What underpinned the mixed performance of South Africa's 2023 agricultural machinery sales?
* South Africa's field crop harvest was excellent in the 2022/23 season. For example, the 2022/23 maize harvest amounted to 16,4 million, 6% higher than the 2021/22 season's harvest and the second-largest harvest on record. Soybean harvest is at a record 2,8 million tonnes. South Africa's sugar cane crop was 18,5 million tonnes in 2023/24, up 3% y/y. Other field crops and fruit harvests were also decent in 2023.
* Still, this excellent performance did not translate into overall robust agricultural machinery sales as it has been in the past. South Africa's agricultural machinery sales painted a mixed picture in 2023. Tractors amounted to 8 380 units, down by 9% from 2022.
* The decline in tractor sales is unsurprising, as we expected the sales to cool off following a few years of excellent activity. For example, South Africa's tractor sales for 2022 amounted to 9,181 units, up 17% y/y and the highest annual sales for the past 40 years.
* Meanwhile, the combine harvesters amounted to 505 units, up notably by 35% y/y. This follows an excellent performance of 373 units in 2022, up 38% y/y and the highest yearly sales figure since 1985. These strong combine harvester sales are primarily on the back of large grain and oilseed harvest.
* There are several factors behind the slight decline in tractor sales. Chief amongst them is the lower replacement rate of older tractors, as the past three years saw increased new machinery sales. Moreover, the rising interest rates added pressure to farmers' finances.
* The relatively weaker rand exchange rates also negatively influenced the farmers' machinery buying decisions.
* Also worth noting is that while other input cost prices, such as fertilizer and agrochemicals, have softened in 2023, the price levels were still well above long-term levels, thus adding pressure on farmers' finances.
* Over the medium term, the sales will likely remain subdued despite the promising agricultural season in 2023/24. The same factors underpinning the agricultural equipment market will likely prevail in the 2023/24 season.
* Still, the agricultural conditions are excellent. The weather conditions have remained reasonably favourable across South Africa, thus benefiting the crops. At the start of the 2023/24 summer crop production season, farmers intended to plant 4,5 million hectares of land, which is up 2% from the previous season.
* Given the optimistic feedback about crop growing conditions from the Grain South Africa survey, we feel compelled to believe that farmers met their expected planting area in most provinces. If there are any reductions in area, they will likely be in the white maize regions of the North West.
* At the end of this month (30 January 2024), the Crop Estimates Committee will release its preliminary area planted estimate for summer grains 2024. This data will give us a better sense of the planted area and potential harvest size. The large combine harvester sales of 2023, will likely be put into good use in the 2023/24 season as the harvest could be ample as in the previous years.

Mr. Daniel Tijerina stated that this item would also be considered by the City Council later this afternoon. Mr. Tijerina went over the ordinance that our City Attorney Jaime Tijerina had worked on which read as follows:
WHEREAS, the proliferation and clustering of credit access businesses and regulated lenders in a community can have a detrimental effect on local property values and economic redevelopment; and
WHEREAS, the fees and lending practices used by credit access businesses and regulated lenders can have an unreasonable adverse effect on the citizens of the City of Mission; and
WHEREAS, the City of Mission has experienced a proliferation of credit access businesses and regulated lenders within the city limits; and
WHEREAS, after notice this matter was considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 14, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning amendment; and
WHEREAS, after notice and upon consideration of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the public and in support of the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens that the zoning ordinance be amended;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MISSION, TEXAS:
SECTION1:
(a) Definitions.
1. Section 1.2-Definitions of "Appendix A-Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to add the following;
a. 17B. CREDIT ACCESS BUSINESS has the meaning given that the term in Section 393.601 of the Texas Finance Code.
b. 47A. REGULATED LENDER means a lender who holds a regulated loan or consumer loan license under Section 342 of the Texas Finance Code.
2. Sections 1.43(2), 1.44(2), 1.44A(2), 1.45(2) and 1.46(2) of "Appendix A- Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to add credit access businesses and regulated lenders as a permitted use, except that no new credit access business or regulated lender may be located within one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of another credit access business or regulated lender, measured in a direct line from property line to property line.
3. It is the declared purpose of this section that in time all credit access businesses and regulated lenders shall come to conform to the provisions of this section or be removed.
4. A credit access business or regulated lender that does not conform to these standards and that existed lawfully on the date the use commenced shall be deemed a nonconforming use. A nonconforming use may be continued, so long as it does not increase its level of nonconformity.
5. If a credit access business or regulated lender ceases operations at a particular location, a new business license shall not be issued for a new credit access business or regulated lender at that location without first complying with all the requirements of this section.
6. No existing credit access business or regulated lender may be expanded by 25 percent or more of its building area on or after April 1, 2016, or be repaired, remodeled, rehabilitated, or otherwise improved to the point that the value of the repairs, remodeling, rehabilitation, or improvements constitute 25 percent of the current value of the structure as established by the most current value established by the appraisal district without first complying with all the requirements of this section.
7. The privilege to continue a nonconforming credit access building shall cease and such use shall terminate whenever any of the following occur:
a. A business license is requested for a change of owner, occupant, tenant, or business is issued.
b. The business license for the use is relinquished, canceled, or terminated in accordance with other applicable ordinances.
c. The use or the structure housing the use is altered, remodeled, expanded, or otherwise improved that increases its level of nonconformity.
d. The structure housing the use is damaged and the cost to repair exceeds 51 percent of the replacement cost on the date of damage.
e. The credit access business' or regulated lender's state license is revoked, suspended, surrendered, expires or is terminated.
8. The aforementioned regulations shall apply to all new establishments seeking to obtain a business license as a credit access business or regulated lender, including new buildings or in any existing building or portion of a building.
SECTION 2. Any person violating or failing to comply with any provision of this ordinance shall be fined upon conviction not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00). Each day any violation of any provision of this ordinance continues constitutes a separate offense.
SECTION 3. That the terms and provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed to be severable and that if the validity of any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance should be declared to be invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of any other section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance.
SECTION 4. These amendments shall be codified in the City of Mission's Code of Ordinances as soon as practicable.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall be effective upon publication of the caption of this Ordinance which shall be published by the City Secretary in a newspaper of general circulation of the City of Mission according to law.
STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
Chairman Sheats asked if there was any public opposition to the request.
There was no response.
Chairman Sheats stated that he liked the ordinance but aside from the grandfathered clause he would like to add a sunset clause to be no more than 5.
Mr. Mario Garza asked if he could explain the sunset clause.
Chairman Sheats stated that with the grandfather clause a business could be open for more than 20 years or forever and he believed they should have a limited time frame.
Ms. Diana Izaguirre stated they didn't need a sunset clause because the ordinance does cover that it stated that if they change of name, property owner or location they would lose the grandfather clause and would need to comply with the ordinance.
Mr. Tijerina stated that the City Attorney did include that wording in the ordinance but if P&Z wanted they could include the sunset clause as a recommendation.
There being no further discussion, Chairman Sheats entertained a motion. Mr. Mario Garza moved to approve the proposed amendment as per staff's recommendations including the sunset clause to be no more than 5 years. Mr. Carlos Lopez seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion passed unanimously.
ITEM #2.0 OTHER BUSINESS
ITEM #3.0 ADJOURNMENT
There being no further items for discussion, Mr. Mario Garza moved to adjourn the meeting. Ms. Diana Izaguirre seconded the motion. Upon a vote, the motion to adjourn passed unanimously at 10:13 a.m.

New Books For Young Readers Tell The Mayflower Story
As 400th Anniversary Of Voyage Nears
by Debra Lawless
Just in time for the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower this fall are two books about the Mayflower for young readers.
“The Adventures of Plimoth Plantation as Told by the Mayflower Mouse” (iUniverse, 2020) by Marian R. Carlson is a charming retelling of the Mayflower story from the diary of Uncle Sam, an English mouse. Uncle Sam is able to scurry unobserved “through my network of passages” around the ship eavesdropping here and there. “I’m a stowaway, here for nibbles of grain and cheese and morsels of dried peas.”
Uncle Sam’s diary opens on Sept. 6, 1620, and runs through November 1621 and the first Thanksgiving in Plimoth. He observes the passengers’ reaction to the birth of Oceanus Hopkins, and describes the rescue of John Howland after he fell overboard. The ship plows through storms and finally, after 66 days at sea, reaches Cape Cod, anchoring in Provincetown where Peregrine White is born. In early December Uncle Sam confides to his diary, “I’m freezing, although my fur grows thicker.” But the Mayflower sets sail again, and this time arrives in Plimoth where life is so tough that many of the Pilgrims take sick and die. Uncle Sam hibernates in a mouse hole.
“While we’re having fun with history, my book is based on research of primary documents, such as William Bradford’s priceless journal at the State House Library,” Carlson said in an email.
The book has received the Editor’s Choice/Rising Star Award for excellence in writing from iUniverse. Carlson, a Chatham summer resident since the 1980s, is a mother of three and grandmother of six. Her 12-year-old granddaughter, Emma Wildfeuer of California, illustrated the book with vignettes. The front cover illustration is by Chatham artist John Hutchinson.
Carlson, a former elementary school teacher, is also the author of “John Adams: The Voice Heard ‘Round the World” (Schoolmaster Press, 2010) for fourth-graders and up. In that book Carlson tells Adams’s story through the eyes of his son, John Quincy, who was 16 in 1783, the year the book is set. That book won the New England Book Award for K-12 and the Parents’ Choice Gold Award.
Marian Carlson will read “The Adventures of Plimoth Plantation as Told by the Mayflower Mouse” during Family Storytime at Oyster Pond in Chatham on Sept. 4 and Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m. Carlson will also sign copies of her book on Saturday, Sept. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Yellow Umbrella Books in Chatham.

Carlson will read “The Adventures of Plimoth Plantation as Told by the Mayflower Mouse” during Family Storytime at Oyster Pond in Chatham on Sept. 4 and 11 at 6:30 p.m. (weather permitting). Bring beach blankets and masks. The first 10 guests will be welcome in the story circle, with social distancing.
Carlson will also sign copies of her book on Saturday, Sept. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Yellow Umbrella Books in Chatham. For more information call the store at 508-945-0144.
For author Rebecca Locklear, a native of Chatham and Orleans who now lives in Oregon, publishing a book is also a family affair. Locklear’s son Ven, a professional illustrator, designed the cover of “The Mayflower at Cape Cod: Stories, Activities, and Research That Connect 1620 With Life Today” (Skaket Books and Art, 2020). The workbook can be used with students in grades six through 12.
The creative book poses the question: What happened when the Mayflower anchored off Cape Cod for five weeks in 1620? In particular, the book focuses on the First Encounter between the Pilgrims and the Nausets.
Locklear wrote the book because she learned from the Eastham 400 Commemoration Committee that “there is not curriculum out there for middle and high school students about the Mayflower story that includes the latest historical information,” she said in an email. Unlike many authors, Locklear examines varied aspects of the Mayflower story including cross-cultural communication, the environment, epidemics, freedom, immigration, marine mammals, migration, self-sufficiency, slavery, tribal issues and wilderness survival, to name a few.
Divided into seven lesson units, the book contains directions for 70 creative activities in various arenas, including cooking foods such as cranberry muffins and seafood “stuffers” in shells. Locklear ventures into fascinating areas such as the comet that appeared in 1618, two years before the Pilgrims set sail. “Why was it called the ‘Angry Star?’ What did Christians imagine was happening?” And she ranges into diseases that ultimately decimated the Native population, asking students to name the diseases and to compare how many Europeans as opposed to Natives died of the diseases. Of particular interest today as the coronavirus continues to affect our daily lives might be the section on epidemics, where Locklear asks students to contemplate modern-day epidemics.
Unlike other books on the Mayflower, this one also illustrates various aspects of the story with photographs. For example, one photograph shows a view toward First Encounter Beach in Eastham from Cape Cod Bay. This is an area where the Pilgrims “sloshed their way from their boat to shore in the November and December cold.” Another photo shows the beach buried under six inches of snow.
Locklear, a teacher for 37 years, is the author of the 2019 book “Exploring the U.S. Life-Saving Service 1878-1915: 17 Student Workshops with 120 Activities.”
For more information about “The Mayflower at Cape Cod,” including purchasing information, visit www.rebeccalocklear.com. The book is available in both a digital PDF and print edition.

Sour Cream Apple Pie
Never Fail Pie Crust
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 16 pieces
4 Tbs vegetable shortening, chilled
3-4 Tbs ice cold water
Pie Filling
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup Sour Cream
2 extra large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
6-8 cups of peeled and sliced apples
Crumble Topping
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
Prep
Preheat Oven to 450 degrees
Chill pie crust ingredients
Pie Crust
1: Mix dry ingredients together in mixer or food processor.
2: Add the butter and shortening, mix until the flour is crumbly. Do not incorporate completely, you want some small chunks.
3: Combine just enough of the water to bring the dough together. Turn the dough out on counter and form into a disc. Place in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pie Filling
4: Pour the first seven ingredients (lemon juice, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, sugar, flour) in a large bowl and whisk together to form a creamy sauce.
Note: You can replace a portion of the sour cream with greek yogurt to make a healthier filling.
5: Add the apple slices and gently toss to combine.
Filling Crust
6: Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and roll out to a 1/3 thickness on a clean surface. Fit into your pie plate. Depending on the size of plate you are using, you may have extra dough.
7: Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust and place the pie on a baking sheet. (This makes handling the pie easier when it is hot. Without the baking sheet, I always end up burning the crust.)
Bake
8: Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 35 minutes.
Crumble Topping
9: Combine the Crumble Topping ingredients in a medium sized bowl and incorporate with a fork. You want a coarse, crumbly texture. Remove the pie from the oven and pour the crumble topping across the pie. (You can form the clumps in your hand.)
10: Return to the oven and bake an additional 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Allow to cool at least 2 hours. It is hard, but if you don’t wait, the center won’t set! Enjoy!

Agis Health Insurence
Agis is with 1.23 million customers and 1,500 employees one of the major health insurers in the Netherlands. Agis occupies an important position in the Dutch health care system. Desire for innovation, care and attention to learning are important values to Agis. This is also reflected in the health policy of Agis for its employees.
To promote mental health at the workplace Agis makes use of its own 'Health Behavior Model'. Employees who are not (yet) absent, but who do indicate that they experience some kind of mental problems at work are detected with this approach. Depending on the nature of such problems, employees are offered a specific program to increase their resilience. This systematic approach reduced the absence rate of 9% to 2.5% in 2010. In addition, the productivity and wellbeing of employees increased in recent years.
96 punten
B. Policy and Culture (max. 300 words)
Please explain how the health policy in the company is organized. Clarify the approach and the reason why a health policy/initiative was initiated. Indicate how mental health is integrated/linked to this general health policy: Conditions fulfilled concerning the integration; mental health part of mission statement; mental health incorporated in organizations' strategies; systems and processes; specific targets on mental health promotion; comprehensive approach of Workplace mental health promotion (WMHP); management involvement.
Max. 300 words:
From preventing absenteeism to promoting healthy behavior
About 10 years ago, the absence rate at Agis increased to around 9%. Causes were to be found in subsequent reorganizations. After this turbulent period Agis started to build on one new organization at one location. They also intended to systematically reduce absenteeism. Of course there was also an economic motive in this intention. The costs of absenteeism were indeed very high. But Agis also wanted to reposition itself on its market and the labor market. For its customers, the policyholders, Agis wants the best care. Agis: the Care Enhancer. What Agis wants to be to its customers, is also realized internally for its employees. Core values that Agis incorporates in its mission are care and attention to each other - in addition to desire for innovation. The physical but also mental health of the employees is therefore high on the agenda.
The first years the focus was mainly on preventing absenteeism. Over time the focus shifted from reducing absenteeism to promoting healthy behavior for all employees.
In the policy of Agis, the physical side of health is promoted through a program based on the BRAVO compass, with the components More Exercise, Less Smoking, Moderate Alcohol, Healthy Food and Leisure. For the promotion of mental health Agis has developed its own model: The Health Behavior Model for prevention of psychological problems.
Health policy is embedded in the overall HR policy. The HR tools such as education and employability are all working towards the same goal: empowering employees (mentally) in order to work happily and healthily, now and in the future.
Agis is convinced that the return on investment in health is enormous. Agis has calculated that the
savings on health services, such as reduced use of temporary workers to replace sick workers, are much greater than the investments that were needed to refine health policies. The output and work ability of Agis' employees increased in recent years, as well as their wellbeing. These results are reflected in an absenteeism drop to 2,5% in 2010.
C. Organisation and Structure (max. 200 words)
Who is in charge of and/or involved in the organisation and support of the mental health promotion initiatives?
And are these persons acquainted with the mental health topic?: Specific work group; composition of the group; training on mental health; resources etc.
Max. 200 words:
The implementation of health policy
The HR department is responsible for all initiatives in the field of health at Agis. Agis houses all the experts, in the belief that only this way the proposed health policy can be implemented succesfully. These dedicated professionals work together in an interdisciplinary team and they are the direct executives of the health policy. The team consists of an occupational physician, a social worker and a (psychosomatic) occupational physiotherapist.
There are monthly meetings with all managers. The health of individual employees will then be discussed, but also other relevant current affairs. Every two months there is a meeting with the VGWcommittee of the Board Participation, which guarantees the input and support from the employees.
D. Implementation and Strategy (max. 400 words)
How does the company handle the planning of the initiatives concerning mental health promotion? Who is involved in the planning and implementation of these initiatives? Is the planning linked to a needs assessment? Please explain.
Please describe the initiatives and measures on mental health promotion that were taken in the company: what kind of workplace mental health activities were carried out?
* Promotion of mental health
* Prevention of mental health problems
* Dealing with (workers with) mental health problems at work
* (Re) integration of workers with mental health problems
Max. 400 words:
Activities
Agis promotes mental health at a particular website on the intranet of the organization. For special actions occasionally organized by Agis, there is always referred to this intranet site. In addition, there is an open consultation hour at the workplace, where anyone can go for any further inquiries. Also, each employee is sent an annual statement of all activities / services that exist within Agis to keep the employees (mentally) healthy.
Agis has 1,500 employees. Each year a group of about 550 people are requested to fill in a questionnaire (a Periodic health examination). In addition, employees also receive a physical check-up. Both are discussed / reviewed with the company doctor. Everyone receives this invitation every three years. Any complaints / causes for absence are thus revealed, so that action can be taken. Employees can also go to the open consultation hour of the occupational therapist and business fysiotherapist to work on their (mental) health.
Promoting healthy behavior
Agis works with a self-developed model for health behavior that aims to either systematically prevent psychological problems at work or to ensure rapid recovery when mental illness occurs.
Depending on the type of psychological symptoms / causes of absence, employees are offered a different pathway:
* Private Problem: consultation of Staff Welfare (after check by the company doctor)
* Depression / anxiety: Mild form: physical activity (possibly in combination with dietetics).
* Strain complaints: RET training and Coach Training "Tackle stress at work".
* Burn Out: coaching by company doctor
Training Tackle Stress at Work
To keep workers employable without loss of productivity is important to Agis. Agis works on mental resilience in order to prevent complaints. The first part of the training focuses on "leisure" (from the psychosomatic physiotherapy), the second part is training and strengthening problem-solving ability of the participants that are send by a coach / company doctor. Because of these two aims, the training is an interplay between thinking, feeling and doing. The training is for employees who are not (yet) absent due to mental overload.
RET Training
Employees receive training in understanding how your thinking affects your emotions and your behavior. The training aims to change unhealthy, negative feelings and behaviors into healthy feelings and constructive behavior. Employees learn to control stressful situations by applying techniques from Rational Effectiveness Training.
E. Evaluation and Lessons Learned (max. 300 words)
Please describe how the mental health promotion initiatives are being evaluated in your organization. Who is involved in the evaluation and how are the results communicated?
* What are the results?
* What are the lessons learned from the mental health activities: success factors; barriers and ways to overcome
Agis benadrukt dat dit succes alleen te bereiken is als je jarenlang consequent bouwt aan je aanpak. Hiervoor heeft Agis zelf alle benodigde deskundigen in huis gehaald, die samenwerken in een interdisciplinair arboteam. Er is altijd iemand van dit arboteam beschikbaar, zodat medewerkers altijd kunnen aankloppen als er iets is.
Een andere belangrijke succesfactor is de steun van de managementtop van de organisatie, zowel inhoudelijk als budgettair. Het management heeft het geduld kunnen opbrengen om te wachten op de resultaten. Want resultaten bereik je niet op korte termijn, dat is echt iets van lange adem.
Vanuit de HR-afdeling en het arboteam wordt veel geïnvesteerd in de relatie met leidinggevenden, die een belangrijke rol vervullen in de uitvoering van het beleid. Tenslotte zijn openheid, vertrouwen geven en veiligheid bieden aan medewerkers belangrijke succesfactoren in de bedrijfscultuur.
Agis gaat door op de ingeslagen weg en wil zich in de komende periode, naast de voortzetting van bestaande initiatieven, richten op interventies op het gebied van amplitie: het versterken van het psychisch welbevinden van medewerkers om nog beter het potentieel van mensen tot bloei te laten komen.
Max. 300 words:
Results
Through a systematic approach Agis has been able to reduce the absence rate in a period of 10 years from 9% back to 2.5%. The productivity, work ability and wellbeing of the employees increased in recent years.
Agis emphasizes that this success can only be achieved when organizations consistently work on their approach for many years. Therefor Agis chose to incorporate all the experts in the organization and let them work together in an interdisciplinary team of health and safety. There is always someone available at this occupational health team so that employees can always pass by for support.
Another important success factor is the support of the top management, both in content and budget. The management has had the patience to wait for the results. Because results cannot be achieved in
the short term, the approach really requires a long term vision. The HR department and the Health and Safety team heavily invested in relationships with supervisors, who play an important role in policy implementation. Finally, openness, trust and security for employees are considered key success factors in corporate culture.
Agis continues on this path and aims to focus, in addition to the existing initiatives, on interventions in 'amplitie': strengthening the mental wellbeing of staff to better utilize people's potential.

