, Turkish Green and now by popular demand, Flame Lacquer.
Black Superlight is also available as an option.
- Gloss Black
- Gloss Rocket Red
- Gloss Turkish Green
- Flame Lacquer
Each bike is still hand brazed and hand assembled at our factory in West London.
The all new luggage range
Our luggage collection suits a wide range of needs with quality and smart design featured throughout.
The Brompton bike was always designed with day to day city use in mind, and integral to that thought was the means to transport ones possessions for the day too. Two different families of style, Metro and Borough, both simply click on and click off the front carrier block.
Metro
These bags are perfect for the city commuter. Inspired by the classic messenger style, available in a range of sizes, and packed with helpful features for your journey.
Borough
These bags are suited to users with more flexible requirements. They are still great for your commute, but also for your shopping or a weekend adventure.
...or on an adventure.
City Apparel
The perfect folding bike for the city served as the inspiration for our City Apparel collection. Like a Brompton all the clothing and accessories in the range are designed to take you anywhere. We partnered with our friends at Endura to design products that are practical to ride in and just as easy to wear off the bike.
Upgrades & Accessories
Make it yours with our range of upgrades from folding tanwall tyres to hand made leather saddles from Brooks as well as our ingenious toolkit that fits into the front frame and makes light work of quick adjustments or repairs on the go.

Michael Hall School
Kidbrooke Park, Priory Road, Forest Row, East Sussex RH18 5JA
Inspection dates
1 December 2020
| Overall outcome | The school does not meet all of the |
|---|---|
| | independent school standards that were |
| | checked during this inspection |
Main inspection findings
Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils
Paragraphs 7, 11, 14 and 16
The Department for Education (DfE) commissioned Ofsted to conduct this emergency inspection following receipt of several complaints about the school. The complaints raised concerns about various matters relating to pupils' welfare, health and safety. The information shared confidentially with the DfE also raised questions about the school's leadership and management, including processes for dealing with parental concerns or complaints.
Previous inspections judged the school to have unmet independent school standards relating to the quality of education (Part 1) and leadership and management (Part 8). The quality of the education was not part of this inspection, so the standards in Part 1 and associated standards in Part 8 remain unmet.
All of the other standards checked during this inspection were met. The issues arising from the complaints received by the DfE do not correspond with other evidence about current arrangements for the welfare, health and safety of pupils, or the way the school handles complaints.
The school's safeguarding policy is published on the website. It contains the information required by the Secretary of State and sets out clearly the school's arrangements for safeguarding pupils. Leaders liaise with the local area designated officer on relevant safeguarding matters.
There has been a recent change of designated lead responsible for safeguarding. Circumstances mean that a full handover during this transition has not happened as hoped. Nonetheless, the new lead has suitable training and a sound oversight of safeguarding has been maintained.
The new designated lead has a helpful action plan of sensible steps she proposes to take to further strengthen the school's safeguarding arrangements. The new ways to make safeguarding increasingly systematic are well conceived and likely to support the school in ensuring its obligations are continually met.
Leaders have taken great care and remained steadfast to follow guidance about managing the risks relating to COVID-19 (coronavirus) despite some considerable resistance from some within the community.
Staff follow clear protocols for the supervision of all pupils, including in the grounds. Leaders have ensured suitable procedures are followed for the safe collection of young pupils from school.
A risk assessment policy and written risk assessments of the expansive grounds reflect the measures in place and were described by leaders and pupils as being aimed at keeping pupils safe.
Pupils feel safe and well supervised in school. They are confident that there is someone they can go to if they were worried or feeling unhappy, although one pupil commented that they might not have the chance because 'staff would spot them first'. Older students commented that the school's adults 'take time' with them 'and really care'.
The paragraphs that were checked in this part are met.
Part 7. Manner in which complaints are handled
Paragraph 33
The principles of the school's 'concerns and complaints procedure' are rooted in the school's ethos.
The policy meets all requirements. For example, it allows for concerns to be raised informally initially and sets out arrangements for making a formal complaint for unresolved matters. Arrangements for complaints panels meet requirements.
Records indicate a diligent and serious approach to dealing with complaints. Leaders' response is aimed not only at resolving concerns, but also learning from them to make the school better.
The paragraph in this part is met.
Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools
Paragraph 34(1), 34(1)(a), 34(1)(b)
The leadership and management of the school remains in a period of transition at trustee and senior-leader levels. Through this challenging period, leaders have ensured that standards relating to pupils' welfare, health and safety continue to be met. Their success in this respect is partly due to their positive response and willingness to review procedures when matters are brought to their attention.
Leaders are committed to seeking a cultural change in the school to ensure that it is continuously compliant with all relevant requirements. This has led to some turbulence in the school's community. Wherever possible, leaders aim to tackle the issues that arise strategically by strengthening policies and procedures. Trustees make judicious use of independent external advice to reach an impartial view, where helpful.
This term, the council of trustees has moved to restructure its committees and formalise the membership arrangements for them. However, it is too soon to see the difference these changes might make to the effectiveness of the school.
It was not possible during this inspection to assess the impact of the new leadership arrangements on the quality of education. During Ofsted's interim phase linked with COVID-19 restrictions, inspectors are not routinely checking these requirements.
The paragraph in this part remains unmet.
Compliance with regulatory requirements
The school does not meet the requirements of the schedule to The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014 ('the independent school standards') and associated requirements that were checked during this inspection, as set out in the annex of this report. Not all of the standards and associated requirements were checked during this inspection.
School details
This inspection was carried out under section 109(1) and (2) of the Education and Skills Act 2008, the purpose of which is to advise the Secretary of State for Education about the school's suitability for continued registration as an independent school.
Information about this school
At the time of this school's previous standard inspection, 26 to 28 March 2019, it was judged not to be meeting some of the independent school standards. A subsequent progress monitoring inspection conducted on 20 November 2019 found that some of the standards remained unmet.
This school adheres to the international Steiner Waldorf curriculum developed by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner.
Since the March progress monitoring inspection, the director of operations has left, and the director of learning has been appointed as principal, in overall charge.
Michael Hall School is a charitable trust company called Michael Hall School Ltd. The company members, known as the 'association', appoint the 'council' from among its ranks.
The chair of the council has changed twice since the time of the previous standard inspection. The new chair of trustees took up this position in Sep 2020, having joined the council in November 2019.
The school has an approved exemption from some aspects of the learning and development requirements of the early years foundation stage.
The school does not use alternative providers.
Information about this inspection
This inspection was commissioned by the DfE because of various concerns raised about the school.
The inspection focused on requirements relating to: pupils' welfare, health and safety; school processes for handling complaints; and leadership and management.
The inspector met with the principal, other senior leaders, the chair of council and another trustee. He spoke with a group of staff and two groups of pupils. The inspector scrutinised documents and records relevant to the independent school standards being checked. He observed arrangements for collecting primary-age pupils from school.
This inspection was conducted with 30 minutes' notice.

EXTRUSION LENGTHS OF BAL SEAL ® MATERIALS USED IN HIGH-PRESSURE SERVICE
Seals used in plunger pumps are often subject to pressures as high as 30,000 psi (2,109 kg/cm 2 ). These seals are subject to extrusion, depending on the temperatures, pressures and radial clearances.
Listed below are the extrusion values of various Bal Seal ® materials tested at pressures from 10,000 to 30,000 psi (703 to 2,109 kg/cm 2 ). The testing method for Bal Seal UPC-16 and GFP-10 materials is shown in Figure 1A. The testing method for Bal Seal P-41 material is shown in Figure 1B. Test results are shown in Table 1.