MasterPel ® 725
Permeability reducing admixture for concrete and mortar
DESCRIPTION
APPLICATION
MasterPel 725 is an integral admixture designed to reduce the rate of transmission of moisture through concrete. It does not contain chemicals that might cause undesirable side effects when used in conjunction with admixtures normally used in concrete.
MasterPel 725, used as an integral admixture in concrete, reacts with the cement hydration process to form a hydrophobic coating on the pore and void surfaces of concrete, which reduces the capillary suction and minimises absorption and penetration of water.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
* most applications requiring watertight concrete such as basement walls and floors, tanks, pipes, tunnels, silos and pools
* concrete blocks and bricks
* low cement content panels and claddings
* wall and tank foundation renderings
* concrete structure where subsequent application of render, tiles or paint is required
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Improved hydrophobic coating
Reduces permeability.
Increases watertightness.
Increases durability.
Reduces relative
absorption.
Good workability
Good finishing characteristics for slabwork and off-form surfaces.
Good cohesiveness
Reduces segregation particularly in lean mixes and high slump concrete.
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
In comparison to plain concrete, a mix containing MasterPel 725 develops better watertightness of the concrete.
Curing
Like all cementitious mortars and concrete, concrete made with MasterPel 725 must be protected against rapid drying due to high temperature and/or strong winds. The use of wet burlap, plastic sheets or a curing compound is highly recommended.
Dispensing
MasterPel 725 should be added separately to the initial batching water to ensure complete distribution throughout the mix. Use only drinkable water. Do not use sea water, bore water or water containing a high dissolved mineral content, for mixing concrete.
DOSAGE
Recommended dosage rate is 450 - 550 ml per 100 kg of cementitious materials. For a higher degree of water-repellency, use 800ml per 100kg of cement.
PACKAGING
MasterPel 725 is available in 205L drums.
SHELF LIFE
MasterPel 725 can be stored for 12 months if stored at temperatures above 5ºC, in tightly sealed original drums. If found to be frozen, thaw it and reconstitute by stirring.
PRECAUTIONS
Health: MasterPel 725 does not contain any hazardous substances requiring labelling.
It is safe for use with standard precautions followed in the construction industry, such as use of hand gloves, safety goggles, etc.
For detailed Health, Safety and Environmental recommendations, please consult and follow all instructions on the product Material Safety Data Sheet.

WHEREAS, the citizens of Lehigh County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania deserve a fair, fully transparent, impartial and depoliticized process of the decennial drawing of state legislature and congressional districts of near equal population; and
WHEREAS, legislative and congressional redistricting has often resulted in the gerrymandering of districts to favor one political party or the other; and
WHEREAS, such gerrymandering of legislative and congressional districts has worked at times to the detriment of our representative democracy by impeding action on critical issues of importance to the people; and
WHEREAS, the creation of a truly independent citizens redistricting commission devoid of political motivation or partisanship will help to ensure a fair and accurate legislative and congressional redistricting process that respects political subdivisions and communities of interest, will prohibit districts from being drawn to favor or discriminate against a political party or candidate, will promote transparency, the use of impartial and sound methodology when setting district boundaries, and allow for public input, and will fully comply with the Constitutional requirement that “no county, city, incorporated town, borough, township or ward” be divided “unless absolutely necessary”.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, THAT:
1. The above purpose clauses are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference.
2. The Lehigh County Board of Commissioners hereby supports legislative efforts to secure expeditious action to make a constitutional amendment that would, among other reforms, assign the decennial task of both legislative and congressional redistricting to an independent citizens redistricting commission.
3. The proper officers and other personnel of Lehigh County are hereby authorized and empowered to take all such further action, including any necessary transfers of funds, and execute additional documents as they may deem appropriate to carry out the purpose of this Resolution.
4. Copies of this resolution shall be distributed to the proper officers and other personnel whose further action is required to achieve the purpose of this resolution, including all members of the Lehigh County delegation to the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolf, the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania, and Fair Districts PA.
5. Any resolution or part of resolution conflicting with the provisions of this resolution is hereby repealed insofar as the same affects this resolution.

Human Resources
Fred Verdugo, Acting Director
Dana Anderson, Acting Deputy Director, Personnel Operations
Vacant, Manager, Labor Relations
Joleen Richardson, Manager, Risk Management
Department Overview
Mission:
To provide leadership and operational support to City departments to enhance their ability to recruit and retain a qualified, diverse workforce and to effectively manage labor relations and business risks.
Core Services:
- Provide the leadership and operational support needed to attract, retain and develop a qualified and diverse workforce so that all City departments can effectively and efficiently provide their core services to the community, meet their operational goals and provide exceptional service.
- Protect the City's assets and promote sustainable management of the City's resources through effective risk management and long-term planning.
- Preserve the City's investment in its workforce through higher retention rates by providing fair compensation, benefits, career development and training, and a respectful employee-friendly workplace.
- Evaluate and improve processes, including rules and organization structure that inhibit our ability to staff critical functions and services.
- Fostering positive alliances between labor and management, working together to improve internal collaboration, employee involvement, morale, and customer service in the City.
FY 21 Focus:
In FY 21, the Human Resources Department (Department) will continue to support City departments, so they can fill vacancies in a timely manner and retain a diverse and qualified workforce while limiting the City's liability by ensuring compliance with government regulations.
As part of the FY 21 Budget, the Department will continue its partnership with the Technology & Innovation Department in the implementation of the City's new Enterprise Resource Planning System, "LB COAST." The Human Resources/Personnel component was delayed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the new personnel measures in place, the Department plans on deploying significant staff resources for the deployment in 2021. Human Resource staff has been dedicated to the project since July 2017. The implementation of the new financial and human resource systems will allow the City to be more efficient in the use of our resources and will modernize many of our processes, in accordance with Mayor Garcia's vision for the City.
The Department will also continue to offer citywide training and development opportunities, recruitment and retention activities, and organizational development services so employees can strengthen their skills in preparation for leadership roles. Also, the Department is working to enhance a training program to increase the use of technology, implement industry best practices and link training to core competencies. The Department is also developing an employee engagement plan aimed at reducing employee turnover and increasing job satisfaction.
In addition, the Department will continue to provide other departments with safety training and consultations, facility inspections, accident monitoring and reporting, policy development, mitigation of workplace hazards, reduction of injuries and vehicle accidents, and ensure compliance with Cal-OSHA and other safety regulations. The Department, in its support of all differently-abled employees, strives to continue to be in compliance with state and federal disability laws, ensuring employees are informed regarding their benefits and their responsibilities.
Department Performance Measures
The data reflects resignations, dismissals, deaths, layoffs and retirements, among other types of departures. The turnover rate is reported by calendar year rather than fiscal year. At this time, it is difficult to gauge the turnover rate for calendar year 2020. The rate is heavily influenced by retirements, with a high number of retirements occurring in December.
The Department makes every effort to resolve each grievance it receives. By resolving grievances internally, the City demonstrates its commitment to upholding the terms of the MOUs with employee organizations. In addition, the City saves time and other resources by handling grievances internally rather than through arbitration. Human Resources will continue to handle grievances expeditiously and with great diligence for the remainder of FY 21 and through FY 22 in order to achieve a 100 percent resolution rate.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) established this measure so that agencies may assess their safety performance compared to other entities. Injuries and illnesses resulting in death, loss of consciousness, restriction of work duties, and transfer of duties, lost workdays or medical treatment beyond first aid are reported. The rate is an estimate based on the calendar year rather than fiscal year and has been declining for the last 5 years.
FY 20 Accomplishments
Labor Relations
- Successfully completed the contract negotiations for all 12 existing labor associations. The agreements include a phased-in approach for structural wage increases that are in line with the needs of each bargaining unit to remain competitive with other public sector agencies in their respective fields as well as key benefit enhancements to assist employee's in balancing work and personal lives.
- As part of the contract negotiations processes, Labor Relations also negotiated cost-savings measures that will assist with mitigating the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including Furloughs in FY21, Accrual Reductions, and CALPERS Cost-Sharing agreements with some classic safety groups.
- Successfully assisted with the meet and confer process for the implementation of the City's COVID19 pandemic response, including but not limited to the following: temperature checks, reassignments, work safety measures, emergency contract services and reduction in force.
- Successfully resolved approximately two (2) unfair labor practice charges filed against the City through the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB).
- Successfully facilitated multiple labor relations workshops for City management regarding the obligation to meet and confer and legal compliance.
- Successfully led and/or assisted departments with the completion of over 50 meet and confer processes with pertinent associations.
- Successfully responded to over 146 information requests from associations in the meet and confer process, external parties through the PRA process, and partner agencies through direct labor inquiries.
Employee Development
- The Department of Human Resources partnered with The Long Beach LGBTQ Center to provide Best Practices for an LGBTQ+ Inclusive Workforce training. This workshop helped to raise awareness on the value of collaborating with people of different cultures, genders, beliefs, experiences and ideas.
- To accommodate more employees, New Employee Orientation transitioned from a quarterly orientation, to a monthly session being held inside council chambers. Due to the pandemic, NEO quickly adjusted to the new norms and went virtual to allow for a quick, efficient and cost-effective response to the pandemic, all in efforts to keep new employees connected. Approximately over 225 employees have attended New Employee Orientation.
- Sexual Harassment Prevention training is an EEO training: California law requires employers with five or more employees to provide at least two hours of sexual harassment and abusive conduct training to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of such training to all nonsupervisory employees, once every two years. The deadline to train all employees was December 31, 2020. To meet this requirement, multiple in-person sessions have been held, and due to the pandemic, a virtual training has been provided. The Department has trained over 4,200 employees.
- Successfully transitioned the New Employee Orientations (NEOs) quickly and efficiently to an online platform as an efficient and cost-effective response to the pandemic and the need to keep our new employees connected.
FY 20 Accomplishments
- Implemented two all-day training academies for the Administrative Officers and Payroll/Personnel Assistants to educate staff regarding best practices, procedures, and legal requirements, etc. and continue to reinforce that training through bi-monthly brown lunches and teleconferences on various topics.
Occupational Health & Safety
- Provided COVID-19 contact tracing and risk assessments for 706 City Employees and counting as the pandemic continues.
- 7,043 total encounters (inclusive of post-offer physical examinations, new injury assessments and follow-up appointments).
- 583 encounters for pre-employment physicals 10/1/19 – 9/30/2020 (this includes lab appointments with medical assistants).
- Administered 703 Tuberculosis (TB) skin tests.
- Administered over 498 free flu vaccines to the City's First Responders and Healthcare personnel.
- 202 DOT Driver Physicals conducted 10/1/2019 – 9/30/2020.
- 105 Hazmat Physicals (this includes lab appointments with medical assistants.) 10/1/2019 09/30/2020.
- Conducted 38 COVID-19 related safety protocol walkthroughs throughout the City.
- Conducted a Job Hazard Analysis of the fire boat painting for the City's Fire Department.
- Conducted 26 playground inspections throughout the City ensuring that residents and their children have a safe play environment.
Benefits Administration
- COVID-19 Related Leaves – in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shutdown in March, the City implemented 80 hours of paid sick leave for employees who experienced a COVID19 work related exposure prior to the federal FFCRA leave law, which was later passed in April 2020.
- Health Advocate was implemented in August 2020 and provides employees and retirees with personalized concierge services to assist with navigating the complexities of healthcare. Staffed by health and medical experts, Health Advocate helps motivate individuals to take an active role in their health. Services provided include member education, assistance with understanding medical bills, second opinions, medical records transfers, appeals and more.
Fund Impact
Summary of Changes*
*For ease of review, reallocations of resources within departments, offsets, adjustments, and minor changes have not been included.

Use of lentiviruses to infect human colorectal cancer cells with hERG1 channels –specific shRNAs: use in preclinical studies.
Background. Targeted therapies are changing the care and prognosis of many cancer patients. Many efforts have been made in this field through the identification of molecules and mechanisms that regulate tumour establishment and progression. Such molecules not only represent prognostic factors and predictors of benefits for chemotherapy, but have also been used as pharmacological targets for therapies. Recent evidence indicates that ion channels may represent novel targets for cancer therapy (reviewed in Arcangeli A. et al., Curr. Med. Chem, in press). Our and other groups have demonstrated that K + channels belonging to the hERG1 family can be included in the list of ion channels mis/overexpressed in cancer cells and whose activity is involved in the regulation of tumour establishment and progression. hERG1 proteins are encoded by the herg1 (human eag related gene1) gene, that belongs to an evolutionarily conserved multigenic family of voltageactivated, outward rectifying K + channels, the eag (ether a-gò-gò) family. The herg1 gene and the hERG1 protein, as well as the related current IhERG , are expressed in neoplastic cell lines, as well as in several types of primary human cancers: endometrial adenocarcinomas, acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemias (AML and ALL), colorectal cancers, high grade astrocytomas; gastric cancers and precancerous gastric and esophageal lesions, such as the Barrett's oesophagus (Pillozzi S et al., Leukemia, 16: 1791-1798, 2002; Crociani O., et al., J. Biol. Chem, 278: 2947-2955, 2003; Lastraioli E et al., Cancer Res., 64: 606-11, 2004; Arcangeli A. 2005, Wiley. Chichester (Novartis Foundation Symposium 266) p 225-234; Masi A et al., Br J Cancer 2005, 93: 781-792; Lastraioli E et al., J Cell Physiol, 209: 398-404, 2006; Pillozzi S. et al., Blood, 2007,110:1238-1250).
hERG1 channels exert pleiotropic effects in the tumours where they are overexpressed: they control both cell proliferation and TNF-induced apoptosis. We also reported that hERG1 channels are important determinants for the acquisition of an invasive phenotype in solid cancers like colorectal cancers. In particular, colon cancer cell invasiveness in vitro strictly depends on the amount and activity of hERG1 channels. The regulatory role of hERG1 channels in cell invasion can be putatively traced back to a functional and physical association between hERG1 and 1 integrins in neoplastic cells (Arcangeli A and Becchetti A. In: Cell cycle in the central nervous system. Humana Press. 2006, 81-94. Arcangeli A and Becchetti A., Trends Cell Biol., 16: 631-639, 2006).
Specific Aims. Based on the background explained above, we propose to deepen such studies in a project whose principal aim to use drugs and tools capable of inhibiting hERG1 channels as novel anticancer therapies in preclinical models. In particular, we propose to develop anti-hERG1 shRNA, inserted into lentiviral particles (Lenti-anti hERG1-shRNAs). Such Lenti-anti hERG1-shRNAs will be used: a) to infect human colorectal cancer cells in order to stably silence hERG1 expression in cancer cells. Silenced cells will be further injected subcutaneously into nu/nu immunodeficient mice and the growth of colorectal cancer cells after hERG1 silencing will be evaluated; b) to treat mice harboring colorectal cancers (nu/nu mice injected subcuntaneously with human colorectal cancer cells), in order to evaluate the effect of hERG1 silencing as a novel antineoplastic therapy.
Experimental plan: 1) Identification and use of hERG1 specific shRNAs. Short hairpin (sh-) RNAs are double strand, 48 base-long oligomers consisting of two self-annealing sequences separated by a 6 nucleotide loop. When the loop is cleaved by cellular enzymes they become activated and trigger the endogenous RNA interference machinery, eventually leading to the degradation of the mRNAs whose sequence is identical to the shRNA. shRNAs are produced into mammalian cells by means of DNA vectors carrying a cDNA copy of the shRNA clone, downstream of the human U6 promoter, which is a target for RNA pol III. Commercial anti-HERG shRNA vectors (OPEN biosystems) will be first tested in HEK 293 over-expressing HERG channel. To do so, conventional delivery methods will be employed in this cell line, as high transfection efficiency can easily be achieved with commercial cationic lipid preparations. Expression of HERG mRNA and protein in silenced cells will be compared to controls (non silenced, HERG-expressing HEK 293). The shRNAs with the highest silencing activity will be used in HERG-expressing colon cancer cell lines. 2) Production of colon cancer cell lines stably infected with Lenti-anti hERG1-shRNAs and in vivo experiments on nu/nu mice. In order to obtain high levels of transfection in colon cancer cells, we will use lentiviral infection as a DNA delivery strategy. This strategy involves production of replication-imcompetent lentiviruses containing the desired shRNA vector. Before a stably transduced cell line expressing the shRNA of interest can be created, a lentiviral stock (containing the packaged transfer vector) will first need to be produced by cotransfecting the optimized packaging plasmid mix and the transfer vector construct into the TLAHEK293T cell line. Co-transfection of the Trans-Lentiviral packaging mix and the transfer vector containing the shRNA of interest into TLA-HEK293T cells will produce a replication-incompetent lentivirus, which can then be transduced into the mammalian cell line of interest, colon cancer cells in our case. Once infected, these cells will not be able to assemble new viral particles, as they lack the required genetic information. Although such viruses are defective and cannot replicate in mammalian cells other than TLA-HEK293T packaging cells, a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) room is needed for the production of viral particles and infection of the target cell line. To this purpose we will use the BSL3 room present at the Department of Public Health of the University of Florence. Afterwards, biosafety level 1 is sufficient, therefore conventional cell culture hoods can be used. Stably infected colon cancer cell lines will be used for in vitro and in vivo experiments aimed at studying the effects of hERG channel ablation in these cells. Silenced cells will be compared to control cells in an array of in vitro assays in which cellular parameters such as proliferation, migration an adhesion to substrate will be measured. Afterwards silenced and control cells will be employed for in vivo experiments. In particular, silenced and non-silenced colon cancer cells will be injected subcutaneously into nu/nu mice (1x10 3 cells per mouse), house and handled under sterile conditions at the Laboratory of Genetic Engineering for the Production of Animal Models (LIGeMA) of the University of Florence. After five weeks mice will be sacrificed and tumor masses will be compared for size, presence of necrosis and other tumor-relevant features. 3) Intra-tumor injection of Lenti-anti hERG1-shRNAs. Nu/nu mice will be injected subcutaneously with colorectal cancer cell lines as above. Seven days after injection (i.e. when subcutaneous masses become visible), mice will be divided in two groups: one group will be injected with Lentianti hERG1-shRNAs into the tumor mass, the other with control viruses, that is viruses carrying control plasmids. The two groups will be monitored for five further weeks and eventually sacrificed in order to compare key histological and molecular features, such as mass size, presence of necrosis, vasculature, etc as above. A BSL3 room is required during handling of viral particles and injection into mice. To this purpose we will use the BSL3 room present at the Department of Public Health of the University of Florence. Afterwards, because viral particles are replicationincompetent, mice are not infective and will be housed in the LIGeMA sterile rooms.
Expected results.
Our prediction, based on published results (see above and reviewed in Arcangeli A., et al., Curr. Med. Chem., in press) is that mice injected with hERG-silenced cells will show greatly reduced or retarded mass formation, with little angiogenesis or infiltration. When the efficacy of shRNAs will be proven in such preclinical model, we will go on to try and test the efficacy of Lenti-anti hERG1shRNAs as antineoplastic therapy. We expect to obtain a reduction of tumor masses through the intratumoral injection of the Lenti-anti hERG1-shRNAs. If experimental results will fit well in our hypothesis, they will confirm the possibility of using hERG inhibiting tools as novel anticancer therapy.

Give Lower-Income Families True Choices
Let Kids Learn aims to bridge educational opportunity divide
By Ben DeGrow | April 2022
The evidence is in: Demand for private school enrollment is growing in Michigan, reversing a yearslong trend. For those concerned that this trend might worsen educational gaps between rich and poor, voters have a solution right now.
A recent Bridge Michigan piece highlights the resurgence of students attending private education options. In the two years since reaction to the pandemic disrupted normal routines, private religious schools have welcomed an extra
Michigan education professor Kevin Stange, who has been researching the state's school enrollment trends, observes that most families who switched from public to private education have not returned.
Students from low- and middleincome households, as well as those with disabilities, would benefit from new educational opportunities previously unavailable to them.
3% to 5% of students. This represents less than half of the losses Michigan private schools experienced in the previous decade. A driving factor for the rebound is that these schools consistently kept classrooms open, in clear contrast with many school districts' remote instruction programs.
Over the last two years, public school enrollments have dropped at about the same rate as their private school counterparts have risen. Districts that denied students in-person options for most of 2020-21 experienced some of the biggest declines. University of
Students kept out of face-toface classes the longest have fallen furthest behind in their learning as a result. Most troubling, they are more likely to be at-risk students who could least afford the setback. The Bridge article cited Stange's concerns about expanding achievement gaps because more affluent families can find a way to pay tuition. Private school is "not an option for lower-income families," he said.
Left out of the conversation was one key solution that could help level the playing field for thousands of families. The Let Kids Learn initiative, revived after a 2021 veto by Gov. Whitmer, would use state income tax credits to encourage private donations to K-12 student scholarships that could pay for private tuition, among other options. The flexible education spending proposed by this initiative is favored by 65% of

Michigan voters and, perhaps unsurprisingly, 74% of parents of school-aged children.
Students from low- and middle-income households, as well as those with disabilities, would benefit from new educational opportunities previously unavailable to them. And scholarship support wouldn't be limited to students pursuing private education. Public school students could apply for aid to supplement their regular education with tutoring and learning materials, much like what Ohio has approved through its new ACE education savings account program.
The $500 million cap on Let Kids Learn tax credit donations represents a tiny fraction of Michigan's $17 billion and growing school aid budget, but could make a big difference for many students struggling to catch up in the wake of restrictive pandemic policies.
An additional victory may be needed to secure the full range of opportunities for students. The Mackinac Center's federal lawsuit on behalf of five Michigan families seeks to bring down a state constitutional provision that has stood in the way of expanding private school choice for a half-century.
Regardless, we shouldn't have to settle for unsettling accounts of widening achievement gaps as the final word of COVID schooling. A clear path to bridge the divide between the educational haves and have-nots lies squarely before us. It's time to press forward and Let Kids Learn.

No Exposure Certification (NEC) Compliance Assistance
State of Michigan Industrial Storm Water Program
Lidded Leak Proof Containers and Compactors
Water Resources Division (WRD)
Michigan.gov/EGLE
EGLE Environmental Assistance Center 800-662-9278
Generally regulated facilities that manage industrial materials in containers and compactors onsite will need to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Industrial Storm Water Permit. However, lidded leak proof containers and compactors containing waste or recyclable materials may meet the definition of "no exposure" if the containers are managed so that no material can drain, spill, leak, or otherwise be released from the containers. Due to the difficulty in meeting and maintaining a condition of "no exposure" for these items, it is recommended that facilities seek input from EGLE WRD Industrial Storm Water Program staff, if these items are managed at the facility. It is important to understand that any material lost during handling, or by loading containers onto vehicles for transport, is considered exposed. In addition, industrial refuse and trash that is stored uncovered is considered exposed. Below are some examples to assist you in determining your compliance with the No Exposure Certification.
Refuse Compactors
Acceptable Compactors and Management Practices
The pictures above identify completely contained, leak proof compactors with no material spillage or hydraulic oil leaks.
Unacceptable Compactors and Management Practices
Both pictures above identify material spillage and poor housekeeping practices around the compactors.
The picture on the left identifies leaking hydraulic oil issues and the picture on the right shows a nonleak-tight compactor due to rusting conditions.
Metal Scrap Containers, Recyclable Material Containers, Refuse Containers, Etc.
Acceptable Containers and Management Practices
Both pictures above are examples of lidded and leak proof containers with no material spillage exposed to storm water runoff.
The picture on the left is an example of containers stored in a storm-resistant shelter. The picture on the right shows an acceptable method for loading a container onto a truck for transport. Notice the container is not tipped during the loading sequence.
Unacceptable Containers and Management Practices
The picture on the left identifies a roll off container with a swinging rear door. These types of containers will typically allow fluids to be released from the container. The picture on the right shows a container that is leaking fluids.
The picture on the left identifies spilled materials at the container storage area and the picture on the right shows a roll off container being tipped during loading. Tipping roll off containers with swinging rear doors typically allows fluids to be discharged from the container.

RESOLUTION NO. 2008-023
Adopted by the Redevelopment Agency
of the City of Sacramento
May 6, 2008
ACQUISITION OF 2075 BARSTOW STREET FOR JUST COMPENSATION AND
AMENDMENT OF THE 2008 BUDGET
BACKGROUND
A. The opportunity site consists of one vacant parcel that is 6,534 square feet and is
zoned M1, Light Industrial. It is located one half-block from the southern end of
Del Paso Boulevard adjacent to the El Monte Triangle.
B. The southern end of Del Paso Boulevard includes several sites that are primed
for planned commercial development. With very little on- or off-street parking at
this end of the Boulevard, additional off-street parking would help promote
commercial development.
C. Surrounded by two scrap metal businesses and zoned for light industry, the
vacant site at 2075 Barstow Street is ideally positioned to provide district parking
to the southern end of Del Paso Boulevard, encourage retail and commercial
development and increases the area’s off-street parking choices.
D. Acquisition of this property does not commit the Agency to proceed with a
development project. California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines
Section 15004(b)(2)(A) allows for land acquisition where the Agency will conduct
CEQA review once the proposed project has been defined when the acquisition
does not limit the choice of alternatives or mitigation measures and future
development of the land is subject to CEQA compliance. Once the scope of
development of the property has been defined, environmental review of the
proposed project will be conducted. Therefore, this action is exempt from
environmental review. The National Environmental Policy Act does not apply.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO RESOLVES AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. All of the evidence presented having been duly considered, the
findings, including the environmental findings, as stated above, are
approved.
Section 2. The Interim Executive Director or designee is authorized to take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to purchase, for not substantially more than just compensation, the following parcel ("Property"):
2075 Barstow Street (APN 275-016-1006-0000)
Section 3. The Interim Executive Director or designee is authorized to transfer $200,000 in Tax Exempt bond funds to the 2075 Barstow Street Project, amend the budget accordingly, and to purchase the Property and carry out all related activities.
Adopted by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Sacramento on May 6, 2008 by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmembers Cohn, Fong, Hammond, McCarty, Pannell, Sheedy, Tretheway, and Waters.
Noes: None.
Abstain: Mayor Fargo (recused).
Absent: None.
Attest:
Shirley Conolino, Secretary

Appendices
* Bioavailability for naloxone in combination with buprenorphine following sublingual administration is estimated between 0% and 10%. Naloxone is eliminated rapidly with a mean elimination half-life of 1.1 hours.
Appendix A: Buprenorphine New Starts Allergy
* In a comparative study, adverse event profiles were similar for subjects treated with 16 mg Suboxone ® (buprenorphine/naloxone) or 16 mg Subutex ® (buprenorphine).
* Complete requests may be approved
* Medical records documenting naloxone allergy are required.
Pregnancy
* Methadone is the standard of care in U.S. for treating pregnant women with opioid dependence.
* Complete requests may be approved for up to 10 months or up to 1 month past anticipated date of delivery, whichever is sooner.
* For new requests, documentation of anticipated date of delivery must be submitted. If initial request does not include anticipated date of delivery and prescriber cannot be contacted for the information, request can be approved for 1 month while asking for anticipated date of delivery on external comment.
Breast-feeding
* If provider states that member is breast-feeding and does not want to use naloxone → Approve may be granted 6 months.
* Use of high doses of sublingual buprenorphine in pregnant women showed that buprenorphine passes into the mother's milk. Breast-feeding is therefore not advised in mothers treated with buprenorphine.
Hepatic Impairment
* If a provider requests buprenorphine tablets for a member with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (i.e., Child-Pugh B to C) and would like to avoid the use of combination buprenorphine/naloxone for this reason → Approval may be granted
* Prescribing information for Suboxone ® film notes that due to differences in pharmacokinetics and the inability to adjust the separate doses of buprenorphine and naloxone within each combination dosing unit, buprenorphine/naloxone therapy should be avoided in patients with severe hepatic impairment and may not be appropriate in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild hepatic impairment.
Induction Therapy
* The SAMHSA Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Manual 43 recommends 2 days of induction with buprenorphine in these patients.
* It is recommended that patients dependent upon long-acting opioids initiate therapy with buprenorphine tablets (without naloxone).
* Requests for buprenorphine for induction therapy for members dependent upon long-acting opioids approval may be granted for a maximum of 5 days.
Members will be required to transition to Suboxone ® film after induction, unless prior authorization criteria are met for a non-preferred formulation.
Appendix B: Adverse reaction to buprenorphine/naloxone film
Requests documenting an allergic reaction to buprenorphine/naloxone film will be reviewed for specific reaction.
Allergic reaction
* If medical records document that the member had anaphylaxis, angioedema, itching, rash or difficulty breathing, and it can be definitively traced to the buprenorphine/naloxone film use, this should not be rechallenged → Approve may be granted.
o Medical records of details of allergic reaction MUST be provided documenting time course of reaction being documented, i.e. compare dates of claims or documented buprenorphine/naloxone film use to onset and occurrence of reaction.
*Members at ≥24 mg/day of buprenorphine/naloxone film or generic buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual tablets
Approvals maybe be considered on a case by case basis when the following is met:
* Provider should be contacted, and member specific factors would preclude further dose increase.
* Provider requesting Bunavail ® (buprenorphine/naloxone buccal film), buprenorphine/naloxone tablet or Zubsolv ® (buprenorphine/naloxone tablet) and notes increased cravings or withdrawal symptoms after a trial with buprenorphine/naloxone film for a member already at 24 mg/day

Kentucky Guidelines for Including Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Hydrochloride in Animal
Feeds
Chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride are ingredients used in animal and human food supplements. These ingredients have developed name recognition among consumers based on their increased availability in supplement products. Currently, we have received no consumer complaints to suggest a safety concern. Based on their use as dietary supplements for humans, history of use in equine supplements, no indication of a safety concern, and an obvious desire of consumers for supplements containing these ingredients, products containing chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride may be registered for distribution in Kentucky.
The following are guidelines for registrations:
1. Labeling must follow the format and requirements of the Kentucky Commercial Feed Law.
2. No performance claim will be permitted on the label that would cause the supplement to be declared a drug or food additive unless the claim has been approved by FDA.
3. If the label makes special reference to the presence of chondroitin sulfate or glucosamine hydrochloride, or the product's primary purpose is to provide one of these ingredients, then the amount of ingredient present must be guaranteed in the guaranteed analysis. Guarantees should be expressed as a minimum quantity in appropriate units, such as grams/ounce, milligram/ounce, or other unit consistent with the feeding directions. The guarantee should be verifiable by laboratory analysis.
4. The ingredient guarantee must be denoted with an asterisk, such as:
Glucosamine, minimum*
Chondroitin sulfate, minimum* 50 mg/ounce
100 mg/ounce
The following or similar qualifying statement should appear immediately after the last such guarantee in the same size type as the guarantees.
* For dog and cat supplements, we require the use of the following AAFCO statement:
*Not recognized as an essential nutrient by the AAFCO Dog (or Cat) Food Nutrient Profiles.
* For specialty pets, equine, and other specie supplements we suggest.
*Not recognized as an essential dietary nutrient.
Note: If the product contains prohibited mammalian protein as defined under the BSE rule and is for a species other than dogs or cats, then the label must bear the following caution statement:
Do not feed to cattle or other ruminants
5. The manufacturers may list the specific source of chondroitin sulfate or glucosamine in the ingredient statement, for example, "chondroitin sulfate from bovine trachea."
Note: This is an interim policy applicable only for Kentucky. It has no application in other states and does not alter existing AAFCO requirements or FDA statutory authority or preclude action by other regulatory agencies. This policy will be utilized as the basis for Kentucky registration and labeling pending development of national requirements that will supercede this policy.
Questions pertaining to this policy should be directed to the Feed Program Coordinator or Product Registration Specialist at 859-257-5887 or 859-257-4496, respectively, with the Division of Regulatory Services at the University of Kentucky.
**The Policy was updated on December 22, 2015 and replaces the one published on March 25, 2003

September 2017
Dear Singers and Parents,
Welcome to the 10th season of the Grand Rapids Symphony Youth Choruses! We are proud to be part of a vibrant arts organization in West Michigan. The Youth Choruses have a unique opportunity to sing some of the world's most beautiful choral literature with West Michigan's finest musicians. Our concerts are attended by thousands of people every year.
Highlights of the 2017-2018 season include:
¥ GRSYC Fall Retreat at Camp Manitou-Lin
¥ Our first family concert of the year on November 3 at Calvin College's Fine Arts Auditorium
¥ Guest Artist concert at St. Mark's Episcopal Church on November 19
¥ Holiday Pops with the Grand Rapids Symphony
¥ The Music of John Williams with Bob Bernhardt and the Grand Rapids Symphony in May
Choirs do not rehearse during the December holiday break or spring break. The schedule of the year's activities is posted on our website (click on "schedule"). It is vital that rehearsal or performance conflicts be communicated as soon as possible. If, after checking the schedule, you know that a conflict exists, let us know right away. It helps us plan for rehearsals and performances when we know a chorister will be missing. Unless there is a medical or family emergency, sudden absences (one or two days notice) must be avoided. Additionally, coming late to rehearsal or leaving early is extremely disruptive – please refrain from doing this if at all possible. Please see the "Absences" section on page 7 for more information.
The Youth Choruses aspire to professional performance standards. As such, make every effort to be at rehearsal and avoid scheduling other activities during choir time. Work done during rehearsals cannot be made up!
This handbook is intended to be a reference for choir schedules, fees, uniforms, policies, and the calendar for the year. Please read the following information about tuition costs, rehearsal times, and performance attire for all three choirs. If, after reading, you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
Thank you for being a part of GRSYC! Together we make the world a more beautiful place.
Sincerely,
Sean Ivory, Artistic Director

BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS
As the year begins, we want to make sure everyone has a clear understanding about the basic behavior expectations that we have of singers in our performing ensembles.
Each singer represents the Grand Rapids Symphony Youth Choruses. We are a professional organization and our students are expected to behave in a courteous manner at all times. We are guests at Calvin College, a school and place of business. To that end, all choristers:
* Must consume all snacks prior to rehearsal or at break.
* Must pick up after themselves.
* Must not run or horse around in Calvin's hallways.
* Must not climb on the rock outside the Recital Hall.
GRSYC does not provide supervision prior to rehearsals.
PC and JYC choristers must be accompanied by their parent/guardian until rehearsal begins.
Thank you for your attention to these details. With compliance to these guidelines, your children help promote the good name and reputation of GRSYC.
REHEARSAL NOTES
1.Come prepared to listen, to work, and to sing. We have only 2 hours each week to learn a large amount of repertoire and sing it professionally and inspirationally! This is a great place to meet and make lifelong friends, but please be focused during rehearsal.
2. GRSYC rehearsals are open. Parents, you are welcome to sit and listen. We ask that you keep your conversations in the hallway, please. Any talking that takes place in the rehearsal room is disruptive to the directors and students. Thank you for your consideration.
3. Singers do not leave the room after rehearsal has begun unless special permission has been granted. A note is necessary for late admittance to or early dismissal from a rehearsal.
4. Singers may bring a bottle of water to sip drinks when needed. Please make sure it has a lid or cap on it to prevent spills. No food, candy or gum is allowed in the rehearsal room. For optimal focus and energy, please have your chorister eat a nutritious snack before rehearsal.
5. All singers should use the bathroom before the rehearsal starts. Singers will not be excused for bathroom breaks during the rehearsals, except in the case of emergencies. Children of eligible ages should have no trouble waiting until the end of their rehearsal to visit the bathroom again. If you are concerned that your child will be unable to comply with this requirement, please contact your child's director.
6. Cell phones must be turned off during rehearsals and will be confiscated if used to make calls, play games, send text messages, or take pictures. This rule also applies to any game-playing devices that are brought into rehearsals.
ABSENCES
1. Since choral music education is a progressive process, attendance at all rehearsals is critical. Missing even one rehearsal can seriously impact both the progress of the individual and compromise the overall standard of the choir.
2. Recognizing that conflicts do arise and singers can become ill, each singer is allowed two excused absences per semester. Save these absences for illness, school performances, or a family emergency.
3. Successive absences will be excused at the discretion of the conductor. Simply informing the conductor of an absence will not guarantee an excused absence. Singers missing more than the allowed number of absences may be excluded from an upcoming performance. In a case when singers know they will be unable to participate in an upcoming performance, they should still attend as many rehearsals as possible. Often music that is taught may be included in more than one program and singers are expected to know and be able to perform all choir repertoire included in a season.
4. Please communicate with your child's director as much in advance as possible if a rehearsal must be missed. If, for any reason, a singer cannot actively participate in a rehearsal, he should bring a written note and observe quietly and attentively.
5. Membership in the Grand Rapids Symphony Youth Choruses assumes a commitment to attending performances. Singers who habitually miss scheduled rehearsals or performances may be removed from the organizational roster.
COMMUNICATION
1. Prelude Chorus and Junior Youth Chorus members will receive a weekly email memo from Mrs. Schoon.
2. Youth Chorus members will receive any important information from Mr. Ivory through email.
3. Choristers and their families can give Holly tuition payments, attendance notes, and permission slips.
4. If Calvin College closes due to weather, we do not hold rehearsal. If rehearsal is cancelled GRSYC will notify you by email.