FIGURE 2:
Extrusion of Bal Seal seals and back-up rings when pressure is sustained for sixty minutes at 70ºF (21ºC) at the pressures and radial clearances indicated
Extrusion increases as pressure and radial clearance ("E") increases. Bal Seal P-41 material has the greatest extrusion resistance. No measurable extrusion was recorded at 30,000 psi (2,109 kg/cm 2 ) or at a radial clearance of 0.004 inch (0.10 millimeter). Optimum results are obtained when the seal is supported with a P-41 back-up ring and radial clearances are minimized.

New research has uncovered how decision makers view the challenge of legacy paper records in their organisations and what they’re doing about it.
The findings show how your peers are thinking about legacy records and the need to clean up paper files as part of the digital transformation journey – along with the obstacles that may get in the way.
93% of respondents stated a goal to eliminate paper records in the next five years.
**THE CURRENT STATE OF PAPER RECORDS**
Organisations store 70% of records digitally and 30% on paper.
Although the percentage of paper records is declining, one-third of respondents are currently storing over 100,000 boxes of paper records, and some have 500,000 or more. The volume of paper records remaining is still tremendous for many organisations.
**WHAT ARE ORGANISATIONS HOPING TO ACHIEVE?**
The survey looked into the most important factors around paper records cleanup and what organisations hope to achieve. The top factors motivating paper records cleanup are related to over-retention, organisational initiatives, and digital transformation.
**THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS ABOUT RECORDS CLEANUP**
- Easily identify records that are eligible for destruction (67%)
- Easily identify records needed to support a divestiture, legal matter, or other initiative (56%)
- Identify records that should be digitised to support our digital transformation initiatives (52%)
- Reduce programme costs and risks (46%)
- Easily associate and/or organise files by record type or category (31%)
- Improve find rates (17%)
**3 RECORDS CLEANUP GOALS**
1. **ELIMINATE OVER-RETENTION TO CUT RISKS AND COSTS**
- When you keep records beyond retention requirements, your organisation is exposed to litigation risks, security gaps, and the possibility of violating privacy rights.
- On the cost side, tens of thousands – if not millions – of dollars can be saved when these records are defensibly destroyed.
2. **IMPROVE VISIBILITY WITH ORGANISATION AND INDEXING**
- Find what you need, when you need it.
3. **SUPPORT THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY**
- 52% of organisations said that identifying records to support digital transformation initiatives is a top priority for them.
**DID YOU KNOW?**
On average today, about 1/4 of all paper records cannot be identified with confidence.
**WHAT’S STOPPING YOU?**
There are certainly challenges for organisations facing a paper records cleanup project, but the advantages outweigh the challenges.
**Top 3 CHALLENGES Preventing Paper Records Cleanup**
Challenges most often selected in the top 3 include:
- Lack of staff (50%)
- Poor metadata or index (41%)
- Commingled records in storage boxes (40%)
**WHAT YOU CAN GAIN**
When you actively manage legacy records, you’ll gain accuracy and consistency in the process. Outsourcing this process frees up resources to focus on higher-priority tasks and will likely save money over a do-it-yourself initiative.
**Top 3 ADVANTAGES of Outsourcing Paper Records Cleanup**
Advantages most often selected in the top 3 include:
- Frees up internal resources (61%)
- Cost-effectiveness vs. a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach (52%)
- Accuracy and consistency (defensibility) (51%)

English Collocations In Use Intermediate Michael Mccarthy
Teaching English covers all of the major issues and current trends in language learning and teaching, such as the trends toward empiricism, constructivism, differentiation, learner- and output-orientation, intercultural learning, and the use of multimedia. This book bridges the gap between the suggestions of theoretical approaches to foreign language teaching and the practical needs of both the educators (regardless of the institutions they are teaching and the experiences they have gathered) as well as the students. It will help readers profit from the materials and reflected practices for use in their own classrooms. And lastly, the book offers optimal preparation for exams in university courses and in teacher-training seminars.

We can describe meat as rotten, cheese as mouldy, milk as sour and butter as rancid - but we would not say sour meat, or rotten milk. Knowing how words are naturally used together is known as collocation.A good knowledge of these word combinations greatly improves the style of written and spoken language for non-native speakers.

Nutrition Therapy Coming in 2018
Eating and enjoying a meal is part of our everyday life and important to everybody, not least to people living with dementia. A healthy diet and nutrition is fundamental to wellbeing at any stage of life and to helping to combat other life-threatening diseases. We believe it plays as important a role in relation to dementia progression, and a resident's quality of life. Undernutrition is common among older people generally, particularly common among people with dementia. Undernutrition tends to be progressive, with weight loss often preceding the onset of dementia and then increasing in pace as the disease progresses. The mechanisms underlying weight loss and undernutrition in dementia are complex, multifactorial, and unique to each person. Common reasons include reduced appetite, increased activity, the need for a modified diet and, decreased nutrient
absorption. For some forms of dementia, it may be that central regulation of appetite and metabolism is disturbed as an inherent feature of the disease. Although we can't avoid these symptoms which lead to malnutrition and undernutrition, we can manage them with a variety of Nutrition Therapy Options. Orchard at Tucker's Four Tier Nutrition Therapy Program is designed to help combat under nutrition and bring back the joy of eating to those who have lost it.

Dreams by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.
America by Claude McKay
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, Stealing my breath of life, I will confess I love this cultured hell that tests my youth! Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, Giving me strength erect against her hate. Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood. Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. Darkly I gaze into the days ahead, And see her might and granite wonders there, Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand, Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.
If we must die—let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die—oh, let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! Oh, Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe; Though far outnumbered, let us show us brave, And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
I, Too BY LANGSTON HUGHES
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.
Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then.
Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
Harlem BY LANGSTON HUGHES
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
After the Winter BY CLAUDE MCKAY
Some day, when trees have shed their leaves And against the morning's white The shivering birds beneath the eaves
Have sheltered for the night, We'll turn our faces southward, love, Toward the summer isle Where bamboos spire the shafted grove And wide-mouthed orchids smile.
And we will seek the quiet hill
Where towers the cotton tree, And leaps the laughing crystal rill, And works the droning bee. And we will build a cottage there Beside an open glade, With black-ribbed blue-bells blowing near, And ferns that never fade.
Harlem Wine by Countee Cullen
This is not water running here, These thick rebellious streams That hurtle flesh and bone past fear Down alleyways of dreams
This is a wine that must flow on Not caring how or where So it has ways to flow upon Where song is in the air.
So it can woo an artful flute With loose elastic lips Its measurements of joy compute With blithe, ecstatic hips.
Black Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson
Don't knock at the door, little child, I cannot let you in, You know not what a world this is Of cruelty and sin. Wait in the still eternity Until I come to you, The world is cruel, cruel, child, I cannot let you in!
Don't knock at my heart, little one, I cannot bear the pain Of turning deaf-ear to your call Time and time again! You do not know the monster men Inhabiting the earth, Be still, be still, my precious child, I must not give you birth!
Foredoom
BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Her life was dwarfed, and wed to blight, Her very days were shades of night, Her every dream was born entombed, Her soul, a bud,—that never bloomed.

BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON A woman with a burning flame Deep covered through the years With ashes. Ah! she hid it deep, And smothered it with tears.
Sometimes a baleful light would rise
From out the dusky bed, And then the woman hushed it quick To slumber on, as dead.
At last the weary war was done The tapers were alight, And with a sigh of victory She breathed a soft—good-night!
Saturday's Child BY COUNTEE CULLEN
Some are teethed on a silver spoon, With the stars strung for a rattle; I cut my teeth as the black raccoon— For implements of battle.
Some are swaddled in silk and down, And heralded by a star; They swathed my limbs in a sackcloth gown On a night that was black as tar.
For some, godfather and goddame The opulent fairies be; Dame Poverty gave me my name, And Pain godfathered me.
For I was born on Saturday— "Bad time for planting a seed," Was all my father had to say, And, "One mouth more to feed."
Death cut the strings that gave me life, And handed me to Sorrow, The only kind of middle wife My folks could beg or borrow.
Mother to Son BY LANGSTON HUGHES
Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare. But all the time I'se been a-climbin' on, And reachin' landin's, And turnin' corners, And sometimes goin' in the dark Where there ain't been no light. So boy, don't you turn back. Don't you set down on the steps 'Cause you finds it's kinder hard. Don't you fall now— For I'se still goin', honey, I'se still climbin', And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
Speech to the Young : Speech to the Progress-Toward Gwendolyn Brooks
Say to them,
say to the down-keepers, the sun-slappers,
the self-soilers, the harmony-hushers,
"even if you are not ready for day
it cannot always be night."
You will be right.
For that is the hard home-run.
Live not for battles won.
Live not for the-end-of-the-song.
Live in the along.
Democracy: By Langston Hughes Democracy will not come Today, this year Nor ever Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right As the other fellow has To stand On my two feet And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.
Freedom Is a strong seed Planted In a great need.
I live here, too. I want freedom Just as you.
I Have A Rendezvous With Life Countee Cullen
I have a rendezvous with Life, In days I hope will come, Ere youth has sped, and strength of mind, Ere voices sweet grow dumb. I have a rendezvous with Life, When Spring's first heralds hum. Sure some would cry it's better far To crown their days with sleep Than face the road, the wind and rain, To heed the calling deep. Though wet nor blow nor space I fear, Yet fear I deeply, too, Lest Death should meet and claim me ere I keep Life's rendezvous.
A Black Man Talks of Reaping
BY ARNA BONTEMPS
I have sown beside all waters in my day. I planted deep, within my heart the fear that wind or fowl would take the grain away. I planted safe against this stark, lean year.
I scattered seed enough to plant the land in rows from Canada to Mexico but for my reaping only what the hand can hold at once is all that I can show.
Yet what I sowed and what the orchard yields my brother's sons are gathering stalk and root; small wonder then my children glean in fields they have not sown, and feed on bitter fruit.
Helene Johnson
```
Ah my race, Hungry race, Throbbing and youngAh, my race, Wonder race, Sobbing with song, Ah, my race, Careless in mirth Ah, my veiled race, Fumbling in birth — "My Race"
```
Sonnet To A Negro In Harlem
Helene Johnson
You are disdainful and magnificent-Your perfect body and your pompous gait, Your dark eyes flashing solemnly with hate; Small wonder that you are incompetent To imitate those whom you so dispise-Your shoulders towering high above the throng, Your head thrown back in rich, barbaric song, Palm trees and manoes stretched before your eyes.
Let others toil and sweat for labor's sake And wring from grasping hands their meed of gold. Why urge ahead your supercilious feet? Scorn will efface each footprint that you make. I love your laughter, arrogant and bold. You are too splendid for this city street!

Chairman Young called the meeting to order at 6:02 pm with roll call. Directors Elledge and Amundson were absent due to prior commitments. Director Balch was late and arrived shortly after the Flag Salute. Directors Young, Broadbent, Dumas, and Anderson attended the start of the meeting.
**Motion to approve the Agenda by Director Anderson. Second by Director Dumas. Vote taken, all in favor. Motion passes.**
**BOARD BUSINESS**
**Review Election Application**
Sheri Craig informed the board that all completed applications were received prior to the deadline. Seats 5 and 6 are unopposed therefore, Director Dumas will retain his seat 6. Michelle Van Beek will take seat 5 as Community member. All names will be on the ballot with Bryan Wheeler and Joseph Dadashadeh to run for Seat 4. Chairman Young did point out that the children’s names of Dadashadeh were in the application and will thus be removed before being posted.
**Motion to approve the four applications as received by the clerk by Director Dumas. Second by Director Anderson. Vote taken, all in favor. Motion passes.**
The clerk will contact Michelle Van Beek about joining the North Star Board of Directors.
**2023-2024 School Year Reduction in Force**
Andy Horning is asking permission of the Board to approve the policy of reducing a teacher. The reason for the RIF is because of the drop in students attending the classes in the program. The teacher is an excellent teacher and North Star is doing all they can to help facilitate this teacher in finding a new position outside of North Star.
**Teacher/Certified Pay Scale Proposal**
*Presentation included in the agenda packet.*
Joanna O’Donnell presented the current pay scale that North Star is using which is based on years of experience and education. Joanna is recommending that the Board approve retiring the current pay scale and adopting the new pay scale presented. This adoption would align North Star better to the State Career Ladder. This new pay scale would reward education, experience, and performance. Moving to this new pay scale will help to make North Star more competitive with the bigger districts around North Star.
Overall, the change will increase salary costs for the upcoming school year by an estimated $160,000.
Joanna is asking the board to approve the change before the Certified Staff contracts are issued. The administration would like to hand out contracts before the end of May.
Motion to approve the pay scale as presented tonight by Joanna by Director Balch. Second by Director Dumas.
Discussion: Is there a need to approve the issuing of the contracts? The board decided that there is no need to approve the issuing of the contracts if the board is confident in the pay scale that is being used.
Vote taken, all in favor. Motion passes.
The board recognized all the efforts that Joanna has put towards this change.
Financial Update
Presentation included in the agenda packet.
Overview of existing debt obligations, risk & opportunities
Jonathan Gillen explained North Star’s current Bond obligations. North Star has three Bonds: Class A, B and C, of those bonds A and C are being paid off. Class B is not being paid down at this time and accruing interest along with compounding each year. The board will continue to look at options as to how North Star can decrease this debt burden. One recommendation would be to build up the Emergency Fund.
No action, No vote.
Budget Review
Jonathan Gillen reviewed the budget and some expected losses such as Transportation revenue. He plans to present a budget review in May where the board will formally approve the revised 22-23 budget and the proposed budget for 23-24. Increasing the enrollment cap will help with state funding for next year. He also reported that he is working on creating clearer line items in the budget for reoccurring payments.
Budget Timeline for Budget Hearing - no action, no vote
Ratification of RFP decision & Ednetics Contract
A contract was signed with Ednetics to manage the network and update equipment for North Star. Ednetics was chosen due to their completed submission and competitive pricing. Ednetics was proactive in their bid and scored based on price.
Motion to ratify the approval of the Ednetics contracts by Director Broadbent. Second by Director Anderson. Vote taken, all in favor. Motion passes.
Board Contract Approval Policy
This policy was presented by Director Balch to the board as a first read. The purpose of this policy is to determine which contracts need to be presented to the board before being signed and paid. Discussion included the defining of a contract and whether there are contracts that as Head of School, Andy Horning, could sign without the board approval. Part of this policy states that all contracts will be reviewed by counsel before being signed. The board has asked that Director Balch continue with her
modifications according to comments made and will then present the policy for another read at a future board meeting.
No action, no vote taken.
**Grade Level Graduation Requirement Policy**
Andy Horning presented a first read of this policy. Changes include the removal of references to IB, showing the additional credits required for graduation and adjusting the sample class schedule to reflect such changes. Working on modifying the wording and updating what is being offered/expected at North Star. Chairman Young pointed out that the Honors section of the document needs more clarity to ensure the process is objective. This policy will continue to undergo changes and will be presented to the board at a future meeting.
**Annual Evaluation Processes for Administrative Staff**
Every employee is evaluated with teachers also being observed in the classroom. Counselors and teachers will be evaluated by the administration team. Andy Horning will evaluate Shay Davis and Will Bogdanoff. Shay Davis will evaluate Laiena Leatherman. The board will do the evaluation of Head of School, Andy Horning. All evaluations for Certified and Administration will be submitted by June 1, 2023.
No action, no vote.
**Safety Committee Policy 401.1**
*Presentation included in the agenda packet.*
Director Dumas gave a presentation about school safety due to the current national conditions. The recent shootings are showing where North Star needs to put more effort into our school safety. As noted in previous discussions the PA system needs to be changed, continuing training for all staff is a must and a discussion concerning the SSO wearing a weapon will need to be considered. The Safety team will continue to work on applying to any safety grants that could help offset the costs of a new PA system, training for staff and students, and additional structural reinforcement of some other areas of the school.
No action, no vote.
**Principal Reports**
Shay Davis and Laiena Leatherman reported that ISATS have started for grades 3-5. Geo, the IT technician, is working on-site to help with any technical difficulties that might arise with the influx of internet usage during the tests. Teacher in-service is on April 28th, with SESTA training included during in-service. The Idaho Dance Company came and performed for 1st grade due to a donation. The First-grade team invited any of the K-5 teachers to bring their classes in to watch the performance.
Will Bogdanoff reported that an assembly for 6-8 grades for cyber bullying presented by a Police representative was held this week. As a follow up to the presentation Will is visiting students and reviewing the North Star Bully Policy. Eighth grade is working on their “shark tank” project, finishing on May 24th with their presentations being showcased. Math Counts Club wrapped up their season with
the team taking 3rd in the region. One student qualified for State finals. The Secondary prom is Saturday and looks to be a success with more tickets sold than expected. Graduation ceremony will be Many 30th.