C. New Business:
* Chief Steward, Central Services
o Should we appoint someone now or wait for election results?
o Central Services Chief Steward resigned.
o Other stewards have covered in the past. We can discuss this option with the current stewards at Foothill.
o Booth suggests that we consider a change to the constitution indicating that Chief Stewards have a responsibility to serve all members; CS, FH, & DA.
o By eliminating the requirement for a Chief Steward to be employed in the area they represent, we may be able to provide better steward representation. This change may benefit the association.
o The current preference is to let the position stay open and have the current Chief Stewards fill in until after the elections.
* Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP) MOU
o Have signed an MOU stipulating that those that are on staff development leave this year, and want to take advantage of the SRP
opportunity, will not have to pay back the leave time.
* TEA & Classified Hiring Process During Budget Reductions
o What the district has agreed to do is to evaluate bumping prior to hiring to avoid laying-off someone who was just hired.
o No official hiring freeze.
o Hiring for positions will allow for internals applying first. However, the positions may be held open if an affected employee could potentially bump into that position.
o Negotiating opening up positions in other classes to people who have been laid off.
o Mangiameli: Is there a way to ensure a qualified ACE internal gets the open position?
o Booth: We would ask HR to fill open positions with current employees that are affected by budget reductions, but they are under no obligation to do so.
D. Old Business: Presenter White
*
Classification Study
o Compensation portion of the study will follow.
o Final classifications are due back 25 th .
o Koff has done a great job of explaining what a classification really is; that it may contain things you don't do, but is appropriate for the classification as a whole.
o A. Perez. Has found some inconsistencies/discrepancies in a classification. Job titles: What was the goal of changing job titles and classifications.
§ White: The goal is to do an inventory of job descriptions and classifications. To consolidate like work and create career ladders.
o What is the goal of the compensation study?
§ Booth: The goal is to be sure that you are being compensated appropriately for the work you do. The compensation study will look at your salaries and then look at like jobs outside your organization.
§ White: There is a matrix used to choose what institutions to compare us to. Koff submitted those institutions and we chose from that list which institutions wanted to be compared to.
* Budget Reduction Transition Team Member for FH

o It is in our best interest to look at, review and see what we could have done better.
E. President's Announcements: Presenter White
o If you are going to take a vacation for more than a few days, please let Chris White know. This will prevent us from referring members to you while you're out.
o As we move forward this year. It's important to recognize that words matter. We get frustrated but it's not ok to be derogatory to someone.

* SSPBT: Presenter Kirkpatrick
o The President of the college, then Brian Murphy, rejected a portion of SSPBT's budget reduction recommendation.
o Specifically, he rejected the elimination of the 10 faculty counselor positions. He said he would accept 8 of those positions for elimination, but tasked Rob Mieso (the VP of Student Services) to come up with a reorganization plan that would save enough Fund 14 money to spare the other 2 positions from elimination.
o Rob Mieso came up with his plan, which he thinks will generate enough savings for not only the 2 counselors, but also for one classified position in A & R.
o The plan is to eliminate the Associate VP of Student Services (currently vacant) and Dean of Counseling (currently filled) positions.
o Rob Mieso presented his reorganization plan at the SSPBT meeting on October 4th (this is the reorg presentation I sent you). Since I was not at the meeting, I can't speak directly to what was said or discussed there beyond that. Precious Gerardo was there, and the minutes are up on the SSPBT site.
o Basically, the membership of SSPBT was uncomfortable voting on the plan Rob Mieso presented because they felt they hadn't been
given enough information to do so, and they wanted time to discuss the proposal and perhaps offer other alternatives. The affected administrators had been notified of the reorganization plan only the day before.
o I asked the Board what they thought I should do if it came down to a vote on the proposal as it stood, and the feedback I got was to vote yes on it since it would result in saving one ACE position in A & R.

Maryland General Assembly 2017 Session
FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE First Reader
Senate Bill 362
(Senator Conway)
Judicial Proceedings and Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs
Public Information Act - Records Relating to Alleged Job-Related Misconduct by Law Enforcement Officers
This bill specifies that a record related to a formal complaint of job-related misconduct against a "law enforcement officer," including an investigation record or record of any discipline imposed, is not a personnel record under the Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA), making such a record subject to disclosure, except under specified conditions.
The bill also expands the definition of "person in interest," to include an individual that has made a formal misconduct complaint against a law enforcement officer and the law enforcement officer that is the subject of the complaint, making both individuals eligible to review the record of the investigation or adjudication of the complaint.
Fiscal Summary
State Effect: The bill's changes can be handled with existing budgeted resources, as the number of MPIA requests for investigation or discipline records is not expected to substantially increase.
Local Effect: The bill's changes can be handled with existing budgeted resources, as the number of MPIA requests for investigation or discipline records is not expected to substantially increase.
Small Business Effect:
None.
Analysis
Bill Summary: The bill incorporates the definition of "law enforcement officer" that exists in § 3-101 of the Public Safety Article, with two additions: (1) an officer who serves in a probationary status and (2) an officer who serves at the pleasure of the appointing authority of a county or municipal corporation.
A custodian of a record may deny the inspection of records of an investigation or adjudication of alleged job-related misconduct by a law enforcement officer, including records of any discipline imposed, under conditions specified in current law.
Current Law: A "person in interest" is defined in MPIA as (1) a person or governmental unit that is the subject of a public record or a designee of the person or governmental unit; (2) if the person has a legal disability, the parent or legal representative of the person; or (3) as to requests for correction of certificates of death, the spouse, adult child, parent, adult sibling, grandparent, or guardian of the deceased individual at the time of the deceased's death.
With specific regard to personnel records, custodians must deny inspection of those records, except by (1) the person in interest or (2) an elected or appointed official who supervises the work of the custodian.
Maryland Public Information Act Generally
Each governmental unit that maintains public records must identify a representative who a member of the public may contact to request a public record. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) must post all such contact information on its website and in any Public Information Act Manual published by OAG.
Duties of Custodians
A custodian of a public record must designate types of public records that are to be made available to any applicant immediately on request and must maintain a current list of the types of public records that have been so designated.
Generally, a custodian of a public record must permit inspection of the record at a reasonable time. A custodian must notify an applicant in writing or via email within 10 working days of receiving a request if the estimated time to produce responsive records exceeds more than 10 working days.
Required Denials
A custodian must deny inspection of a public record or any part of a public record if (1) the public record is privileged or confidential by law or (2) the inspection would be contrary to a State statute, a federal statute or regulation, the Maryland Rules, or an order of a court of record. Denial of inspection is also mandatory for public records relating to adoption, welfare records, hospital records, letters of reference, specified information about an individual maintained by a library, retirement records, certain police records, criminal charging documents, arrest warrants, personnel records, certain hospital and school records, records of certain State agencies, certain recorded and surveillance images, and captured plate data collected by automatic license plate reader systems. Denial of inspection is required for information in a public record relating to certain medical, psychological, sociological, and financial information; trade secrets; certain personal information about public employees; information about the security of an information system; and licensing records.
Discretionary Denials
Unless otherwise specified, if a custodian believes that inspection of a part of a public record by an applicant would be contrary to the public interest, the custodian may deny inspection to the applicant of that part of the record. Permissible denials include information relating to documents that would not be available through discovery in a lawsuit, certain information about publicly administered tests, research projects conducted by an institution of the State or a political subdivision, real estate appraisals of property to be acquired by the State prior to its acquisition, certain information on inventions owned by State public higher educational institutions, and trade secrets or confidential information owned by the Maryland Technology Development Corporation.
A custodian that denies inspection of a public record on this basis must provide (1) a written statement to the applicant giving the reason for denial; (2) the legal authority on which it is based; (3) a brief description of the undisclosed record (without disclosing the protected information); and (4) a notice of the statutory remedies available.
Background: In Maryland Department of State Police v. Dashiell, 105 A.3d 489 (2014), the Maryland Court of Appeals ruled that records pertaining to an internal police investigation of an officer initiated by the plaintiff in this case were "personnel records," and thus not required to be disclosed to a third party under MPIA. The court also held that a complainant is not a "person in interest" to whom a custodian may release personnel records. Since the disposition of this case, there has been some concern about the ability of a person who is affected by the misconduct of a law enforcement officer to be apprised of the outcome of any investigation or disciplinary action taken as a result of his/her formal complaint.

FROM: Sandie Deutsch, Department Secretary
TO: Unit Presidents
RE: Unit Annual Reports
Your Unit Annual Report forms were mailed in the January/February Unit mailing. Annual Reports should include everything your Unit has done from April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. Please distribute the forms to the appropriate Chairman. Each Chairman will have to fill out the form only once. Please instruct them to use a ballpoint pen and press hard so the carbon goes through all the copies. Annual Reports are also available on our web page – www.mnala.org
Please collect all completed reports from your Chairmen and mail them back as listed below. These must be returned on or before April 15, 2020. Please do not have each Chairman mail their reports back individually.
This year all copies are white – top copy comes to Department Office, middle copy goes to your District President and you retain the bottom copy for your files.
If your Unit did not have any activity in a program this year, complete the top informational part of the report and mark it "Did Not Participate" and send it in with the other reports. Your Unit will receive credit for filing a report for the program.
If you are attaching a narrative or additional pages of a report, please make sure they are attached to the DEPARTMENT copy of the reports. These are the copies that will be forwarded to your District Chairmen, who will be using them to make recommendations for Certificates of Merit to the Department Chairmen.
Certificates of Merit are awarded by the Department Chairmen in Americanism, Children & Youth, Community Service, Education, History-Senior and Junior, Junior Activities, Leadership, Legislation, Memorial, National Security, Past President Parley, Poppy, Public Relations, VA & R, and Service to Veterans. These are based on the activities of your Unit in the programs as reported in your Unit's Annual Reports. Please note that Senior and Junior History certificates will be awarded based on histories submitted.
Unit Annual Reports
Let's try and have 100% reporting this year. We need everyone's help and cooperation to do it!!
If you have any questions regarding the reports, please contact the appropriate Department Chairman (see Unit Guide) or the Department Office. We will be happy to assist you in any way we can.
You are receiving the Plaque and Awards packet along with the Annual Report forms this year as I see them working hand in hand. While filling out Annual Reports, please check through the Trophy and Awards to see if you have programs you would like to enter for an award. Units work so hard that I feel more need to enter and be recognized for their efforts.

ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION - ISC Infinity 2000 SECTION 17000 - PERIMETER SECURITY SYSTEM
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 GENERAL
Provide and install a perimeter security system as herein specified for the purpose of detecting entry into a designated security area. The perimeter security system is to be installed complete with appropriate controls, wiring and mounting hardware per the manufacturer's recommendations. All installation work shall be accomplished in a professional manner by manufacturer trained installers.
1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The perimeter security system shall be an electronic shock vibration type system as manufactured by Integrated Security Corporation of Walled Lake, Michigan. The system shall incorporate a meteorological device. This fully integrated monitoring sub-system shall detect environmental changes resulting from wind and precipitation and supply the necessary "real-time" data to the system processor. Based on this continuously updated flow of information the system processor shall constantly adjust sensor operating parameters to minimize the generation of environmentally induced false alarms.
This specification is to provide an operating perimeter security system complete with central monitoring computer, processor, controlled weather notification device, sensor cable, accessories and such other peripheral equipment as the site may require. The perimeter security system shall detect perimeter intrusion attempts and indicate alarms on a color graphic display on a central monitoring computer with flashing alarm zones, custom digital audio annunciation of alarms, command and control capabilities for CCTV cameras via serial port communication, on screen video of alarmed zones and a hard copy printout of alarm activity on the system printer. The system shall provide relay outputs for each zone, power/communication failure and tamper from the system processor to other site monitoring systems (if required).
Integrated Security Corporation
Perimeter Detection System Specification
The field sensors shall be installed on the fence material, concertina, razor ribbon, barbed wire or other such media as required. The sensor cable shall be mounted on the fence material, concertina, razor ribbon, barbed wire, or other such media using UV resistant cable ties.
The length of a detection zone is variable and depends to a large degree on the need for a certain section of perimeter to require extra accuracy in locating an attempted intrusion. The ISC S-10 sensor cable shall come pre-assembled with shock vibration sensors installed at regular intervals. Sensitivity shall be software adjustable individually by zone from the central computer keyboard. No field sensitivity adjustments shall be required. The system shall have separate adjustable wind and precipitation compensation settings for each zone from the central computer keyboard. No field adjustments required.
All sensor cable shall be UV resistant to sunlight and rated for direct burial cable. All sensors shall come encased in UV resistant high impact plastic with gold plated internal contact points. All sensor cables shall be fully supervised and an alarm shall be generated if any cable is cut, shorted to ground or each other. A tamper alarm shall be generated if the processor enclosures are opened via enclosure tamper switches.
The processor unit shall include controller and transponder modules and shall contain all required electronics, standby battery, power supply and other accessories as necessary. The processor unit shall contain power on indicator with power-reset switch.
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 CENTRAL MONITORING COMPUTER SYSTEM
A. The central monitoring computer have a multi Gbyte hard disk drive, color monitor, video card, high-density diskette drive, zip drive, CD ROM drive and a printer. The software shall be capable of constantly monitoring the site for intrusions regardless of the operation being performed within the system software. The system software will provide a custom site map with flashing alarm zones, custom digital audio messages for each alarm and on screen video of alarmed zones. The central monitoring computer shall have "data log" retention of alarm activity on the computer hard drive as well as a hard copy printout of alarm activity on the system printer. The site monitoring system shall provide multi-level password access and have software adjustable sensitivity settings for each zone from the central monitoring computer keyboard, no field adjustments required. The site monitoring system shall provide software adjustable wind and precipitation compensation settings for each zone individually from the central computer keyboard, no field adjustments required. The site monitoring system shall include software adjustable
Integrated Security Corporation
Perimeter Detection System Specification
event/condition zoning for each zone or software adjustable dual domain zoning for each zone from the central computer keyboard. Event/condition zoning will allow individual gate zones to be shunted when related activities occur (such as a valid card read from an access control system) during a software programmable "Time Window". The Dual Domain programming shall allow an alarm to be generated only when multiple related activities occur during a software programmable "Time Window".
The site monitoring system shall include manual keyboard access to instantaneous spot weather conditions including current wind speed and precipitation values. Automatic logging of wind speed and precipitation values to the site monitoring system database will take place at software programmable regular intervals. The site monitoring system shall include logged wind and precipitation values taken in real time when an alarm occurs.
2.2 SYSTEM PROCESSOR
A. The system processor shall monitor electronic signals from perimeter sensors and continually analyze and evaluate these signals.

SELECTING SAFER ART ADHESIVES
Alternate Formats Available
Voice: 206-263-1673 or TTY Relay: 711
Local Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County
Adhesives come in all types, shapes, and sizes - ranging from relatively safe “library paste” and “glue sticks” to potentially more harmful rubber cement, epoxy resins, model glues, and other contact adhesives. Some adhesives are pasted directly onto surfaces while others are sprayed-on using aerosol cans. Many adhesives contain toxic and flammable chemicals that can impact an artist’s health.
Choosing safer alternatives to your usual adhesives can be challenging. You still need a product that works well for your project.
This article provides some tips on choosing safer adhesives and provides some information about how you can protect yourself when you have to use the more toxic products.
**Spray Adhesives and Rubber Cement Solvents**
Some of the most commonly used adhesives include rubber cement and the spray adhesives (also known as spray mount and spray tack). The chemicals to watch out for in these adhesives are the liquid solvents. These solvents allow the adhesives to remain liquid in the container and then evaporate as the product hardens. Many of these solvents are flammable and toxic.
Dozens of solvents are used in adhesives, so how can you tell which products are relatively safe?
A visit to an art supply store or hardware store presents a bewildering array of products, all claiming to work better than others:
Let’s look at the spray adhesive choices:
There are five 3M products and two Krylon products. Although their product names describe what they can be used for, they don’t describe their hazards. If you look at the front labels, they all say “Danger! Extremely flammable liquid and vapor” but little about their toxic hazards.
More complete information about the potential for harmful effects lurk on the back of the can. One look at the Krylon can shows how challenging it can be to find and read this information.
There are 325 words in the panel on the right describing the hazards and how to safely use this material. Did you notice they recommend turning off all appliances? Most people don’t realize that spraying enough of these flammable solvents even around a gas pilot light or near someone who is smoking can cause an explosion!
**Several things to look for under “Cautions”:**
- “Contains”, followed by the names of the chemicals at the top
- “Harmful”, followed by a description of the health effects with recommendations for protecting yourself
- “First aid”, which provides instructions for medical treatment in the event of overexposure
- “Delayed Effects from Long Term Overexposure”, which in this case says “Contains solvents which can cause permanent brain and nervous system damage”
Common adhesive solvents to avoid are **hexane** and **toluene**. This Krylon adhesive has both.
- **Hexane** is a toxic solvent that has multiple health effects, ranging from irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat to nerve damage, unconsciousness and death
- **Toluene** also irritates the skin, eyes, nose, and throat, has been linked to birth defects, affects the nervous system, and causes internal organ damage
Selecting Safer Art Adhesives
Here are some alternative spray adhesives that don’t contain hexane or toluene.
Some products may contain both hexane and acetone. There is evidence to suggest they may act together to increase the destruction of nerve cells, particularly in the fingers.
**How can you protect yourself?**
The absolutely best thing to do is avoid using products that contain hazardous ingredients.
If you must use adhesives that contain solvents and other potentially harmful substances, it is very important that you avoid swallowing them, breathing in the vapors, or getting them on your skin.
If at all possible, wear coveralls with long sleeves that you wash regularly. Use gloves that are compatible with the product you are using. Contact the **Art Hazards Team** if you need help choosing the best glove for your project.
Never remove product from your skin using solvents. Use soap, water, and a good stiff brush!
A dust mask does not protect you from solvent vapors! They are only good for dust. The best way to avoid toxic solvent exposures is to either use less hazardous materials or provide adequate ventilation to keep the vapors away from you. The last line of defense is to use a respirator to filter out the vapors. Contact the **Art Hazards Team** for help in finding a way to protect your lungs from toxic solvent vapors.
**Disposal**
Empty aerosol cans can be disposed in the dumpster as solid waste. Aerosols containing spray adhesive solvents must be disposed as hazardous waste. Visit the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program’s [website](#) for information on disposal of these and other hazardous chemicals.

Introduction to Comparative Politics
Course Description: In this course, we will study some of the foundational questions of political science through comparison: What explains the emergence of the national state? Why are some countries have democratic systems and others dictatorships? Why do countries sometimes transition from one system to the other? Does democracy lead to economic equality? Why do some seemingly stable countries suddenly undergo events such as revolutions or civil wars?
Course Goals: By expanding the subjects of our analysis beyond the United States, we will gain insights about politics in general. In addition to learning about the questions that have attracted the interests of political scientists, we will sharpen our ability to dissect and build upon comparative arguments.
Assignments: The assignments of this course are designed to put you in the position of a professional scholar, which requires you to comment and write about others' work and how it can be improved. The analytical and writing skills you will develop are useful well beyond academia.
* Participation (20 percent): I intentionally list this first because it is extremely important. The advantage of taking a course, rather than just reading a set of books on your own, is that you get to participate in a learning community. Through studying this material together, we have the opportunity to each learn more than we might have on our own. This requires that each of us do what we can to make this an optimal learning environment for each other. At a minimum, this means preparing the course materials before class, coming to class ready to discuss them, listening to each other, and respecting each other.
* Two Response Papers (15 percent each): Response papers give you the opportunity to critically evaluate and reflect upon a reading or set of readings from the course. The purpose of your reflection should be to evaluate the question the author has posed, the argument the author offers, and the support upon which this argument is based. The goal is neither to summarize nor to "take down" the author. Rather, it is to think about how we as social scientists can better answer the research question. Being able to respond to the existing literature is the first step to building upon it. The first response paper, which should cover a reading or set of readings from the first 5 weeks of the course, is due at the end of Week 5. The second is due at the end of Week 10. Each response paper must be approximately 2 single-spaced pages composed using Georgia or Times New Roman 12-point font with 1-inch margins.
* Term Paper (40 percent): For those of you who plan to conduct further academic study of the materials covered in this course, the term paper can be the start of your research agenda. For those of you who do not plan to do so, the assignment will serve as an opportunity for you to compose a writing sample, which will be useful in job applications.
* Most-Similar Systems Design (10 percent): In this assignment, you will construct a causal argument using a most-similar systems design to explain a difference between two countries. This could serve as the basis for a future paper.
Diversity Statement: My goal is to create an inclusive environment in which students of all identities and backgrounds feel empowered to participate. Scholarship is a social enterprise that is enriched by mutual respect, a spirit of constructive criticism, and an embrace of diverse perspectives. If you have ideas for how I can better meet your needs or those of your classmates, please let me know by approaching me, sending me an email, or using the anonymous feedback form on the section website.