SWEETWATER, Texas — Rory Barnes used to rush home from work each evening to sit on his front porch and watch the sun set over the copper canyons of the Brazos River Valley.
But after 13 years of living in his dream home in central Texas, Barnes decided to move when he learned his neighbors had agreed to have several giant, white metal turbines installed on the edge of his property line, decreasing the value of his land and ruining his picture-perfect view.
“I have more respect for my neighbors and the natural beauty of the land than any money I’ll ever get from wind energy,” said Barnes, who has worked for more than two decades helping preserve the rolling plains and wildlife of Texas as a land manager for ranches.
“I’ve seen this time and time again,” he added. “They find the person who is willing to whore out their land, and the tumor starts, and the cancer spreads from there, and it covers the entire landscape.”
About 2,200 wind turbines were built in Texas in 2017, more than ever before, as wind industry companies try to snag billions of dollars in federal tax subsidies before they expire at the end of 2019. This has set off a wind rush nationwide, but it’s also set up a fight at the state level to regulate this overlooked industry without clipping its wings.
The rush is forcing state officials across the country to question if energy consumers are footing the bill without getting enough benefit from the projects — and to ask what happens to the more than 57,000 wind turbines nationwide after they stop producing energy?
Nowhere is this fight and uncertainty more palpable than in Texas, the wild west of wind energy and the home of the nation’s wind energy capital, Sweetwater, where the surrounding county boasts one wind turbine for every 12 residents.
Wind Rush
At sunset, outside one of Sweetwater’s largest wind farms, the crackling of the electricity from the transmission lines overhead that deliver energy as far as Dallas and Austin some 200 miles away adds an eerie tune to the brushland melody of chirping crickets and cicada songs.
The sky darkens and hundreds of red blinking lights, atop each 300-foot wind turbine, begin to appear in all directions, as far as the eye can see.
Larissa Place, assistant director of Sweetwater’s economic development office,
calls it “the red-light district.”
Place is responsible for attracting manufacturers and new wind energy-related business to the Texas city of fewer than 11,000 people. But she is also land manager Barnes’ girlfriend.
“I’m between a rock and a hard place,” she said. “My job is to promote wind farms and wind energy, and I do that because it’s good for the environment and creates jobs. But at the same time we’ve lost the ranch that we loved because of it.”
She and Barnes just wanted a place to get away and enjoy the beauty of the rolling plains and canyons of Texas’ hill country, but instead the area surrounding the 3,000-acre ranch they called home was being turned into what she called an industrial complex.
More than 1,300 wind turbines dot the hills of surrounding Nolan County.
Those turbines have helped the local tax valuation rise from about $500 million in 1999, when they first started sprouting atop the desert mesas and failing cotton fields, to more than $3 billion in 2017, according to County Judge Whitley May, who heads the Commissioners Court that governs the county and is responsible for approving wind farms locally.
“We were struggling, especially the farmers,” said May, himself a former construction superintendent who helped build wind farms all over the U.S. in the early 2000s.
Now more than 250 families in the Sweetwater area make a living from wind farms, according to the city’s development office.
In 2017, annual turbine land lease payments to Texas landowners added up to nearly $60 million and the capital investment by wind energy companies totaled $42 billion, according to the American Wind Energy Association, the national trade group for the industry.
But not everyone in Texas is a big fan of wind energy. Democratic state Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa said he’s for renewable energy if it can stand on its own.
“There is a good side to this: It’s clean energy,” Hinojosa added. “But you can’t subsidize it forever, and you have to have proper oversight to regulate them and determine where to build them.”
Last year, Hinojosa sponsored a bill that eliminates state tax incentives for new wind farms built within a 25-nautical-mile buffer zone around military aviation bases. The measure passed and is currently the state’s first successful attempt at regulating the wind industry since the tax incentives were first adopted in 1999, according to Hinojosa, who’s wary of the recent rush to build wind farms.
“They are building these wind farms to get the tax credit,” Hinojosa said. “They are not sustainable without the subsidies.”
Subsidizing Wind
Wind farm operators nationwide received nearly $37 billion in federal, state and local subsidies from 2000 through 2017, according to data from Good Jobs First, a nonprofit nonpartisan research center that promotes corporate and government accountability in economic development.
But federal subsidies make up the bulk of support. Since 2000 when the nonprofit began tallying the credits, federal subsidies have made up about 70 percent of all grants, including state and local programs. In the most recent fiscal year alone, federal subsidies totaled $1.5 billion, according to its data.
The Production Tax Credit is the primary federal subsidy, which pays wind farm operators for every megawatt-hour of renewable energy they produce in their first 10 years on top of what they are paid from consumers. Initially established in 1994, the PTC provides an inflation-adjusted credit that stood at $24 per MWh in 2017, according to the latest Department of Energy market report.
By comparison, Texas paid wind operators about 55 cents per megawatt-hour under its state incentives.
But the federal program is set to expire Dec. 31, 2019, and few expect it to be renewed in the current political climate.
“Who knows what a future Congress will do, but the current one is not likely to renew any type of credits,” said Gürcan Gülen, a senior energy economist and research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin’s Bureau of Economic Geology.
And President Donald Trump has made clear his preference, both on the campaign trail and now in office. During a rally in West Virginia on Aug. 21, Trump told nearly 9,000 cheering supporters: “In times of war, in time of conflict, you can blow up those windmills. They fall down real quick. … But you know what you can’t hurt? Coal.”
Politics have always been a key factor in the boom-and-bust of the wind industry, according to Gülen. He expects the same to happen this time around.
The PTC has expired four times in the past decade. Every time it has lapsed or been scheduled to expire, there have been peaks in production followed by significant lulls.
“Historically, the PTC has been a very effective mechanism in driving a lot of wind energy across the country, but it hasn’t been the only mechanism,” said John Hensley, senior director of research and analytics at AWEA. “States have also been helpful in driving wind energy forward.”
Wind Mandates
Today, at least 38 states, including Texas, have renewable energy standards
that both help set minimum requirements for the amount of energy produced and financially support the industry. At least a dozen of them have increased their alternative energy production goals since 2015. And Vermont, Oregon, California, New York and Hawaii have committed to having more than 50 percent of their energy come from wind, solar and other forms of green energy by 2045 at the latest.
While Texas set a lower goal of about 10 percent, wind operators here also benefit from more than just state subsidies and the patchwork of local and even school district-based incentives. Taxpayers paid $7 billion in the early 2000s to build transmissions lines that connect privately owned wind farms across Texas’ midwestern wind corridor to the state-owned electric grid after a 2005 bill established Competitive Renewable Energy Zones.
Texas also has one of the only free energy markets in the world, which allows the nonprofit Energy Reliability Council of Texas to pick and choose where to purchase energy depending on which form is available and cheapest at different times of the day. This has put wind energy on par with fossil fuels in the state and has even made it cheaper than natural gas when the wind is blowing vigorously.
Unfortunately for Texas energy consumers, though, the wind is fickle. According to ERCOT, it is least productive in the afternoon hours of summer — peak demand time.
In the past 20 years, Texas has added more than 23,000 megawatts of wind energy capacity, enough to power in excess of 6 million homes — or nearly two out of every three households. But analysis of wind turbine data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows turbines in the state have been operating on average only between 30 and 40 percent of their capacity and are most productive at night when demand drops.
Still, new wind turbines can be twice as tall, have a longer lifespan and be more efficient than older turbines, according to Robert Peña, an energy consultant and wind industry veteran who worked at some of Texas’ first wind farms.
In South Texas, such 500-foot turbines can catch even the “day winds” and produce nearly three times as much electricity compared with turbines built a decade ago, Peña said. And the renewable energy industry is working on batteries that can store the energy to be used when it’s needed, not just immediately as it is produced.
“That’s why it’s important for companies to continue investing and the government to continue subsidizing wind,” Peña said.
Regulating Wind
Amid the wind rush during the past three years, 31 of the 40 states with commercial wind farms have updated or created regulatory policies through statutes, zoning ordinances or other form of governance, according to North Carolina State University’s Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency.
In 2015, Virginia, Oklahoma and Connecticut were some of the few states that had regulations addressing decommissioning, the removal of obsolete turbines and restoration of the land. Since then, at least five more states — New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Maine — have added language to their policies addressing decommissioning.
But Texas has virtually no rules of any kind, making it an unregulated haven that attracts even more growth from the wind industry here. That worries some who fear what today’s rush will mean for the future.
A wind turbine has a lifespan of about 20 years. A 2016 study published in Texas Law Review estimates more than 29,000 wind turbines in the state will have gone out of commission between 2017 and 2030 at an average cost of more than $25,000 to tear them down and restore the land.
The study looks at the first wind rush during the early 1980s that took place in California, where an estimated 4,500 inactive wind turbines remain standing. The study, titled “Wind Energy’s Dirty Word: Decommissioning,” also compares the wind industry in Texas to the boom-and-bust cycle of the oil industry that left thousands of abandoned, dried-up oil wells.
Using the ratio of 6.9 percent of oil wells in Texas that were abandoned, the report estimates 3,600 turbines could remain standing if the regulatory vacuum continues, leaving taxpayers with the cleanup bill like they now face with the oil wells.
Tyler Fayles, a bartender by night and English teacher by day, feared that fate for the wind farm that was built on his own family’s property in 2001. When he was approached by the new owners of the wind turbines recently, he used the opportunity to update the original contract to include a decommissioning fund that forces the company to set money aside to ensure his land is restored once the wind turbines stop producing energy — or if the operator goes bankrupt.
“My grandfather was one of the first ones to sign up with the wind farms, so he didn’t really have anyone to ask for help or to use as a reference for how much they should be paying him or what should be included in the contract,” Fayles said. “This time, I got a lawyer and he helped make sure we weren’t
getting shortchanged and that we were protected in case anything happened.”
Democratic state Rep. Terry Canales wants to go beyond the need for such individual deals. In February 2017, Canales, who sits on the House Energy Resources Committee, introduced a bill that would task the state with ensuring the decommission of the more than 10,000 wind turbines operating statewide in case the industry flatlines.
Canales’ bill also aimed at making the contracts between wind farm operators and landowners more transparent so everyone could know how much their neighbor is getting paid for the energy being produced by the wind turbines on their land.
“Currently in Texas, there is little to no regulation with respect to wind energy,” Canales said. “The spectrum that lies unregulated ranges from land owner’s rights to state control over entire windmill fields.”
The bill passed the Energy Resource Committee but died before making it to the House floor.
Today, the U.S. has more than 57,000 wind turbines nationwide, with a wind rush underway to build more before a federal subsidy expires in 2019. Here, a wind turbine is shown under construction. Invenergy
The Future of Wind
A proposed project called Wind Catcher Energy Connection was slated to be the largest wind farm in the U.S., with power lines stretching across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.
But Texas Industrial Energy Consumers, a group representing the state’s largest power consumers such as chemical and steel plants, argued in a brief to Texas officials that the wind farm would have been built at the expense of taxpayers because of federal policy changes under President Donald Trump.
In July, just weeks before construction was scheduled to start, the Public Utility Commission of Texas shot down the $4.5 billion project, arguing it would not have benefited customers.
Lawmakers and state officials in Texas are not the only ones looking more closely at the industry than ever before, and the current political climate seems to be signaling that the prevailing winds may be shifting.
Down Broadway Avenue, past the feed stores and the Mustang Donut shop named after the high school’s mascot, a mix of boarded-up convenience stores sit alongside new boutiques, restaurants and warehouses. Most of the new shiny metal buildings are storefronts and local offices for businesses that service the wind industry.
Across the street from the donut shop, in one of the older buildings that predates the rush, Russ Petty makes fliers, signs and other print products at his shop, Creative Graphic Solutions. He’s weathered the lulls that have struck Sweetwater in the past, and today business is good. Many of his customers are part of the wind industry.
On the land he owns out in the county, where he grows cotton and raises cattle, he’s dealt with abandoned oil wells, but he’s also been pleased to see the recent repowering of wind turbines on his property as the industry reinvests in the area.
“I guess a lot of us are so optimistic that this will continue,” Petty said. “But realistically that’s not going to be the case. Is it 10 years from now? Is it 50 years from now? Nobody knows.”