Jack Halpern
CEO, The CJK Dictionary Institute, Niiza, Japan
Summary
Non-Latin scripts:
• Arabic

• romanization
Focus on:
• special characteristics of the CJA scripts that impact MT
• role played by lexical resources such as personal name dictionaries
Transcription and Transliteration
“Never the Twain Shall Meet”
Transliteration: representing the source script letters (graphemes not phonemes) with the characters of another script.
Transcription: representing the source script of a language in the target script in a manner that reflects pronunciation.
محمد > \mHmd\
1. Phonetic transcription represents the actual speech sounds.
محمد > [muḥammad] (IPA)
2. Phonemic transcription represents the phonemes of the source.
محمد > /muḥammad/
3. Popular transcription roughly represents pronunciation.
محمد > Mohammed, Muhammad, Moohammad, Moohamad...+200

Electron Multiplying CCD Camera
Multiply faster
The ImagEM X2 is an extremely versatile camera that quietly delivers 70 frames/s at full frame and up to 1076 frames/s with analog binning and regions of interest. With very high signal to noise in near dark conditions and extremely low dark current, the ImagEM X2 enables quantitative ultra-low light imaging both for long integration times and at high speed. With EM gain off, the extremely deep full well capacity can extract information from the lowest contrast bright images. Additional new features allow for optimized camera triggering, on-board for EM gain protection, streamlined connectivity through IEEE1394b, improved overall signal to noise and increased non-EM dynamic range. Hamamatsu has taken the beloved 512 × 512 EM-CCD sensor and created a masterfully redesigned camera that delivers maximum speed and precision performance. The ImagEM X2-1K 1024 ×1024 version is also available. R
High-speed readout (ImagEM X2)
70 frames/s at full resolution
1076
frames/s at Sub-array16 pixel, 4×4 binning
Hungry for Photons
With large pixels, high QE, and relatively zero readout noise, EM-CCD technology performs in low light conditions. How low light? When you've got fewer than 10 photons per pixel between the sample and background, EM-CCDs are the perfect tool for the job, delivering the best SNR of any camera technology. For high mag, biologically relevant applications with routine exposure times of 10 ms to 30 ms, the sample is likely emitting hundreds to thousands of photons per pixel. But with faster speeds come shorter exposure times, risking the ability to capture more than tens of photons per pixel in one shot and therefore pushing the application into the ultra-low light zone.
The ImagEM X2 series makes these super-fast exposures possible and has the sensitivity to provide visually pleasing and quantitatively meaningful images in a photon-starved environment.
New Features
Faster readout
By clocking pixel readout at 22 MHz, the ImagEM X2 is able to achieve 70.4 frames/s with full frame resolution. That's more than 2× the original ImagEM and is faster than any commercially available camera using the sensor. The ImagEM X2-1K is able to run 18.5 frames/s with full frame resorution.

Corner readout
By selectively imaging at the edge of the sensor, closest to the read register of the chip, it is possible to achieve even greater speeds of small ROIs.

Lower readout noise
In any image sensor, faster readout means increased readout noise. Yet readout noise is considered irrelevant for EMCCDs because of the EM gain. The ImagEM X2 series even before applying EM gain, has fast speed and low readout noise. But didn't we just say readout noise in EM-CCD was irrelevant? Yes, in SNR equations this is true. However, if the primary purpose of EM gain is to overcome readout noise, then this will be accomplished with less gain in the ImagEM X2 series and less voltage in the EM register, translating into theoretically more stable EM gain calibrations and greater sensor longevity.
Mechanical shutter
The ImagEM X2 series includes an integrated mechanical shutter in order to protect the camera from EM gain degradation and to lessen afterimage effects. The mechanical shutter is software controlled.
EM gain measurement and calibration
Gain aging is a known and expected process in EM technology. Even when every care is taken to minimize gain aging, use of the camera in EM mode, especially with high gains or high intensity light, can degrade the gain. Since this is a usedependent phenomenon, it's important to know when it's happened and to have the ability to easily recalibrate. These two functions in the ImagEM X2 series make this crucial maintenance of the camera software accessible and user friendly.
IEEE 1394b connectivity
The data rates of the ImagEM X2 series are well suited to the trusted and easy to use 1394b connectivity.
SMA triggering ports
In its new incarnation, the ImagEM X2 series sports four shiny and compact SMA ports, one for input of an external trigger and three for output to other devices. These ports can be used to access an array of triggering options including three additional features: programmable trigger input/output, trigger delay and trigger ready. There is no denying that EM-CCD technology offers the best SNR for ultra-low light imaging, and the ImagEM X2 offers the fastest speeds combined with multiple engineering enhancements to allow you to make the most of this technology.
Direct electron display
Output signal can be indicated in "electrons" instead of pixel AD counts in application software.
Black clip / White clip function
It enables setting an upper or lower threshold of intensity. If there is a brighter or darker location than a sample of interest in an image, this function allows clipping the upper limit or lower limit of intensity to make Auto LUT function work effectively.
Cooling status output
The camera indicates when it has reached the target cooling temperature.
Applications

Calcium waves in cell networks and intracellular ion flux

Low Noise
Minimal dark noise is another benefit of stable cooling performance
The dark current of a CCD depends on the temperature, and it decreases by half when the temperature drops by approximately 7 to 8 ˚C. Therefore, cooling a CCD is a very good way to reduce dark current noise.
The ImagEM X2 series's stable cooling enables stable output and its water cooling minimizes dark current.
Highly stabilized control of sensor temperature with either water or forced-air cooling
Water or forced-air cooling is selectable for any application, and optimal cooling temperature can be set in each cooling mode.
Optimized sensor drive methods significantly reduce the clock induced charge (CIC)
Dark current consists of thermal charge and clock induced charge (CIC). CIC will dominate the dark charge in the images taken at short exposure time, and thermal charge will dominate the dark charge in images taken at longer exposures. The camera is adjusted to use the optimized drive method suitable to the scan speed. The biologist doesn't have to think about CIC optimization for long or short exposures. The camera handles it automatically.

Great Stability
Highly stabilized EM gain by cooling temperature control
Maintaining stable cooling temperature is essential to stable gain settings required for superior performance in long duration imaging and analysis. Very precise control of the cooling temperature in the ImagEM X2 series is a key benefit.
Examples of temperature stability and EM gain stability

EM gain protection
It is important to operate the camera in ways that minimize the rate of gain aging and extend the life of the camera. The ImagEM X2 protects EM gain in two levels: EM gain warning and EM gain protection. EM gain protection mode stops charge transfer through the EM gain register when excessive output conditions have occurred which may damage the sensor.
EM gain readjustment *
Over time all EM-CCD cameras exhibit gain degradation. The EM gain can be readjusted by raising the voltage in the multiplying register. The EM gain readjustment can be done by software which comes with the camera. However, the number of times the EM gain can be readjusted is limited.
*This feature is available when the camera is operated with DCAM-API. (DCAM-API is a software driver which supports HAMAMATSU digital cameras.)

An often overlooked benefit of EM-CCD technology is the ability to utilize the camera as a standard CCD. In non-EM mode, there is no effect of excess noise, and the large full well capacity and high dynamic range are ideal for bright light applications that have large intrascene dynamic range. The ImagEM X2 series provides a low read noise non-EM mode that can be an ideal choice for such applications.
Photon Imaging Mode
This is a unique technology to improve image quality at very low light level to overcome the limitation of excess noise factor from the electron multiplying process. This mode is most useful for signal levels at which maximum EM gain has no apparent signal or very little signal. The mode preserves quantitative linear signal output and also improves spatial resolution at very low light levels.
On-board Image Processing
The following real time processing functions are available.
Background subtraction
Effective for reducing fluorescence in image backgrounds.
Shading correction
This feature corrects the shading or uneven illumination in microscope images or other illumination systems.
Recursive filter
This feature provides random noise elimination in an image by weighted time based averaging.
Frame averaging
This feature provides noise elimination in an image by simple frame averaging and less "afterimage" effect than the recursive filter.
Spot noise reducer
This image processing function operates on random spots of intensity by comparing incoming images and eliminating signals that meet the criteria for noise in one image but not in others. This processing eliminates noise elements like cosmic rays.

COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATE FACT SHEET
Last Thursday, the White House released a new COVID-19 action plan. This plan includes an executive order instructing OSHA to develop a rule requiring all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or to require unvaccinated workers to produce a negative test result at least weekly.
These vaccine mandate orders also relate to federal contractors and all entities that receive reimbursements from Medicare or Medicaid.
Additionally, employers must give their workers paid time off to get vaccinated and give up to two days off to recover from vaccine effects.
Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS)
OSHA is instituting an ETS, a special type of rulemaking authority allowable when it determines that workers are in danger because of a particular hazard and that an emergency standard is needed to protect them. The ETS goes into effect as soon as it is published in the federal register and essentially operates as an interim final rule with authority to circumvent usual rulemaking processes. Barring legal overturn, these rules will remain in effect until superseded by a permanent standard.
The ETS is expected to be effectuated within the next 3-5 weeks.
Local Impacts
Louisiana falls under the jurisdiction of OSHA, requiring employers to comply with these standards. In the Capital Region, about 350 companies and nearly 56,000 employees will be impacted by the vaccine requirements.
Some of the biggest unanswered questions about this proposed new mandate:
What is considered documentation for proof of vaccination, and how will booster shots factor into compliance?
Will the requirements only apply to vaccines that the FDA fully approves?
Does the government plan to centralize vaccination tracking?
What are the consequences of falsifying one's vaccination status or test results?
What is considered suitable documentation for a negative test result?
Should employees choose not to vaccinate, is the company or employee responsible for securing and paying for testing?
When will the requirements be formally issued?
Do the new federal requirements include exemptions for religious beliefs and disabilities?
Does the order cover independent contractors?
Are there any acceptable alternatives, such as working from home?
How will exemptions for religious or health reasons be handled?
Is there adequate testing capacity to accommodate the weekly testing requirement for unvaccinated? And who would pay for required testing?
BRAC will continue to monitor forthcoming announcements and ongoing developments.

Thank you for letting me join you on this wonderful journey.
The name of my restaurant, 〈意境菜-Ikyousai-〉, has an artistic meaning that expresses the food culture using cooking methods, ingredients, and seasonings that have been passed down since ancient times in China.
The rich ingredients of Japan that I met through Shikishima, and making full use of the technology learned in Hong Kong and Beijing, I hope that you will enjoy Chinese cuisine that is both nostalgic and makes you feel like you are in China.
Please enjoy the beginning of a happy journey.

Basic Chess Openings for Kids: Play like a Winner from Move One
Award-winning author Charles Hertan knows what kids really need to know (and want to know) about getting their pawns and pieces ready for action.Traditional chess opening books concentrate on the variations in different openings. Charles Hertan believes that for beginners and advanced beginners memorizing lines is not only boring but also a waste of time.Hertans approach is different. He helps kids to develop a solid understanding of the fundamental opening principles. What are the properties of each chess piece, and how can they be mobilized effectively to work together and get a strong position on the board?In his trademark humorous and kidfriendly way, Hertan teaches what you should actually be trying to achieve at the start of a game. Kids will love learning how to avoid The Five Most Common Opening Mistakes.This is a fun, easy-to-use, down-to-earth and accessible chess opening primer.

Fort Benning, Georgia
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE
Mr. Franssen,
I would like to obtain your opinion on an application of your product in a residential area of Fort Benning, GA. We had a 20-25 gallon hydraulic release from a garbage truck. I found it surprising that results would drop from 500 mg/kg or 10,000 mg/kg to BDL within a few weeks. Since the land is owned by the Army, I want to make sure this cleanup is effective. We are very interested in using bioremediation concepts on the installation in an effort to effectively clean up spills. As the mfg of the product, I wanted to seek your guidance and determine if it is possible to drop to the levels found from our results in the time period we have been applying the product.
From my 12 plus years of experience in applying similar products for bioaugmentation or biostimulation in-situ (Regenesis, Tersus, Bioworld, ISCO, etc...). I would expect the results to take a little longer but I know that these reductions are expected when applied properly and managed accordingly.
With that being said, I am very confident that all of the activities performed in response to this cleanup are accurate and performed in accordance with all mfg suggested guidelines and any regulatory requirements. I remind you that 95% of my experience comes from applying the corrective actions in-situ so I just need to make sure.
Thanks so much.

Mr. Fraser,
As the manufacture of ACT Terra Firma we would like to thank you for inquiring about the effectiveness and cleanup times with our product. Please find attached ACT Packet I'm also send you a hard copy.
ACT Terra Firma is a revolutionary formulation using New Green Technology. Designed to mature bioremediation relieving our customer of all the burdens that have become a custom to other bioremediation products. (Please view pages 2-4)
ACT Terra Firma formulation is setting a new standard in bio-remediation by reducing cleanup time, restoring surfaces to a pre-contamination state and limiting the loss of vegetation, (Pg.5-14) effective on proteins and petroleum spills as well as animal waste (Pg.15, 16) and is able to perform in a wide range of temperatures from 150c to -69c. (Pg. 22, 26 we also have field testing) As you know Mr. Fraser that all spill sites very and no two sites are the same. As the manufacture of ACT Terra Firma we recommend that a test sample is taken before the product is applied and then retested every 15 days.
With the use of ACT Terra Firma it is not uncommon to find a site to be at a non-detectable leave in 15 days. We do have some clients that have results in 3 to 7 days. If ACT Terra Firma cleaners is applied in the proper proportions to any protein or petroleum spill a "ND" level can be achieved in 30 days.
Also in the ACT Packet you will find the EPA bio-remediation test pg.17, toxic test pg.20, USDA certification pg.18 USDA test pg.21 and Effectiveness test for the Kuwait oil lake project for KOC pg.2225.
In closing ACT BioRemediation Products are New Revolutionary cleaning product that are "Changing the way the World Cleans by using Microbes" just apply and walk away. Making bio-remediation possible on all surfaces. Please visit www.actcleaners.com

Louis Charves, Jr.
June 9, 2019
Louis Charves Jr., 82, of Somerset, MA, passed away unexpectedly at home on June 9th, 2019. He was the loving and devoted husband for 59 years to Marilyn A. (Riley) Charves.
"Louie" was raised in Swansea, MA, the eldest of eleven children born to the late Louis Patrick Charves and the late Eileen (Costa) Charves. He is survived by the following beloved: wife Marilyn, daughter Malorie A. Matta of Somerset, MA, grandsons Austin Charves Bertrand and Harrison Von Bertrand, his sisters Eileen Carpenter and her husband Alphonse, Delores Carpenter, Theresa Sawyer and her husband David, Patricia Nannery and her husband James, his brothers Lawrence Charves and his wife Joan, Joseph Charves and his wife Nelia, many nieces and nephews and friends.

Louie will be profoundly missed by his family and friends. He will be remembered for his genuine kindheartedness, friendly personality, amazing work ethic which extended far beyond conventional retirement age and health barriers, good-humored nature and heartwarming smile. He knew no strangers and was a real people person; he especially loved children.
Throughout his lifetime including up until his death, he helped many people in any capacity that he could offer, his generosity knew no bounds. His existence was focused on being an unexpected blessing to his family, friends and to people he did not know. His memory and legacy will be as a wonderful, faithful and honest man, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, businessman, neighbor and friend. He believed in God and a place called heaven.
During his lifetime Louie enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, his work life, traveling, music, skiing, ocean swimming, biking, musical theatre, road trips, reading multiple newspapers daily, cars, trucks, watching sporting events and going to restaurants.
A Gathering of Remembrance for relatives and friends will be held on what would have been Louie's 83rd birthday, Sunday, June 23, 2019, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM at Hathaway Community Home for Funerals, 900 Buffinton St. Somerset, MA.
Private interment service will take place the following day at St. Patrick's Cemetery, Somerset, MA, where he will rest amongst four generations of the Charves family.

Comments
I grew up as his neighbor many years ago. He was a good friend and caring neighbor throughout the years. Always there to lend a hand. Sad to lose him. Will be missed greatly! RIP Louie. "
Terry Soares - June 22 at 11:08 AM
So sad to hear of Louie's passing. Louie was my mentor in my younger years and more important, my lifelong friend. A lot of the worlds problems were solved during discussions at his garage. Louie had a great sense of humor and a mechanical knowledge and skill that he shared with me and countless others..I am forever grateful for Louie as my career as a mechanic and supervisor are directly related to the time we spent together. I could never thank you enough. Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again. "

Protecting children is everyone's business
Children and young people rely on responsible adults to help keep them safe. If a child talks to you about worries or feeling unsafe:
* Focus on the best interests of the child or young person.
* Write down the information.
* Listen carefully to what they say.
If your agency has child protection guidelines, refer to them.
Ask yourself:
* Is the child showing behaviours or saying things that might suggest abuse or neglect?
* Has new information increased your concerns about the child?
* Do you continue to worry after the child has visited your service?
* Do you feel you need to 'do something' to help the child?
What to do…
when you are concerned a child is being abused or neglected
Abuse and neglect
What to do when...
Consider the following to understand how a child might experience abuse and neglect:
Physical abuse
Emotional abuse
When a child has been severely hurt or injured. This can be from excessive physical punishment, beating, shaking babies, giving alcohol and drugs, strangling, scalding/ burning, punching, leaving a child alone in a car.
Sexual abuse
When a child has been touched or involved in sexual activities not appropriate to the child's age and development. This can be from sexual penetration, inappropriate touching, seeing sexual acts or being exposed to pornographic materials.
Neglect
When a child has not been provided enough care or supervision which has resulted in the child being injured or their development affected. This can be from lack of food, shelter or affection, a lack of adult supervision, untreated medical problems and abandonment.
When a child has been repeatedly treated in ways that damages their ability to feel and express a range of emotions and/or being repeatedly treated in ways that damages their selfesteem, personal development, and intellectual development. This can be from verbal abuse, rejection, threatening words or behaviours, bullying and teasing. This can also be from belittling, being made to feel worthless, unloved, "dumb" etc.
The term 'emotional abuse' includes psychological abuse (the sustained, repetitive, inappropriate, ill-treatment of a child or young person through behaviours including threatening, isolating, neglecting, discrediting, misleading, disregarding, ignoring and inappropriate encouragement) and exposure to family and domestic violence, which causes serious emotional, psychological and physical harm to children, as well as placing them at increased likelihood of abuse and neglect.
You are worried but there is nothing specific to report:
* Try to stay in touch with the family.
* Encourage their involvement in parenting activities.
* Talk to them about services that can help families.
* Link them with community groups from similar cultural or religious backgrounds.
* Talk with someone experienced in supporting families or in child protection (a colleague, or worker in another agency).
* Link the family with day care or play activities.
You can describe the abuse or neglect, or the risk. Contact:
* the Department of Communities or Crisis Care if outside business hours
* Police if you are concerned about the child's immediate safety or if criminal acts have occurred.
Referring to the Department of Communities
An officer will discuss your concerns and ask about:
* The child's details.
* The child's immediate risk.
* Why you believe the child has been abused or neglected, or is at risk.
* The person suspected of causing the harm.
* Your ongoing contact with the child.
The Department will make decisions about the kind of action that needs to be taken.
There is LEGAL PROTECTION for people who provide information to the Department of Communities 'in good faith'.
A child tells you they have been abused:
* Believe them.
* Let the child know that:
* Thank them for telling you.
_ It's not their fault.
_ You will need to tell the authorities to stop the abuse.
_ Telling you is the right thing to do.
* Let them use their own words. You may need to ask open questions (what? when? who? etc) to work out if they need immediate protection. Avoid asking questions that may lead or influence their response or that provide more details than you need.
* Contact the Department of Communities.
* Do not make promises to the child that you may not be able to keep.
* Only discuss the child's situation with people dealing with this matter.