Dear John,
Thank you for the latest "Phylaxis" that arrived today and for continuing to publish the Prince Hall letters. Congratulations on being awarded the honour of Man of the Year 2009. I see from the article on page 7 that the award is not given every year, so you must be very proud. John Rodriguez's letter on page 5 brought home to me the importance of those Prince Hall letters and made me doubly glad that we had photographed them. Your members might like to know that the Library and Museum has a collection of
Dear Sir,
I embrace this opportunity to acquaint you that we sent by the bearer, our well beloved Newport Daves, a letter to our worthy Deputy Grand Master, together with one guinea for charity to the Grand Lodge, which I hope you will receive safe as we have sent sundry times and have not known whether you received them or not. We sent ten dollars in August 1788 by Captain Scott, and by the Rev. John Marrant on February 2 nd 1790 one guinea, all of which we hope you have received and, if not, we should be glad if your Worship would inform us of it, that we may know how to conduct ourselves for the future, that when we send anything for so good a purpose you may receive it safe, be it ever so little. So, no more at this time, but I beg leave to subscribe your humble servant and loving Brother,

HRC Letter to Council, regarding the response to the current pattern of incidents of hate in Palo Alto
DRAFT ONLY
One of the Human Relations Commission's leading roles is listening to community concerns —and then taking action. Over the past few months, the people of Palo Alto have brought to our attention several hate-based crimes, which have targeted churches, minorities, and those supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.
This year, our communities experienced:
* the desecration and vandalization of the University African Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest black church in Palo Alto
* the unauthorized removal of First Congregational Church of Palo Alto's Black Lives Matter sign
* the posting of a "Wuhan Virus" sign in front of a popular coffee shop
* the posting of derogatory signs at three school properties this spring, referring to COVID-19 as the "Chinese Virus."
* the verbal assault of a Palo Alto Council Member because of his Asian ethnicity
* the defacement of a campaign poster of the only Black candidate for council with a White Lives Matter Sign
* the distribution of "White Matters" letters at private homes (see attached photo)
* the defacement of a student art Black Lives Matter project by an assailant wearing MAGA paraphernalia
* the vandalism and removal of at least ten BLM signs (see attached sheet)
These incidents in 2020, along with other incidents in recent years— including the unauthorized leaving of anti-LGBTQ materials at the library and antisemitic materials at Gunn High School—shows a disturbing trend. As a community, we need to address this problem at the root. We can no longer excuse these events as "one-off incidents" or pranks where "kids are just being kids." We see a repeated pattern of hate, and it is time for us to stand and actively address these issues.
In Washington last week, lawmakers, grandmothers, CEO's, and others stormed the Capitol. Several people from our area attended this insurrection and participated in violent activity. We need our council to state that we are a city that doesn 't accept this. We need our city to arrest and prosecute individuals involved in hate crimes to the maximum extent of the law. We ask the council to direct staff to create programs that educate on hate crimes in our city.
In this critical time we need the City Council as the highest elected official in our city to lead and come out emphatically against the surge of hate in our community.
Human Relations Commission Rev. Kaloma A. Smith, Chair Valerie Stinger, Vice Chair

BLM Lawn Signs
Jessica Clark
Steven a few weeks back our BLM sign was trashed in the bushes 2x in one week, I didn't notify police. This problem is more prevalent than documented I believe.
Xiaowei Shi
our BLM sign was removed from our lawn as well!
Mary Jo Ricci
Mine and at least one other flyer on our street 7/22. Reported.
Alison Wauk
My BLM sign disappeared a week or two ago.
James Gaddy
This is the letter I got in response to me BLM sign in Palo Alto.
Terry Roberts
I had a BLM sign stolen from my yard in PA a few weeks ago. Hopefully another one is arriving soon. If this one disappears, too, I'll start making my own from cardboard. Can't let the vandals win.
Namita Gupta
My Black lives matter yard sign was posted over with a white lives matter poster -- which, ironically, said 'be proud of your race' (I'm a POC). Another paper with rants (which also made many presumptions about my race, gender, affiliations etc..) was stuck to the sidewalk. (I dont want to share pictures here to reduce publicity)
Regina Emore
A friendly and vigilant neighbour who had this happen to his sign, and others in the neighbourhood pointed this out to me. Clearly not an isolated incident.
Have you had this happen to you, and do you have suggestions on what we can do as a community?
Maybe put up more BLM signs to keep our friend busy (and hopefully someone with an outdoor camera may spot them in the act)?
Also given some of the language and logical inconsistencies in the poster - they may need mental health support?
I'm not concerned about safety (though they did need to come onto my property to do this) Palo Alto remains a very safe and inclusive place. Maybe we can think of ways to demonstrate what a safe and inclusive community we are, to our hot and run poster?
Best wishes
Regina Emore
Smita Kolhatkar
Our signs and our neighbour's are within our property. Someone left a white lives matter flyer with tape near one of our signs and a neighbor's. One kind soul in the neighbourhood, took pictures of the white lives matter signs on his and our properties in the neighbourhood and reported the incident to the police, then removed those flyers. The flyers haven't appeared since. The flyers were placed on our respective properties and that is not done. In 20+ years of living in Palo Alto, I have not seen this and it is sad. I would suggest whoever had this happen, if the person's signs were placed on your property, please take a picture and report it.
Robin Blair
They got a house in Greenmeadow last night. On Shasta. I saw the glued sign but I was driving and didn't see anything else.
Rebecca Olson White (on a FB group)
Our two posters were stolen a week apart.

Johanna Billing
15 Years of You Don't Love Me Yet, 2002-2017
O
pening Saturday, 30 December 2017, 7 p.m.
30.12.17 – 15.03.18
During the You Don't Love Me Yet live tour (2002—2017) local musicians, in 26 different cities were invited to cover the eponymous 1984 love song penned by Texan singer-songwriter Roky Erickson. In a diverse range of
interpretations, each version reflected the participants' own personal style. In Teatro Garibaldi in Modica, Billing with Laveronica will organise a concert celebrating fifteen years of the project with fifteen new cover versions
performed by local musicians and singers in continuous repetition over an afternoon on December 30th.
Accompanying the performance an archival presentation with documentation from previous events, including roughly 300 cover versions will be on display in an exhibition at Laveronica Gallery.
Laveronica Arte Contemporanea is delighted to present the exhibition 15 Years of You Don't Love Me Yet, 2002-
2017
by Johanna Billing. The exhibition looks back at the project where the cover version has been used as a catalyst to explore ways of maintaining originality as well as artistic integrity both on an individual and collective
level. The ambivalence of the love song has been simultaneously used to explore the hesitant relationship between music and art. The first rendition of You Don't Love me Yet took place at Index– The Swedish Contemporary Art
Foundation in Stockholm in 2002 in which 21 acts each performed a version, in what turned out to become a very special repetitive micro-moment and portrait in time and place. What started as a local, and single event soon
became an international phenomenon in which other musical communities wanted to share.
The initial performance event emerged from and sought to articulate observations that Johanna Billing held about
Swedish society at the time [graduating from art school at the end the of 90s]. A drive towards individualism and independence had forged social norms, conventions and desires. The ambivalence towards themes grounded in
relationships, or collaboration were also perhaps a rebuttal of the collectivism that had supposedly characterised
Sweden's recent social past. Billing herself emerged from a cross art form practice, heavily involved in the independent music scene as writer, arranger, DJ as well as running her own record label make it happen (1998–
2010). The organisational aspect of the project, to work with musicians on music's own terms, served as a key to the work and enacted a reflective response to the then growing interest in the art world in musical performances in
galleries at openings and to 'enliven' the institutional context.
The practical aspect of the tour involved collaboration between music promoters from local venues and art institutions as a way to investigate and question the hierarchies between the different scenes as well as their respective modes of production, evaluation and expectations of 'artistic content'. Over 15 years, the constant repetition and production, from Stockholm to Toronto via Madrid, demonstrated an insatiable appetite for collectivism, for forums that included both amateurs and professional musicians alike from all ages, enacting the format of the band on tour where limitless performances can only be seen as desirable in opposition to the prestige and rarefication often on offer in the visual art context.
To celebrate the multitudinous life of the project, a free online video archive will be launched during the exhibition in Modica, making it an accessible as a point of reference for the first time.
Johanna Billing, born in 1973 in Jönkoping, Sweden attended Konstfack, International College of Arts, Crafts and Design, in Stockholm where she has lived and worked with video, film and performance since graduating in 1999. Recent solo exhibitions include, Keeping Time, Villa Croce (2016), Pulheim Jam Session, Glasmoog, Cologne (2015), I'm Gonna Live Anyhow until I Die, The Mac, Belfast (2012). She has participated in survey shows such as The Off Biennale Budapest, (2017), 4th Auckland Triennial, Auckland (2010), Documenta 12, Kassel (2007); Singapore Biennale (2006), 9th Istanbul Biennial; 1st Moscow Biennale (2005) and 50th Venice Biennale (2003).

Draft Carers Strategy for Herefordshire Outline/executive summary
Vision
Our vision is that Herefordshire is a county where people who carry out the role of unpaid carer are known and valued within our health and care community.
We will make this vision a reality by
Making it easy for carers to find good information and support for themselves and the personthey care for.
Recognising when someone is a carer and proactively offering information and support.
Using the knowledge carers have gained to continuously improve the design, delivery and access to services.
Providing support to enable carers to keep well and access social, educational and employment opportunities.
Developing the strategy
The strategy is being written in collaboration with carers in Herefordshire.
The value of unpaid carers to those whom they care for and to the community of Herefordshire, is far greater than monetary value. It is clear that demand for services within the county will continue to grow and that national funding will not be increased to meet this. Services and providers need to join their thinking and work smarter in terms of delivering services which address the priorities and key issues facing carers.
Numbers of carers are increasing nationally and locally to support the growing population of people with care and support needs. The 2011 Census showed that 20,627 adults in Herefordshire see themselves as carers whilst a survey in the same year estimated there to be 34,200 carers.
Carers' experiences and outlook vary: many choose to identify as partner, family member or friend rather than carer and their priority is that the needs of the cared for person are met.
What carers say about being a carer – common themes:
* Carers try to cope despite the frailty of their situation, often neglecting their own wellbeing and may only be identified at the point of crisis.
* Responsiveness to carers is often poor across universal services including health services.
* Carers often feel professionals do not respect or listen to them.
* Social isolation is very common, with people losing contact with social networks and having little time for themselves. This is supported by national research.
* Caring has a big impact on people's work, career and income.
* Caring has a significant impact on health, with full time carers being at heightened risk of long term conditions, mental ill health, self-neglect and undiagnosed health needs. Services seldom address the needs of carer and cared for holistically.
* There is worry about reduction to existing services.
* Carers are keen to contribute to the design and review of services
In addition to the common themes above, more specific themes have emerged which are dependent on the type of caring role a carer has.
Young carers
o specific issues around school
o inconsistent support services
o concern about being labelled
Parent carers
o may provide care for longer and take longer to identify as carers
o have to negotiate multiple services and professional cultures and are most likely to provide mutual support
Working carers
o face daunting challenges in balancing employment and caring
o can experience significant loss of income and long term impact on their skills, confidence and career prospects
Older carers
o many have health needs or are disabled
o are the most likely group to be caring for someone with dementia
o are especially vulnerable to isolation, services not being joined up or being unresponsive
Former carers
o many experience a loss of sense of identity after the death of a loved one
o often feel isolated, forgotten and lacking in purpose
Strategic Priorities
Priority 1 - Identifying carers, registration and aligning to information and support
1.
Promote early identification among carers, professionals and universal services.
2. Re-launch a carers' register which is integrated with
NHS and council systems to promote seamless services.
3. Provide an opt-out for carers who do not wish for their data to be shared.
4. Link identification to information and advice on schemes which support carers to plan for emergencies,
including access to urgent care.

| 4. WISH will be the main vehicle for providing information and signposting in Herefordshire. | | | |
| 5. WISH will be upgraded and improved with more effective search functions. All services will be encouraged to use WISH and show carers how to use it. | | | |
| 6. WISH will become more interactive with areas for social networking and discussion forums. Carers will be able to share ideas and information as well as challenge services. | | | |
(please tick)
Agree Disagree Unsure
Priority 3 - Valuing carers knowledge and experience
1.
Recognise the skills and knowledge many carers have before they become carers, plus the expertise that they
gain through their caring role.

improving services.
3. Carers will be directly involved in monitoring and reviewing the performance of contracted services.
Comments
| | Priority 4 – Networking and mutual support | Agree | Disagree |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Social media and technology offer great potential for carers to provide mutual support and exchange information. | | | |

| 3. Online platforms for interactive exchange and support via social media will be provided by WISH and encouraged elsewhere. | | | |
Comments
Agree Disagree Unsure
Priority 5 - Access to universal services
(Universal services are services which people have regular access to,
such as pharmacies, GPs, schools and libraries).
Agree Disagree Unsure
1. Universal service providers will be encouraged to adapt their services to take into account the needs of carers.
2. Consideration will be given to how carers can be
involved in challenging and advising service providers.
3. All services and providers should identify carers, signpost and provide support from first contact.
4. Training and awareness-raising will be undertaken
among providers and professionals.
Comments
| | Priority 6 – Assessments and carers | Agree | Disagree |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. The purpose of carers’ assessments will be made clearer. | | | |
| 2. The role and function of other assessments involving carers will be clarified amongst carers and professionals through a programme of awareness raising. | | | |
| 3. Assessments for carers and the cared for person will be interdependent. | | | |
| 4. Assessments will be based upon the strengths of the cared for person, the carer, their family and community.wherever possible | | | |
| 5. Where appropriate, carers will participate in any assessment of the cared for person. Their contribution will be valued and recorded consistently across sectors and services. | | | |
| 6. Young carers’ needs will be assessed in line with best practice including when transitioning to adulthood. and | | | |
| 7. Ways for carers to be involved in hospital discharge planning will be explored. | | | |

Illinois Still Jeopardizing Health of Children, People with Disabilities, and Elderly Across the State by Avoiding Court-Ordered Payments for Medicaid-Funded Health Services
State Ordered to Work with Legal Advocates to Ensure Access to Health Care
Today, Judge Joan Lefkow of the United States District Court entered an Order requiring state officials to make all fiscal year 2016 Medicaid payments to providers statewide who serve Illinois Medicaid patients that would have been made by now if there was not a budget impasse. The federal court order directs the State of Illinois to work in good faith with the attorneys for the Medicaid beneficiaries to ensure that—despite a state budget stalemate—low-income Illinoisans have access to life-saving medical services, and that providers are not forced out of business due to lack of timely Medicaid payments. The Order was entered after a court hearing on August 26, 2015 when attorneys from the Shriver Center and Legal Council for Health Justice (formerly AIDS Legal Council of Chicago) returned to federal court to hold the State of Illinois accountable to reimburse medical providers statewide for Medicaid-funded care provided since July 1, 2015. This is the second order issued in less than two months as advocates seek to enforce the guarantee of access to health care services to children that had been originally secured in a landmark lawsuit, Memisovski v. Maram, in 2005, with pro bono assistance from the Chicago law firm, Goldberg Kohn, and health care services for all Illinoisans statewide as the result of Beeks v. Bradley, a case that requires Illinois to pay for Medicaid pending passage of a fiscal year 2016 budget.
The State had earlier been required to pay medical providers serving Cook County children and had also indicated that all Medicaid providers statewide would be paid. This failure to comply with a federal court order puts millions of vulnerable Illinoisans in harm's way and additionally endangers safety-net providers, which are an essential part of our health delivery system. Indeed, some medical providers in Illinois have been delaying payment of salaries, taking out additional business loans, and facing closure or staff layoffs because of the State's failure to make Medicaid payments that would have been made absent the state budget impasse.
Shriver Center president John Bouman warns, "We are now seeing the very real threat to the vital functions of government caused by the failure to produce a budget. The policy disputes now blocking the budget should be fought out on some other battlefield. Carrying out and paying for the vital functions should be the first priority of governing."
Of the 3.1 million Illinois residents enrolled into Medicaid-funded services statewide, the majority of recipients are children, elderly, disabled, or members of working households. Tom Yates, executive director of Legal Council for Health Justice, notes, "We are in crisis mode now. I expect to see health care providers who provide vitally important services for Medicaid-eligible children, seniors, and persons with disabilities could either stop taking Medicaid reimbursement or go out of business. Without federal court action to require the State to meet its obligations, these Medicaid recipients and the medical providers who serve them are at risk of irreparable harm."
The Illinois Department of Health Care and Family Services (DHFS) had originally notified health care providers on July 10 th that the agency would discontinue Medicaid payments pending passage of a fiscal year 2016 budget.