BECOME A TRUE BLUE SWIMMER SUPPORTER!
Help ensure there are crabs for the future
Send us your crab catch data and help secure the future of blue swimmer crab stocks in Western Australia.
If you go crab fishing in WA on a regular basis, you can help us with vital research into the status of our blue swimmer crab stocks.
Department of Fisheries research scientists need your help in order to closely monitor blue swimmer crab stocks in key WA fisheries.
By sending us information about the number and size of the crabs you caught and where you caught them, you will be helping us to effectively assess the status of WA blue swimmer crab stocks.
This in turn will allow us to make informed management decisions and ensure that we and future generations can continue to enjoy fishing for these beautiful and tasty crustaceans.
Where we are focussing the research.
The three fishing areas from which we are seeking data are:
* Swan-Canning Estuary
* Leschenault Estuary and wider Bunbury area
* Geographe Bay
YOUR LICENCE FEES AT WORK
Do you fish for blue swimmer crabs in any of the listed areas?
If you do, we need your help! We need a total of at least 210 volunteers – a minimum of 70 from each fishery to keep a logbook recording the number and size of the crabs you caught and where you caught them.
Filling in your logbook:
Once you have signed up to send us your crab catch data, you will receive a Recreational Angler Program (RAP) logbook. Fill it in with details of how many blue swimmer crabs you caught, their size, and where and when you caught them, whenever you go crab fishing in the areas above from 1 June 2013 onwards.
This project is just one of a number of ways you can assist with fisheries research, and help ensure there are fish for the future. For more information on all volunteering opportunities visit the 'About Us' page at www.fish.wa.gov.au.

Task Description:
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
The environmental factors of space missions may cause accelerated physical-chemical degradation or alterations in the integrity of formulations stored on board space missions for extended periods such as on the International Space Station (ISS) and exploration missions. The degradation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and adjuvants in addition to alterations of the chemical matrix of the formulation can decrease potency and bioavailability, and increase the risk of toxicity of degraded medications. Therefore, characterizing degradation profiles and developing predictive models of degradation using results from ground-based accelerated stability, bioavailability, and toxicity studies is important to ensure safe and effective pharmacotherapeutics for astronauts during extended duration space missions. This research project addresses pharmacotherapeutics risks and gaps described in the Human Research Program (HRP) road map (ExMC 17, PHA 02), and related specific task of "Stability Analysis of ISS Medications."
The overall goal of the proposed research is to develop and validate predictive degradation models for select pharmaceutical preparations contained in the ISS medical kits. A related objective of our research is to examine whether or not integrity and performance of degraded formulations is compromised as indicated by bioequivalence in ground-based animal model. The following specific aims will be pursued to accomplish our research goal:
1) Establish a validated HPLC-MS/MS assay method that can be used for the identification and quantification of API and degradation products of the selected formulations.
2) Characterize degradation profiles and API content of medications received from ISS and compare with existing data from ISS payload and irradiation studies.
3) Conduct ground-based accelerated stability studies with matching set of medications selected for the above aims to develop predictive degradation models.
4) Estimate bioequivalence between Earth-based control and Space X returned formulations in a small animal model (rat) to examine integrity and performance of medications stored on board the ISS.

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
-- REMARKS AT THE HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT OF THE 20TH UNFCCC CONFERENCE OF PARTIES
Lima, 9 December 2014
Excelentísimo Señor Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, Ministro del Ambiente del Perú y Presidente de la COP20,
Your Excellency Mr. Sam Kutesa, President of the General Assembly,
Distinguished Heads of State and Government,
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Deseo ante todo dar las gracias al Presidente Humala y al Gobierno y al pueblo del Perú por su hospitalidad en esta histórica ciudad de Lima, y encomiar al Presidente Humala por su liderazgo en la esfera del cambio climático.
[Let me begin by thanking President Humala, and the government and people of Peru for hosting us in this historic city of Lima. I commend President Humala for his leadership on climate change.]
I carry a message of urgency and hope.
We know that by addressing manmade climate change, we can build more resilient, prosperous, and healthier societies.
But we must act now.
There is still a chance to stay within the internationally-agreed ceiling of a less than 2 degrees Celsius global temperature rise. But the window of opportunity is fast closing.
All countries must be part of the solution. All of society must be engaged.
This is not a time for tinkering – it is a time for transformation.
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The momentum for action is building.
At the Climate Summit in September, I said we needed all hands on deck.
Government, finance, business and civil society leaders answered the call.
Giants of industry – from consumer goods companies to national railways to institutional investors - demonstrated their commitment to combating climate change.
From Manhattan to Mumbai to Melbourne, hundreds of thousands of people marched for climate action.
Thousands of businesses and communities across the globe are stepping up.
And Governments are responding in unprecedented ways.
The recent US-China joint announcement, the European Union’s 2030 Climate and Energy Framework – as well as the commitment by Germany – all provide the foundation for ever higher levels of ambition.
The pledging conference of the Green Climate Fund – or GCF -- has also achieved an initial capitalisation of nearly $10 Billion. I thank all countries, both developed and developing, for their contributions.
Despite these positive steps, I am deeply concerned that our collective action does not match our common responsibilities.
I have five requests of all Parties:
First, we must deliver here in Lima a balanced, well-structured, and coherent draft text for the 2015 Agreement that provides a clear and solid foundation for negotiations next year.
We must also reach a common understanding on the scope and status of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions or INDCs.
I encourage all Parties, in particular all major economies and developed countries, to submit their INDCs by the first quarter of 2015.
Second, we need tangible progress in solidifying the climate finance regime.
I call on countries that have not yet pledged to the Green Climate Fund to consider making an ambitious financial commitment in Lima. We must also clearly define a pathway to achieving the goal of 100 billion dollars per year by 2020 in support of developing countries. I call on developed countries to mobilize support that will meet and exceed this target.
Private finance is also vitally important. We must realise the 200 billion dollars that was committed by the private finance sector at the September Climate Summit, and we must leverage still more.
Third, we must prioritize providing adaptation support and resilience building for the most vulnerable, especially the least developed countries and small island developing states. The GCF must deliver on its promise to balance support for adaptation and mitigation. Work on loss and damage must be accelerated and we must bring the National Adaptation Plans of developing countries to life by agreeing how they should be funded and implemented.
Fourth, I urge you to make a decision to stimulate and facilitate cooperation on a more comprehensive range of actions by all actors, including the private sector, civil society, cities and other sub-national actors.
From moving markets to pricing carbon, from strengthening resilience to mobilising new coalitions – the race is on to build more climate resilient, prosperous societies. Government leadership is needed to create the frameworks that can drive action and advance our socio-economic development goals. The realization of a low carbon climate resilient future requires partnership with cities, citizens and CEO’s.
Fifth and finally, I urge those countries that have not yet done so to swiftly ratify the Doha Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol, which established its second commitment period.
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Last week, I launched my Synthesis report of the post-2015 development agenda. In it, I highlighted the fundamental linkage between climate and development priorities.
Combating climate change is an essential part of the foundation of sustainable development. We cannot treat it as a separate issue, or we risk losing all the hard-won development gains of the past decades.
Investments in addressing climate change will propel gains in broader development goals. Conversely, investments made in development must be aligned with our climate aims.
Just as climate issues are not separate from development issues - climate finance cannot be treated separately from development finance. They are quite literally two sides of the same coin.
Let us speak with one voice. I call on each and every government to achieve and invest in this new climate agreement. I stand committed, and commit the United Nations system, to facilitate this.
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Starting here in this historic city of Lima, let us start to write a new history for our planet.
Let us work together to shape and advance a meaningful, universal agreement to be finalized in Paris next year.
I wish you success in your deliberations.
Thank you.
Muchas gracias.

Final Average Salary Pension Improvement Campaign
As announced in last week's Smith Hill Report, the RIFTHP has created a link to permit RIFTHP members and allies to send an email to their Senator and Representative in support of bills to improve pension benefits for public sector workers. The proposal is to boost pensions by using a 3-year average instead of a 5-year average of total compensation when calculating the retiree benefit.
To access the link, click here. As of this morning, 2861 emails have already been sent by RIFTHP members to urge the Assembly to improve pension benefits for all public employees. There are approximately 12,000 members of the RIFTHP, most of whom reside in Rhode Island and have the ability to request action by their own Senator and Representative. Budget decisions will be made in the next few weeks so advocacy should not be put off to a later date.
Speaking about member advocacy and the Pension Improvement Campaign, RIFTHP President Frank Flynn said "Teachers, state, and municipal employees, as a result of a series of drastic pension changes, must work much longer for a significantly reduced retirement benefit. We are asking the General Assembly to support this bill which would restore the "Final Average Salary" computation to where it was prior to 2009. We urge you to reach out to your elected officials and ask them to support this reasonable request."
Provider Rate Increase
Legislation passed the Assembly two years ago that requires the state to review the rates paid. to providers of social service programs. The RIFTHP joined a number of advocates to support that bill in 2022. Rhode Island now has comprehensive analysis of the level reimbursement rates must be in order to provide essential services. Rate information is available but was not necessarily used in the budget proposed by the Governor.
Legislation was introduced to require the Governor to request funding based on the rates identified by the rate review process. H 7591 by Representative Spears would require the Governor to use identified rate increases in future budget submissions. The bill was heard in the House Finance Committee on May 15. The RIFTHP offered written testimony in support of the bill.
In his letter, RIFTHP Lobbyist James Parisi supported the legislation so that a budget submission reflects actual costs necessary based on the rate review process. While the Assembly retains final authority in adopting a state budget, the RIFTHP asked that the decisions be made based on a budget request that shows what providers should be paid to provide necessary services. RIFTHP members working at the Trudeau Center have a particular interest in provider rates.
Bilingual Dual Language Certification Scholarships
On Tuesday, May 14, legislation by Representative Morales was heard in the House Finance Committee to create a scholarship program for individuals seeking to get a Bilingual Dual Language or a World Language teaching certificate. The bill, H 7594, would also allocate funding for teachers seeking to get certified in Bilingual Dual Language or World Languages Representative. Morales' bill which seeks $2 million for undergraduates and $1 million for teachers.
In order to be eligible for the scholarship program, undergraduates would need to be eligible for in-state tuition, maintain a 2.5 GPA, and commit to teach in an urban or urban ring school for a period of time commensurate with the scholarship award. The Office of Postsecondary Commissioner would administer the scholarship program.
The RIFTHP testified at the hearing and provided a letter of support for the bill. In his testimony, RIFTHP lobbyist James Parisi noted that the State has repeatedly failed to provide state funding for teacher professional development, and that this legislation would provide a targeted state funding streams for the teaching workforce. There is a critical shortage of Dual Language and World Language teachers, and this bill would help create and sustain the pipeline of teachers necessary to eliminate that shortage.
Retiree COLA Campaign
The Rhode Island AFT retiree chapter, RIAFT/R, has embarked on a campaign to get pension improvements for retired teachers and state workers. RIAFT/R is working with the Rhode Island Public Employee Retiree Coalition to support legislation that would grant a 2% pension adjustment. RIAFT/R has created a link to access their campaign to support the pension help for retirees. All RIFTHP members and allies are invited to add their voice to this campaign to benefit retirees by clicking here. Retiree pensions have been virtually frozen for the past twelve years while the cost of living has increased over thirty percent. It is long overdue for the legislature to provide relief.
Charter School Funding Change
Under current education funding law, local school districts pay tuition for each student attending a charter school. School districts are able to reduce their payment to charter schools by either 7% of local costs or more if they itemize certain funding categories such as out-of-district special education services, retiree medical benefits, or out-of-district transportation. School districts that itemize their costs are also able to further reduce their payment to mayoral academies for the cost difference in pensions. Most school district pension costs cover the unfunded pension liability accrued for past services. Mayoral Academy administrators willingly choose not to participate in the state teacher retirement plan to avoid statutory pension costs by offering a low-cost plan. They should not be rewarded at the expense of the sending districts.
Governor McKee offered a budget amendment to change charter funding by eliminating the ability to itemize costs and reduce payments to mayoral academies based on pension costs differences. Governor's Budget Amendment #18 was submitted on Friday May 10 and was heard in the House Finance Committee on Thursday May 16. The House Finance Committee budget staff offered some analysis of the impact. Some districts would pay more, and others would pay less under the proposal. Overall, if the change were implemented this year, charter schools would garner an additional $1.6 million from public school districts, with Central Falls and Woonsocket paying most of that increase.
The issue will be considered as the Assembly puts its FY 2025 budget together over the next few weeks.
Bills on the Move
The following bills have both passed the Committee that heard the bill and the full chamber. Bills must pass both chambers in concurrence (in identical form) before being sent to the Governor for signature.
Education Accountability Act - School Climate
H 7232, which was introduced by Representative McNamara, passed the House on 5/15/2024, with a vote of 65 yeas, 0 nays, and 0 members not voting.
This bill would incorporate the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's SurveyWorks school climate indicators disaggregated by local education agencies ("LEAs") and individual public schools, or any other such future system used as a replacement or substitute for SurveyWorks to measure school climate indicators for evaluating the performance of LEAs and individual public schools.
Athletic Trainer Availability
S 2146, which was introduced by Senator Lombardi, passed the Senate on 5/16/2024, with a vote of 24 yeas, 10 nays, and 3 members not voting.

International Glass
Amy West
Mastering the Language of Glass
by Shawn Waggoner
Amy West captures the magical quality of light experienced on the islands of Venice and Murano in vessel forms and engraved glass. The surrounding waters magnify the effects through changing surface reflections, ripples of refraction, and images from ancient cities cast upon a vast and changing mirror. Every season, every stage of the sun and moon, delivers mystical wonder. "Having my coffee early in the morning, it's not uncommon to hear blue-collar workers discussing the quality of light coming from the furnaces or the angle of the light as it filters through the glass of a window. In the beginning, I was amazed by that."
RiverStones
"Coming out of a dark time in my life, the light of the river playing off the movement of the current, the color of the rocks, inspired me, gently pulled me out of my darkness. Opening into the beauty and touch of the stones tumbled and shaped by the flow of the river, I found a similar sense in how I felt tumbled and shaped by recent events in my life, hoping to come out of my experiences as rounded and smooth as the stones around me."
The river Ardo is a tributary to the well-known Piave River in northern Veneto, and for West it has been a source of peace, relaxation, and inspiration. "This collection is the result of several years of finding calm in this space and stimulation from its life. Its continuity is accompanied, challenged, and contrasted by dramatic changes and modifications. The river is alive and makes its presence known to those paying attention.
With humor and patience, West meets the challenges of being a woman and a foreigner as she establishes her own studio on Murano. The benefits of living in the land of glass far outweigh the struggles. For the time being, borrowed studios provide a place for the artist to work on glass. West's repertoire includes engraving, battuto, and lampworking, and the resulting work is collected and exhibited worldwide. Last summer, in an article published by Elle Décor, her studio earned a mention for its glass vessels. The artist's current work was exhibited at the Palazzo da Mula in an exhibit called Gruppo 30141 Murano, which recognized Glass Masters of Murano.

West has studied, worked, and lived on four continents. After 20 years as an international communications professional, she left behind a successful corporate life to pursue her passion for the art and beauty of Venetian glass. In 2005, she began an apprenticeship to learn glass engraving with Luigi Camozzo, master engraver and sculptor. "My nine years working with Luigi and learning about glass through his eyes has taught me that on Murano, glass is a living entity."
From November 20, 2014, through January 6, 2015, The R|R Gallery at Reinstein/Ross in New York City presented West's first solo exhibition, RiverStones. Large projections of her sketches and photographs accompanied her glasswork in this installation-style tribute to Murano and the Ardo River. "The exhibition paid homage to the images that filled my mind and thoughts long before the collection started forming five years ago. My first collective set of work hopefully gifted the viewer with a piece of beauty that touched and moved me to this creation."

* July/August 2015

Five years ago, West began sketching the colors, light, shapes, and forms for this new series of vessels and jewels. Once her designs were formed, the vessels were blown by local glassblowers. Murano glass is usually made from raw materials according to special color recipes, or "partie," passed down through generations, or developed through evolutions of such family recipes. These used to be seriously guarded secrets, whole parts of glass equations being withheld from any one family member, in order to prevent someone from stealing the secret.
The RiverStones collection was blown in the studio of Pino Signoretto, using his glass. In some cases once the base was blown and shaped, glass was swirled around the vase, creating a multicolored striation effect that mimics the movement and dynamic of water current and flow. In other cases, colors were combined during the gather and swirled in the blowing process while the shape was being formed.
West wore one of the RiverStones necklaces to the opening of the Masters of Murano 30141 exhibition. "Someone at the opening came up to me and asked, 'Are those stones from the Piave river?' The Ardo dumps into the Piave, so to have such a precise recognition of where those come from was validating."
Once the pieces were annealed, West began carving and cutting on her lathe to texture and sculpt the glass into its final form. This stage of the process requires a minimum of two or three wheels of various grains and contours. For more complex carving, 10 or 20 various applications of wheels, texturing, and polishing occur. "Creating highlights and deep relief executed with precision and accuracy, yet leaving room for voice and flow in the glass to be, takes time and experience."
To create the jewelry for her RiverStones Collection, West used photographs in the design phase rather than drawings, because the collection needed to be more organic. Every bead was cold worked, then mounted multiple times to ensure a sense of harmony in how the necklace flows around the neck and how the beads interact with each other. "I don't like that a necklace goes to the back and stops, which is why I started from the beginning to have a series of beads in back." West creates a focus bead and a closure bead through which strands of small seed beads extend down the back, creating a watercolor effect. "It's nice because as women, as people, we are not just what you see on the front. A woman's back is a beautiful canvas. The necklace should be able to be enjoyed from all angles, and making that happen in this collection was a real challenge."

From Bead to Necklace
Inspired by Frida Kahlo, West's first jewelry collection Frida was introduced in 2008. "Frida presented herself as a work of art in how she dressed and how she wore her hair and jewelry. Most of her jewelry was made from antique ceramic beads and bones. My forms, shapes, and color inspirations were based on jewelry she wore or included in her paintings.
With a concept in mind, West creates glass beads at the torch inspired by stories and lives of artists and historical sources, as well as impressions from nature. She works with Effetre, Moretti, and Vetrofond glass, but also obtains special glass not publicly available such as Opalinos, transparent blueberry or green apple from various island furnaces, and scrap piles only insiders can access. Initially making single beads only, West now designs, flameworks, cold works, and strings complete collections of wearable art. "Making one bead at a time, I did a lot of experimenting and learned about color and creating 3-D effects by laying transparents over other colors. It was actually a wonderful introduction into the world of wearable art."
"When I started wearing the Frida pieces myself to see how they worked, the weight made me stand up taller and straighter. They received attention based on intrigue, giving me a strong sense of presence and assuredness, making me aware that this very feminine object can lend itself to being a source of assertiveness and strength. These are attributes I want to share through the creation and adornment of this collection, being strong as a female, in a feminine manner."
Using a novel approach, West began designing the Frida series by doing watercolor paintings prior to making any beads. For other series, she made beads first and did paintings after. "The initial watercolors were incredibly important when I was making the beads. Finding a way to get the glass to respond like watercolor was a wonderful series of experiments. I also had to find textures that would project the sensations the necklaces gave me. Through this work I learned what a collection can be." West finished the last Frida necklace in 2014, and the collection was shown in Amsterdam at ArtFair as featured artist along with the Lilly Zeligman Gallery.
Hot glass at the torch allows West to bring her contemporary expression and sensibilities to the form, color, and light of her glass beads, rings, and necklaces. "The more comfortable glass becomes as a medium, the more it reveals its possibilities in design, lighting, and technique innovation."
In 2009, Italian glass company Salviati was purchased by new owners who wanted West to design a line of jewelry that could be mass produced, but not look like it was, along with one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces. Her designs for the collection were inspired by company history, including various Salviati designers and masters, glass from the 1800s, Salviati colors, combinations of colors from vases and pieces in current production, and beads that look like vases designed in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Though the company did not move forward with its jewelry line and the collection was never brought into full production, West loved doing the designs and the creative process of working with Vicenza goldsmiths.
Engraving
Battuto, literally meaning "beaten" in Italian, is a style of cold working glass using diamond and stone wheels on a lathe to sculpt and bring texture to the surface of the glass. Battuto can also modify the shape of an object and add refined detail and texture that cannot be achieved in hot glass work.
From a young age, West was mesmerized by glass prisms, the refraction and reflection, projection, and movement in light and color. Incising and cutting into the surface of glass fascinates West, who is captivated by light and how it can be transformed by a simple stone cut into glass, creating designs and images. Through traditional wheel engraving on a lathe obtained with stone, diamond, or copper wheel incisions, West applies texture and shading to add dimension, perspective, and richness to her work. Her designs draw heavily on cultural, historic, and organic influences.
West engraves and does battuto texturing on vessels and beads. She also frequently embellishes beads with engraved phrases and quotes. "Engraved glass is the least popular in terms of marketing. Due to my background in book arts and calligraphy, I love the detail that engraving brings to my work. What is impressive to me is being able to put pressure on the wheel to shape the glass, forcing the light that filters through it to be refracted in a new way. Which wheel I use and the shapes and cuts I make change and sculpt the light that is reflected on and through glass."
West works closely with Murano glassblowers to make her vessel form designs. At the hot shop, she lays out and configures her murine and colors, while blowers do the roll up and blowing of the piece. Her new studio will accommodate an engraving lathe for continuing her experiments and designs on traditional blown glass and will eventually house a larger lathe for bigger battuto pieces and heavier cold working.
Another Day in Paradise
Merging other areas of creativity and artistic interests, West draws on her vast experiences in cultures from around the world, expressing a unique style that is truly her own. A contemporary art collector recently asked if she would consider doing an installation piece in large scale, hanging from the ceiling. "That suggestion blew my world open to a whole other level. The next stage of my development will be three-dimensional sculptures and hanging pieces. I'm excited to get started on that."
In the summer of 2015, West will teach a class in battuto and cold working, "Texturing Glass," at The Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, July 27–August 1. Her partner, Davide Fuin, will be teaching a master's course at Corning during this same time. Fuin was raised around glass on Murano, often accompanying his father to his job at Barovier & Toso. Davide worked at Venini from 1978 until 1980, when a number of masters, including his father, left Barovier & Toso to open their own factory, Toso Vetri d'Arte. He joined his father and began working with the master Carlo Tosi.
The Broken Column from the Frida Collection Photo by Norbert Heyl.
Having lived internationally and studied four languages before starting to work in glass, West established a pattern of completely immersing herself in a culture and language, but would eventually get bored and move on. "I was really afraid glass would be the same, but there will always be much more to glass than I can ever learn and understand. It's a language that will never be boring or have any confines for me or my imagination."
Caramea. In the late 1990s, Fuin founded D.F. Glassworks with two assistants. They primarily produce glasses and stemware, together with museum reproductions in traditional Venetian style.
West's work is available at her studio and exhibition room on Murano, with viewing by appointment or upon request via e-mail. Walk-ins are accepted, but appointments are preferred.

WELLS TO BE PLUGGED AND ABANDONED MUST BE PLUGGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 16 (SHOWN BELOW) OF THE WELL CONSTRUCTION AND PUMP INSTALLATION RULES. A WELL ABANDONMENT REPORT, FORM NO. GWS-9, MUST BE SUBMITTED TO CONFIRM THE PLUGGING OF THE WELL. This form is available from our website at the link stated in the first paragraph on this page, or from any Division of Water Resources office.
RULE 16 STANDARDS FOR PLUGGING, SEALING, AND ABANDONING WELLS AND BOREHOLES
16.1 General - The plugging, sealing and abandonment of all wells, monitoring and observation wells, monitoring and observation holes and test holes that are no longer intended for use, and the plugging, sealing, and abandonment of dry holes, collapsed or unusable boreholes, and other incomplete wells or excavations is necessary to prevent contamination of ground water and the migration of water through the borehole. It is the ultimate responsibility of the well owner to have an existing well properly plugged, sealed and abandoned. The well construction contractor or authorized individual is responsible for notifying the well owner in writing of these plugging requirements.
16.1.1 In the event a borehole(s) is not completed for the intended purpose, the contractor will notify the well owner of the well owner's responsibility for the proper abandonment of the borehole(s) according to Rule 16.1. If the well owner does not agree to allow the contractor to abandon the borehole(s), the contractor shall notify the Board of Examiners, in writing, of the existence of the borehole(s) and the contractor's effort to notify the well owner of the well owner's abandonment responsibilities under Rule 16.1
16.1.2 Persons authorized to install pumping equipment may plug, seal and abandon wells that do not require the removal of casing that penetrates more than one aquifer or the ripping or perforating of casing opposite confining layers.
16.1.3 Materials used for backfilling shall be clean, inert, and free from contaminants. The well casing may be cut off below land surface so that it will not interfere with the anticipated use of the land. If the casing is cut off below land surface, the uppermost five (5) feet of the remaining casing shall be filled with grout or a watertight cover shall be permanently attached to the remaining casing and the excavation shall be filled with materials that are not more permeable than the surrounding soils and adequately compacted to prevent settling.
16.2 Wells or Boreholes in Type II and Type III Aquifers - Wells completed into unconfined aquifers and unconsolidated aquifers shall be plugged, sealed and abandoned by filling the well to the static water level with drill cuttings, clean sand or clean gravel, then with clean native clays, cement or high solid bentonite grout to the ground surface. The uppermost five (5) feet of casing shall be filled with grout or a permanent watertight cover shall be installed at the top of the casing. If casing is removed, the hole shall be filled as described above to within five (5) feet of the ground surface. The top five (5) feet of the hole shall be filled with materials less permeable than the surrounding soils that are adequately compacted to prevent settling.
16.2.1 Dewatering wells, horizontal drains, monitoring and observation holes, percolation holes, piezometer holes, sumps, test holes and dry holes shall be plugged, sealed, and abandoned either pursuant to Rule 16.2 or by removing all casing that was installed and by filling the hole(s) with drill cuttings, clean native clays, cement or high solid bentonite grout to within five (5) feet of the ground surface. The top five (5) feet of the hole shall be filled with materials less permeable than the surrounding soils that are adequately compacted to prevent settling.
16.3 Wells or Boreholes in Type I Aquifers - Wells which were constructed through more than one aquifer shall be plugged and sealed by placing a cement grout plug at the confining layer above each aquifer. If records do not show that the casing opposite each confining layer has been grouted when originally installed, the casing shall be either completely removed from the hole, or perforated or ripped opposite such layer prior to placing the grout plug. Plugs shall be no less than forty (40) feet in length and shall be designed to withstand the maximum potential hydrostatic pressure differential between the aquifers. The well casing, except for the grout plug intervals, shall be completely filled to the land surface with clean native clays, cement or high solid bentonite grout. A watertight cover shall be permanently welded or attached to the top of the casing.
THE ISSUANCE OF THIS PERMIT DOES NOT CONFER A DECREED WATER RIGHT.

The well construction and pump installation reports must be submitted to the office of the State Engineer within sixty (60) days of completion of the work or prior to the expiration date of the permit, whichever is earlier. Your contractor must provide you with a copy of the work report(s) filed with the State Engineer. The Well Construction and Test Report and the Pump Installation and Test Report forms are available from our website at the following link: http://www.water.state.co.us/pubs/wellforms.asp, or from any Division of Water Resources office.
You have been provided with at least one copy of the well permit. Keep a copy for your records. You will need to make additional copies for the well construction contractor, if you select one different from the one indicated in your permit application, and the pump installation contractor.
The following, and other requirements are spelled out in the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules. Forms are available from the Division of Water Resources offices.
- If the name and license number of the Colorado licensed well construction contractor was not specified on the well permit application, or has changed, the permittee must notify the State Engineer in writing of the name and license number of the contractor on a NOTIFICATION OF DRILLING CONTRACTOR (Form No. GWS-21) at least 10 days prior to commencement of construction of the well.
- If a well permitted pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(4) will not be constructed and/or pumping equipment installed prior to the expiration of the permit, the permittee may submit to the State Engineer a REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF WELL PERMIT EXPIRATION DATE (Form No. GWS-64). The expiration date of the permit may be extended one time only for a period not to exceed one year. If an extension of time is necessary to construct the well and/or install pumping equipment, you must file the written request on the form or by letter to this office along with a $60 filing fee prior to the expiration date. In the request, it is necessary to provide reason(s) why the well cannot be constructed and/or pumping equipment installed prior to the expiration date. The request must be received by the Division of Water Resources prior to the permit expiration date.
Metering and Reporting Withdrawals from Wells Permitted Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(4): In order to administer these wells, the State Engineer shall require the permittee to install and maintain a totalizing flow meter to measure all withdrawals from the well. As a minimum, the meter shall be installed according to manufacturer's recommendations and shall contain sufficient recording digits to assure that "roll over" to zero does not occur within three years. The meter shall be maintained by the permittee so as to provide a continuous, accurate record of withdrawals. If the meter is not operational, the well shall not be pumped. The State Engineer may approve a substitute totalizing measuring device if it is capable of recording or can be used to calculate the total volume pumped. The permittee shall report the amount of withdrawal from the permitted well as reasonably required by the State Engineer.
Geophysical logs will be required for all wells permitted pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(4) unless there is an existing geophysical log from that aquifer located within 1,320 feet of the proposed well which is acceptable to the State Engineer and is representative of aquifer conditions at the location of the permitted well. The permittee will be
responsible for obtaining and submitting a copy of the existing geophysical log unless it is currently on file in the State Engineer's Office.
If the new well is geophysically logged, the permittee is responsible for obtaining and submitting those required geophysical logs to the State Engineer's Office. The minimum requirement will be for both resistivity and spontaneous potential (SP) logs, which must be obtained prior to the installation of well casing. The resistivity log must record values at approximately one-and-three-foot depths of investigation. The vertical scale shall be either one inch equals twenty feet or one inch equals fifty feet. If additional types of logs, including gamma, neutron, porosity, sonic, single-point resistance, and caliper, are obtained, copies of these logs shall also be submitted to the State Engineer's Office. The entire set of logs must be submitted to the State Engineer's Office within sixty days following collection of the data. If a permittee, or an applicant drilling a test hole, desires to use other geophysical logs to meet the minimum requirement, he must apply in writing to, and obtain approval from the State Engineer's Office prior to well construction. In the event that the data provided contain trade secrets, privileged information, or confidential commercial, financial, geological or geophysical date, the State Engineer shall deny the right of inspection of such data to any person and keep the data confidential pursuant to C.R.S. 24-72-204(3)(a)(IV), provided the applicant notifies the State Engineer in writing requesting such protection.
The State Engineer may require the applicant to submit the geophysical well logs prior to the casing of the production well in order to determine the appropriate producing interval. In such a case, the State Engineer shall inform the applicant of the appropriate producing interval within two working days of receipt by the State Engineer of the geophysical logs.
**GEOPHYSICAL LOGGING REQUIREMENTS**
Please note that the conditions of approval on the well permit require that the hole be geophysically logged prior to the installation of the casing. Listed below are standards acceptable to the State Engineer, which must be met to fulfill this logging requirement.
1) Resistivity and Spontaneous Potential (SP) logs are required.

COMPARISON OF PROPERTIES OF A PITCHED-BALL ROTATION MEASURED BY THREE DIFFERENT METHODS
Tomoyuki Matsuo\textsuperscript{1}, Hiroki Nakamoto\textsuperscript{2}, and Masahiro Kageyama\textsuperscript{2}
Department of Health & Sport Sciences, Osaka University, Toyonaka, Japan\textsuperscript{1}
Faculty of Physical Education, National Institute of Fitness & Sports in Kanoya, Kanoya, Japan\textsuperscript{2}
The purpose of this study was to compare the properties of a pitched-ball rotation, such as the spin rate and direction of the spin axis, which were measured by 2D images with a 3D registration method (2DR), the 3D direct linear transformation method (3DLT), and a Doppler radar measurement system (DRS). The pitched baseball was recorded by using two high-speed cameras (2,000 Hz) and DRS (48,000 Hz). For 2DR and 3DLT, some landmarks on the pitched ball were digitized to calculate the location in 2D and 3D space. For DRS, the 3D spin axis was calculated using equations developed by Nathan (2015). We found that the properties of the fastball were comparable among the three methods, but the properties of pitches that were not fastballs were not always comparable with the others.
KEY WORDS: baseball, pitching, direct linear transformation, 3D registration, Doppler radar measurement system
INTRODUCTION: The trajectory of a pitched/batted ball is determined by its initial properties, that is, the translational velocity, the spin rate, and the axis of rotation. According to Jinji et al. (2007), the location of the pitched fastball at the home plate deviated 0.37 m vertically and 0.2 m horizontally, due to the force derived from the ball rotation. However, it took long time for them to digitize the landmarks on the pitched ball to derive these numerical values. Recently, properties of a pitched/batted ball have been available in real time by using a Doppler radar measurement system (DRS). Major League Baseball officially announces the spin rate as well as the pitched ball velocity. Information on the properties of ball rotation is important for pitchers to improve their pitching performance, for batters to work out countermeasures for the pitched ball, and for team management to recruit new promising players. DRS is an apparatus that meets some of these demands. It provides information on the properties of ball movement in real time. However, there remains doubt as to the accuracy of DRS in some situations (Nathan, Kensrud, Smith & Lang, 2014). According to Nathan et al. (2014), data from DRS for batting were not accurate when the batted ball was a line drive. They mentioned that we should take care of the problem of inaccuracy when using DRS to measure the spin of a pitched ball. The purpose of this study was to compare the spin rate and direction of the spin axis of a pitched baseball by measuring with three different methods including DRS.
METHODS: Ethics approval was obtained from the institutional ethics committee of National Institute of Fitness & Sports in Kanoya. Three participants (two right handed and one left handed) who gave an informed consent threw a baseball on which some letters and marks (A, E, M, H, square, and triangle) were written (Fig. 1). The ball was thrown from the pitcher’s rubber on an indoor mound to the home plate. Each participant threw fastball and curveball two to five pitches each. In addition, one participant threw 2 forkballs. The total number of pitches was 20. The mean velocity and standard deviation for the fastballs was 30.0 ± 1.3 m/s. The pitched baseball was recorded using two high-speed cameras (MEMRECAM HX-5, NAC Image Technology Inc., Tokyo) (2,000 Hz) and measured by the TrackMan system (TrackMan Baseball, TrackMan, Vedbaek, Denmark) (48,000 Hz). One of the high-speed cameras was located between the pitching mound and second base (back view), and the other high-speed camera was located at a spot perpendicular to the line from the pitcher’s plate to the home plate and approximately 2.5 m away from the line and the pitcher’s plate.
Each camera was focused on the ball just after the instant of ball release. The TrackMan system was deployed at 3 m behind the home plate and 3 m above the floor.
The corners of the letters or marks written on the pitched ball were digitized to calculate the 3D location using the 3D direct linear transformation method (3DLT). The calibration volume was 0.5 m cube and mean reconstruction error was below 1.0 mm. The center of the ball for 3DLT was calculated using the equation for a sphere with the nonlinear least square method based on four landmarks on the ball (Matsuo et al., 2016).
The method using 2D images with a 3D registration was also adopted (2DR). The method is similar to that employed in the previous study (Nagami et al., 2011), but the baseball used for analyzing the ball spin was rotated in mathematical world instead of using the custom-made apparatus. Reflective markers (6-mm diameter) were placed on the corners of the letters or marks and were recorded with an eight-camera motion capture system (Mac3D system, Motion Analysis Corp., Santa Rosa, CA, USA) after the pitching sessions were completed (Figure 1). The 3D locations of the corners of the letters or marks were calculated using the 3D DLT method. Then, the center of the ball was calculated using the same method as mentioned above. The orthogonal local coordinate system of the ball was set at the center of the ball. The ball size was scaled into the same pixel size as the back-view 2D images, and the ball coordinate system was rotated to minimize the difference of the location from the corresponding three landmarks of the back-view 2D image which were arbitrarily selected from the corners of the letters or marks, using the nonlinear least square method.
The angular velocity of the ball and the axis of rotation were calculated based on the derivatives of the axes of the local coordinate system which set on the registered ball for 2DR or on the pitched ball for 3DLT.
Output from the TrackMan system did not include the 3D direction of the spin axis. Therefore, we used equations developed by Nathan (2015) and calculated the following angles.
The angle between the global x-axis and the projected vector of the spin axis onto the frontal plane was defined as a roll angle ($\theta$ in Figure 2). The angle between the global x-axis and the projected vector of the spin axis onto the transverse plane was defined as a yaw angle ($\phi$ in Figure 2).
**RESULTS and DISCUSSION:** The spin rates of the pitched ball were comparable with each other and the previous studies (Jinji, et al., 2007; Ngami, et al., 2011). The coefficient of correlation between all combinations among the three methods were greater than 0.92. Figure 3 shows a typical example of these relationships. The coefficient of correlation between 2DR and DRS was 0.971 ($r^2 = 0.944$, $p < 0.01$). Although a significant relationship was found between these two methods, approximately 500 rpm of the difference in the spin rate between these methods was found during one trial (the hash-marked circle in Figure 2).
From the viewpoint of practical use, this was too large to be ignored. After this outlier was removed, the coefficient correlation was 0.999 ($r^2 = 0.991$, $p < 0.01$), the slope of the regression line was 0.989, and the intercept was 0. This means that the spin rates measured by these methods almost completely coincided with each other. The outlier was a forkball.
The participant throwing this forkball threw another forkball during the pitching session. However, DRS could not access its rotation properties. The spin rate of the forkball measured by 2DR was 375 rpm. These results suggested that DRS has the same accuracy as 2DR and 3DLT for fastballs and curve balls, but not for pitch types with a low spin rate, such as the forkball.
**Figure 3:** Relationship of spin rates measured by 2DR and DRS. Each plot indicates a pitch. Each shape (circle, triangle, or diamond) is a participant. Circles indicate a left-handed pitcher. Open marks are fastball, filled marks are curve balls, and hash-marked circle indicate a forkball.
For the roll angle, the coefficients of correlation between all combinations among the three methods were greater than 0.960. The relationship of the roll angles between 2DR and DRS is shown in Figure 4A as a typical example. The coefficient of correlation was 0.973. This means that these methods highly agree with each other. However, we found a greater variation in the curve balls thrown by a pitcher (filled circles). The roll angles of the curve balls for the pitcher measured by DRS ranged from 125° to 216°. By contrast, those measured by 2DR ranged from 128° to 133°. The range of roll angle measured by DRS was much greater than that reported in the previous studies (Nagami, et al., 2015, 2016).
**Figure 4:** Relationship of roll angles (A) and yaw angles (B) between 2DR and DRS. Solid line indicates regression line. Each plot is a pitch. Each shape (circle, triangle, or diamond) is a participant. Circles indicate a left-handed pitcher. Open marks are fastball, filled marks are curve balls, and hash-marked circle indicate a forkball.
The range of the roll angles of curveballs for another pitcher measured by 3DLT was greater (−130° to −50°) than the others (−110° to −107° for 2DR and −119° to −131° for 3DLT).
For the yaw angle, the coefficients of correlation between all combinations of the three methods were greater than 0.9, similar to the roll angle (Figure 4B). However, the variation in the yaw angle of the curve ball pitched by a pitcher and measured by 2DR was greater than that measured by DRS. The ranges were 150° to 214° for 2DR and 106° to 113° for DRS. A
similar trend was found in the relationship between 3DLT and DRS. The range measured by 3DLT (34° to 123°) was greater than that of the other two methods.
There is no gold standard for measuring the spin properties of a pitched baseball. Thus, we cannot decide which method is the most accurate. However, both the spin rates and directions of the spin axis of the fastballs measured by the three different methods were comparable with each other and the previous studies (Jinji, et al., 2007; Nagami, et al., 2011, 2016). Therefore, it is reasonable to say that any method employed in this study is suitable for measuring the spin properties of fastballs. On the other hand, the spin properties for some pitch types (except for the fastball) were not always comparable during practical use. In this study, the yaw angle of the curveball thrown by a right-handed pitcher had greater variability in 2DR and 3DLT. Weak points of DRS included the following: pitch types with lower spin rates, and the roll angle of the curve ball thrown by a left-handed pitcher in this study.
Inaccuracies may result from the relationship between the direction of the spin axis and the camera position, and errors in the digitizing procedure. We must pay attention to the fact that spin parameters measured by the methods employed in this study sometimes includes inaccurate values, especially in the case of pitch types except for fastballs.
**CONCLUSION:**
We compared the spin rate and direction of the spin axis of a pitched baseball. Measurements were conducted using 2DR, 3DLT, and DRS. Most of these properties were comparable with each other, but not in all cases. Therefore, when we measure or use the spin properties, we should pay attention to the characteristics of the method employed, especially when measuring pitches that are not fastballs.