James Rabe (00:00):
Well, I got men dot Mike on the phone, Mike Doherty from Mendota, this med city mover. Some folks are upset that is going so slow. What's what is the story with the meds? And he move her mic.
MnDOT Mike (00:08):
Well, it's, um, it's going about 15 miles an hour, but it will slow down at intersections. It's a, uh, a driverless shuttle and it's a pilot project that we're, we're doing and kind of getting information of how it operates within traffic like that. So, um, you know, people do get impatient, uh, but if you really look at the route, it's only going, you know, a matter of few blocks in each direction. So, um, while it might cause you a momentary delay, um, you know, is your delay 20 seconds later to get to the stoplight or 30 seconds later to get to the stoplight? I mean, it is, it does move slower. It's, it's, it's geared at about 15 miles an hour. Right. Um, and so, but it is marked and, and the thing to remember is in Rochester, there are gaps where you are able to go around it, but really on the north and south ends on, on center street.
MnDOT Mike (01:07):
And then down on sixth street, Southwest, uh, you know, it's route is only about four blocks. So it will then turn either south or north, depending on where it's out there. Um, so, you know, I just would say give it some patients, um, it's not uncommon anyway, to be downtown and have slower moving traffic, whether it's because of construction. Um, or we know that Mayo clinic attracts a lot of visitors who it's a newer town and they are driving slower because it's a new environment and they're looking for parking, they're trying to go to mail for their care. Um, so I think just, you know, opera a bit of patience and, and, and maybe some Rochester plate,
James Rabe (01:49):
I think a good friend, Tracy McCray would say, give yourself the gift of 20 seconds.

I'd encourage people to take a ride, um, in it, it's, it's open to the public now. Um, and it's, it's, uh, it's, it's safe. You're, seat-belted in, um, you can learn a little bit, we've got, uh, an attendant on there who just has sort of an emergency override of the controls, um, if, if there ever was sort of an emergency, but, um, they can tell you a little bit more about the technology use even like why it's slowing down or why it's speeding up, um, how it learned the route. Um, you know, so it's, it's a lot of good things and it's pretty cool that it's the first place in Minnesota to pilot one of these driverless shuttles. And it's great weather right now. So it's, it's a good time to hop aboard and, and, uh, give it a two.
James Rabe (02:40):
How do you, how do you hop a board? Are there planned stops for it or can you just wave it down or what?
MnDOT Mike (02:45):
Nope. Um, there are two stops right now. Um, and I don't know if they've got one or two shuttles going simultaneously, but there's at least one going, um, from nine o'clock in the morning until three 30 on weekdays. And then I believe it's, uh, 10:00 AM to about 5:00 PM on weekends. And you can catch, you can just, uh, on sixth street at the Rochester food co-op, um, there's a spot mark there. And then also up on center west center street, uh, just as you turn the corner, um, at the Gonda building from, from third avenue, um, you'll see a spot mark there and you can just stand there and it will come up. It usually takes about 20 minutes for a full circle, um, on its route. And it's kinda nice. Um, you know, I was talking to our friend, uh, Pasquel, uh, down at the pizza place and said, Hey, you know, people would be able to catch the shuttle from the Gonda building down, uh, you know, just a block from his pizza place and grab a slice of pizza, enjoy it, go back down, uh, by the food co-op hop back aboard, and then go back up to the north end of the route if they wanted to.
MnDOT Mike (03:58):
And so, um, yeah, it's something, you know, we're hopeful. People can give feedback and like you said, it's, we, we want the good, the bad and the ugly.

What the state of the nation means to business development
RICHARD TROMANS Jomati Consultants LLP [email protected]
10PSMGMay/June 2013
TONY WILLIAMS Jomati Consultants LLP [email protected]
Business development (BD) must always take place in the real world, not an idealised one where new business lines will necessarily take market share, or where a firm can safely ignore new entrants. The UK's legal market no longer permits such illusions. Richard Tromans and Tony Williams consider the 'state of the nation' and what it means to BD teams' strategies.
Top 25 and international
Analysis of market share by revenue of the largest 100 UK law firms reveals that the top 25 firms were the best performers over the last five years by a significant margin. This quartile has seen their aggregate revenues increase by around 30% from 2007/2008 to 2011/2012. The group of large, often international firms now represents 76% of all revenues recorded by the UK 100, positive proof of their increasing strength.
But how can they be succeeding when M&A, private equity, IPO work and real estate have all been flat in this nation since 2008? Some of the growth is from international mergers, such as that of Hogan Lovells, but mergers are not the only reason. Other than for UK-centric firms, such as Irwin Mitchell, the bulk of the growth has been driven by overseas demand, with increasing revenues from the Asia-Pacific and new office openings from Australia and Korea to Morocco and Turkey. Many of these firms have also increased their litigation practices, taking roles in complex, high value, disputes around the world, whether litigated in the Rolls Building in London, or arbitrated in Hong Kong or Singapore.
globalisation works and an open and creative mind as to where interesting legal work may come from. They will need to build substantive market knowledge in potentially dozens of developing nations and gain real insight into how clients from sometimes quite alien legal cultures see the world 1 .
The mid-tier (Top 26 to 75)
For many years the message has been that the mid-tier could not survive. The story went they were undifferentiated, too small, too numerous and generally had little to offer.
BD professionals of these nominally 'UK firms' face a challenge. How can they realistically business plan, or plot the course of a new practice line, when around half of the firm's potential markets are 7,000 miles away in Asia, southern Africa or South America? Some firms have moved BD staff abroad, notably to regional hubs such as Singapore. This is sensible, but raises another question: do transplanted BD staff have sufficient local knowledge to design business winning strategies for Chinese or Brazilian clients? This cross-border shift demands that BD staff have a strong grasp of how
And yet they survived largely because a mid-tier client base buoyed by public spending, a booming real estate market and highly leveraged SME sector provided work. Now, in 2013 the public spending is dead or dying off, real estate is flat and high leverage speculative investors are rare in this segment. At the same time large corporates, led by the insurers, which used the mid-tier for a range of process to mid-value work have begun to demand firms develop national coverage or else face panel ejection. Some have responded to this call and merged, a number with Scottish firms. Many others have stayed static, sacking staff and waiting for the 'new normal' to go back to the 'golden age'. In five years this huge segment of 50 law firms only saw in aggregate eight per cent growth. In such an unsustainable environment what can their BD teams do to help grow their firms' market share?
The main strategic fact is that market share now can only be gained among these mostly UK-centric firms either by merger, major team hires and/or developing new ways of producing work that are so compelling they can win extra client work. BD professionals will have to learn from their business process

colleagues and be able to explain to clients their firms' new proposition based on process mapping and unbundled production. BD teams will have to think far more about how their firm produces legal services, rather than focussing on what they are selling by way of sector or practice type.
Lower quartile and consumerfocused regional
Those firms in the lower quartile of the largest 100 UK firms - i.e. the £20m to £30m range fall primarily into three groups. One group is doing better than the rest: small but profitable, regional leaders that have a strong private client following and enduring loyalty from the local SME sector. A second survivor group are the clearly defined niche firms, such as Sackers which focusses on pensions.
BD teams will have to think far more about how their firm produces legal services, rather than focussing on what they are selling.
the growing encroachment of consumerfocussed Alterative Business Structures (ABS) that have scalable strategies, the right structure and significant finance. They will also face the fast-growing accumulator firms, such as Shakespeares, that are rapidly building market share and process capability for the battle to the death that is to come.
Conclusion
Some BD teams will be held hostage by their firms, trapped behind a strategic wall their management team are unwilling, or unable, to break through. This will leave some BD professionals no choice but to leave for more competitive platforms. For those within the progressive, high growth firms and new entrants, there will be new challenges, namely seeing the legal sector not through the eyes of the traditional equity partner, but from the view point of entrepreneurial investors who understand the benefits scale gives to growth margins. They will need to develop BD strategies that please consumers who will have a wide choice of national brand names to choose from. They will also have to consider how to approach larger City firms to manage lower value work via Mexican wave arrangements.
In short, BD professionals face the best of times in terms of being stretched and challenged to be creative, to learn fast and do more for their legal businesses. But, it will also be a difficult time for those BD teams that cannot adapt to the new world, or those trapped in firms whose partnerships refuse to acknowledge the new state of the nation.

But, the third group, which is the majority, face serious challenges. These firms have large PI claimant practices but not the scale to make them profitable after the Jackson reforms. Some handle lower value family and employment matters, which along with the PI work face