How to Determine Column Volume and Porosity
AKN0015
Introduction
Measurement of the internal volume of an LC column is useful for a number of aspects of liquid chromatography, including determination of appropriate equilibration times, gradient reequilibration times, setting appropriate injection volumes and performing gradient adjustments and translations. This Knowledge Note explains how the column volume can be calculated and experimentally measured.
Estimating Column Volume (V M )
Experimental Determination of Column
A convenient estimate of V M in mL, can be obtained using the following equation.
where L is the column length in mm and d c is the column internal diameter in mm. This method provides an estimate accurate to within approximately 10% and is suitable for applications where an accurate measurement of V M is not essential, e.g. establishing appropriate equilibration times or postgradient re-equilibration times for a column.
Calculating V M
For activities such as method transfer and translation, a more accurate calculation of V M is necessary. The volume of the empty stainless steel column is easily calculated from πr 2 L. However, as the column is packed with packing material, only a fraction of the column volume is available to be occupied by mobile phase. Multiplying by the column porosity (ε) therefore provides an accurate value of V M :
Volume and Porosity
If the porosity of the column is unknown, or a very accurate determination is required, both V M and ε can easily be determined experimentally by measuring the column dead time (t 0 ), through injection of an unretained analyte or solvent.
Injection of sample diluent or a pure mobile phase solvent (e.g. water) can often be used to generate a baseline disturbance at t 0 (Figure 1). Uracil or thiourea are commonly used as unretained t 0 markers in reversedphase, whilst toluene can be used in HILIC. Ionic components have also been used as t 0 markers, although care must be taken to avoid ion exclusion effects from the packing material pores 1 . Whichever method is used,
It should be noted that different packing materials will have significantly different porosities, for example fully porous vs solid core (superficially porous, core shell or fused core) columns. ACE fully porous particles have a porosity of 0.63, whilst ACE UltraCore particles have a porosity of 0.55. Porosities of other manufacturer's columns may differ somewhat from these values. Tables 1 and 2 show calculated V M values for commonly used ACE fully porous and solid core column formats.

it is important to be consistent in its application and measure t 0 at the same point of the baseline disturbance from run to run and column to column. V M can be determined from the measured t0 value by multiplying by the flow rate (F) in mL/min:
If required, the column porosity can be determined as the ratio of V M to the volume of the empty column:
Small Column Formats
When measuring the column volume via determination of t 0 , you are actually measuring the column volume plus the system extra column volume or ECV (i.e. the internal volume of the flow path within the system, comprised of Autosampler components, tubing, detector flow cell etc.). For details on how to measure ECV, please refer to AKN0017. For traditional format columns (e.g. 4.6 mm i.d.), the ECV is relatively insignificant compared to the column volume. For smaller format columns (e.g. ≤ 2.1 mm i.d.), the contribution of ECV to the measured t 0 can result in a significant over-estimation of V M . In this case, the ECV (in units of mL) should be subtracted as follows to obtain an accurate value:

Conclusion
This Knowledge Note has described how to estimate, or experimentally determine, column volume and porosity. These parameters are important for calculating equilibration times etc. and most important for accurate method translation.

SECOND QUARTER 2019
RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT
Sound performance in both Collection and Sorting
The second quarter 2019 was a robust quarter, fueled by strong momentum in Recycling for TOMRA Sorting Solutions and growth in newly entered deposit markets for TOMRA Collection Solutions.
Revenues in the second quarter 2019 amounted to 2,318 MNOK up from 2,128 MNOK in second quarter last year, representing a growth of 8%. Organic, currency adjusted revenues were up 6% for the group, stable for TOMRA Collection Solutions and 11% for TOMRA Sorting Solutions.
Gross margin was 45% in the quarter, up from 43% in second quarter 2018, due to improved margins for both TOMRA Collection Solutions and TOMRA Sorting Solutions.
Operating expenses totaled 689 MNOK in the second quarter, up from 609 MNOK in second quarter last year. The increase was related to higher general business activity, future oriented ramp-up activities and currencies.
EBITA was 352 MNOK in second quarter 2019 versus 307 MNOK in second quarter 2018.
Cash flow from operations in second quarter 2019 equaled 45 MNOK, compared to 126 MNOK in second quarter 2018, with 69 MNOK in positive effect from IFRS 16.
"We are overconsuming our planet's resources and drastic measures must be taken to move away from a "take, make and dispose" mentality. TOMRA has a clear vision for our contribution to building a circular economy, combining the use of technology for automated collection systems and advanced sorting solutions. However, technology alone is not enough, various stakeholder groups must join forces to make real impact. That is why TOMRA is taking a thought leadership role by facilitating industry collaboration through our own initiatives such as TOMRA Leads and being core members of global initiatives such as Alliance to End Plastic Waste", says Stefan Ranstrand, TOMRA President and CEO.
Collection Solutions: Stable business with upside from Australia
Revenues in the business area equaled 1,088 MNOK in the second quarter, up from 1055 MNOK in second quarter last year. After adjustment for currency changes, revenues were unchanged.
Gross margin was 43%, up from 42% from last year. Operating expenses amounted to 288 MNOK, up from 259 MNOK last year, due to currencies and preparations for new markets. EBITA was 183 MNOK compared to 182 MNOK second quarter last year.

On 12 June 2019, the EU Single Use Plastic Directive was published in the official journal of the EU, which included a 90% recycling target on plastic bottles by 2029. The member states now have two years to transpose the directive into their national laws.
Sorting Solutions: Solid revenue and margin growth
Revenues equaled 1,230 MNOK in second quarter 2019, up 11% in local currencies. Gross margin was 46%, up from 44% same period last year due to improved margins in all business streams. Operating expenses were up from 330 MNOK to 377 MNOK, due to higher activity and currency.
EBITA increased from 145 MNOK in second quarter 2018 to 193 MNOK in second quarter 2019, positively influenced by higher revenues and improved gross margin.
Order intake amounted to 1,111 MNOK, compared to 1,144 MNOK same period last year. The order intake was slightly up in Recycling and somewhat weaker in Food. The order backlog ended at 1,345 MNOK, a decrease from 1,585 MNOK at the end of second quarter last year.

Mr. Jim Hattaway, Co-Chair Mr. Doug Slape, Co-Chair Risk-Focused Surveillance (E) Working Group National Association of Insurance Commissioners Via email: c/o Becky Meyer ([email protected])
Re: Comments on Re-exposure of ORSA Guidance in the Financial Analysis and Financial Condition Examiners Handbooks regarding reviewing and utilizing ORSA Summary Reports
Dear Messrs. Hattaway and Mr. Slape,
On behalf of the American Academy of Actuaries 1 ORSA Subgroup, I appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on the June 2014 updated drafts of guidance on Own Risk Solvency Assessment (ORSA) review to be incorporated in the Financial Analysis Handbook and the Financial Condition Examiners Handbook.
The ORSA Subgroup appreciates the working group's efforts to address the comments received on the first draft in such a timely manner. It is evident from the currently exposed revisions, that many of our prior comments, as outlined in our May 16, 2014 letter, 2 were considered and addressed. To the extent any of the detailed comments in that letter were not addressed, we have not reiterated them below. Instead we have chosen to offer our comments on the revised drafts, specifically related to any changes from the prior versions.
- The added clarification regarding the role of the Lead State is helpful, as is the specific commentary regarding the uniqueness of each ORSA report and associated dialogue. We agree with the suggestion that the Lead State analyst may want to include the Lead State actuary and examiner in the discussions.
- The reduced specificity in some of the guidance is appropriate in light of the current evolving status of ORSA. Because of the developing practices in enterprise risk management (ERM) and ORSA reporting, the early stages of ORSA use by the regulatory community, and the desire by the NAIC to maintain a principle-based approach, additional time may be needed to fully develop an approach for using an ORSA report as part of financial surveillance. Over time, more specific guidance for analysts and examiners might be appropriate.
1 The American Academy of Actuaries is an 18,000-member professional association whose mission is to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession. The Academy assists public policymakers on all levels by providing leadership, objective expertise, and actuarial advice on risk and financial security issues. The Academy also sets qualification, practice, and professionalism standards for actuaries in the United States.
2 http://actuary.org/files/Acad_on_ORSA_exam_guidance_051614.pdf
- We appreciate the acknowledgement that the ERM framework needs to be adapted to the scale and complexity of the insurer. Thus, a company could have a robust risk measurement in one area and a less robust measurement for another area depending on its ownership structure, risk profile, capital position, strategic business plan or any other specific characteristics or unique set of circumstances. We believe it is the alignment of the maturity level of a risk management system with the key characteristics or circumstances or the company (ownership structure, risk profile, capital position, strategic business plan, etc.) that should be evaluated instead of the ERM maturity level.
- We appreciate the added recognition that the Risk and Insurance Management Society's (RIMS) Risk Maturity Model is just one point of reference, and that other reference points and approaches to ERM may be appropriate for individual insurers depending on their unique circumstances.
- We continue to have some concern with the inclusion of the documentation templates in the guidance. While we appreciate that providing standard templates to help promote consistency may be desirable, inclusion of maturity assessment templates at this early stage may foster a "checklist" thought process for review of ORSA, and also could unduly weight the appropriateness of the RIMS maturity model for every insurance enterprise. We would suggest that the templates be removed in the initial guidance, and as knowledge evolves and experience with review processes grows, they could be introduced in a more productive way.
As we indicated in our prior letter, our subgroup is writing a document on how ORSA can support the regulatory review process, which we will share with interested regulators upon completion. While our document may have some degree of overlap with the guidance for analysts and examiners, it is intended to provide information for the regulatory community as well as insurance company executives, regarding ERM practices that are specific to the insurance industry and how those practices can provide valuable information regarding a company's risk profile. This effort will provide complementary information that may be helpful to analysts and examiners.
We also appreciate that the NAIC guidance places appropriate reliance on actuarial involvement in the surveillance process, and we will soon be publishing a document that presents the role of the actuary in the ORSA reporting process.
*****
We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with these comments and would be happy to discuss these comments with you further. If you have any questions, please contact Heather Jerbi, the Academy's assistant director of public policy, via email ([email protected]) or phone (202.223.8196).
Sincerely,
Patricia Matson, MAAA, FSA Chairperson, ORSA Subgroup Risk Management and Financial Reporting Council American Academy of Actuaries

National Skills Coalition's Supportive Services Academy Application
National Skills Coalition is launching a Supportive Services Academy to support state teams in advancing state policies that expand access to supportive services so that people with lower incomes can complete education and training programs. Applications for participation are currently being accepted and are due November 1, 2019. Priority in team selection will be given to SkillSPAN partners. The Academy will officially launch in December 2019 and run until December 2020.
I. Why a Supportive Services Academy?
The cost of participating in skills training goes beyond tuition or costs of a training course and includes non-tuition costs like transportation, childcare, books and supplies, equipment, etc. For too many people with low incomes – particularly people balancing the costs of training with family expenses —those costs present huge obstacles to accessing and completing a postsecondary training program.
Federal human services programs – e.g., Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) – can provide these critical supportive services. However, they are often underutilized by states or not used in alignment with postsecondary and workforce training efforts.
Changing this paradigm can help more people with low incomes complete training that leads to careers while helping address the skilled worker shortage. Supportive services can also advance racial equity by providing more financial resources to workers of color who, due to systemic racism, have higher rates of poverty and lower average earnings. In particular this dearth of financial resources leaves today's community college students – who are more likely to be Black and Latinx – with higher rates of food and housing insecurity.
National Skills Coalition believes that supports like food, transportation, childcare, and cash assistance are essential to student completion, closing racial gaps in credential attainment, reaching state attainment goals and closing the skills gap. National Skills Coalition has issued numerous resources identifying key policies that states can adopt to strengthen access to nontuition supports, including our Broadening the Apprenticeship Pipeline brief highlighting the importance of childcare, Building Skills through SNAP Employment and Training: Lessons Learned in Four States, and the Arkansas Career Pathways Initiative: How TANF can support skills for low-income parents, and how policymakers can help.
II. What is the Supportive Services Academy?
NSC's Supportive Service Academy will consist of multi-stakeholder teams led by an organization engaged in policy advocacy and comprised of 3-5 members focused on developing and advancing the policy proposals below. The Academy will include ongoing support from NSC, opportunities to learn from subject matter experts and practitioner experts from our coalition, as well as peer learning among Academy teams.
NSC's Supportive Services Academy will focus on helping state teams advance policies that expand access to education and training supportive services in the following areas:
[x] State policy agendas for increasing access to childcare for people participating in education, training, and/or work-based learning. These state policy agendas could expand access to childcare assistance, which can help cover the costs of childcare for parents and caregivers. Childcare assistance can be funded in several ways, including through the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG), SNAP Employment and Training Programs (SNAP E&T) and TANF.
[x] Career pathways programs that include career navigation and supports for childcare and transportation, financed with state higher education funding, TANF and/or SNAP E&T funding. Career pathways use career coaches who connect people with the right training and supportive services, expedite training, and provide in-demand "stackable" credentials. TANF and SNAP E&T funds can be used to provide wraparound supportive services for adults so that they can complete their college credentials within in-demand fields.
[x] State-established support funds to provide supportive services such as coaching, service coordination, childcare, transportation, and other assistance to people with low incomes as they prepare for and succeed in work-based learning. Work-based learning support funds assist adults as they transition into employer-sponsored apprenticeship and workbased learning opportunities. They also help to diversify pipelines to work-based learning opportunities by providing critical support.
[x] Policies that expand access to SNAP for students participating in postsecondary education. Federal SNAP rules explicitly exclude any students enrolled in college at least half time. However, there exceptions to this rule and levers states can pull to expand access to SNAP, including deeming career-oriented postsecondary programs as equivalent to employment and training programs and disregarding state-funded financial aid as income when determining SNAP eligibility.
[x] Establishment and/or expansion of skills-focused SNAP E&T and/or TANF programs. Both SNAP E&T and TANF can provide education and training to recipients of SNAP food assistance and TANF cash assistance respectively. "Skills-based" SNAP E&T and
TANF programs utilize partnerships with community colleges, community-based organizations, employers and others so that participants can earn postsecondary credentials with value in the labor market.
[x] Any other policy area that helps students and workers to address the non-tuition costs of training so that they can secure in-demand skills and postsecondary credentials. Academy teams have the flexibility to develop and promote specific policy proposals that expand access to supportive services and work in the unique context of their individual state.
Supportive Services Academy teams will be required to apply a racial equity lens to their work advancing policies in these areas. Applying this lens can include activities such as utilizing a Racial Equity Impact Assessment for proposals, engaging stakeholders from different racial and ethnic groups and organizations serving communities of color, as well as structuring policy proposals to maximize racially equitable impacts.
III. What Will the Academy Involve?
Financial grants for participation. NSC will provide financial grants of $10,000 per state to organizations acting as team leads. These grants will support organizations' participation in the academy as well as any expenses involved in hosting in-state meetings. Grant monies can be used to educate policymakers on the chosen issues (e.g., developing/designing briefs or collateral, hosting in-state meetings), but not to intervene in any election or support or oppose any political party or candidate for public office or engage in any lobbying.
Developing and implementing a plan for advancing a supportive service policy. Over the course of the Academy, each state team will develop a supportive services policy proposal for their state, based on the general policy areas listed above in Section II, and will implement a strategy for advancing their policy proposal with state policymakers or agencies. "Policies" can include state legislation, an executive order, a budget item, or a policy requirement or guidance adopted by a state agency.
Direct assistance with development of policy proposal and advancement strategy. NSC staff will provide regular support to state teams to help them develop a specific policy proposal and identify action steps for getting it adopted. NSC will provide assistance to state teams in crafting, messaging, and advancing their policy asks, along with resources that analyze and highlight innovation happening at the state level that can inform other states (e.g., existing fact sheets, reports, and articles). NSC will also connect academy teams to leaders from the field and subject-matter experts in specific supportive services policies as needed. NSC staff will be available on a monthly basis for check-in calls or pre-scheduled in-person meetings. (See anticipated meeting schedule below.)
If Academy teams are successful in getting state human services, workforce, and higher education agencies to adopt their policy proposals, NSC will offer additional technical
assistance on implementation (e.g., identifying funding transfer policies, necessary memorandums of understanding, etc.).
Meetings and Opportunities for Cross-State Learning. NSC will provide at least three opportunities for in-person cross-state presentations and learning. (Please see tentative schedule below.) All team members are expected to attend. For in-person meetings, NSC will cover the cost of attendance for team leads and up to four additional team members. At these meetings participants will learn about fellow academy members' areas of focus, build relationships, identify shared challenges, and share lessons learned from successful efforts to expand access to supportive services programs, including effective messaging and tactics. States could also learn from subject matter experts and leaders in the field about effective supportive services policies employed by states outside of the Academy.
While exact dates for all meetings are yet to be selected, the Academy and anticipated meeting schedule is as follows:
* November 1, 2019: Applications Due
* December 2019: Academy participants announced
* March 2020: In-person kick-off meeting
*
June 2020: In-person meeting
* October 2020: In-person closing meeting as part of NSC's Skills in the States Forum
* December 2020: Final report-out on projects
Only technical assistance for Academy teams successful in getting state human services, workforce, or higher education agencies to adopt their policy proposals will extend through the first quarter of 2021.
IV. Who Should Apply?
Academy team leads should be organizations with the capacity, expertise, and willingness to analyze state policy landscape and work with agency leaders and elected officials to impact policy change. Team leads should build teams that consist of at least three to five people from different organizations statewide. Team members cannot be from the same organization. Teams can include representatives from community-based organizations, policy research and advocacy organizations, community and technical colleges, state and local government agencies, workforce intermediaries, labor organizations, business representatives, chambers of commerce, other organizations working on behalf of students and/or workers of color and other organizations serving or advocating on the behalf of low-income communities. Please note that because of the Academy's focus on the advancement of state policy, practitioners serving on teams should be prepared to advocate for a particular policy position.
Priority in team selection will be given to SkillSPAN partners. NSC will select states to attain geographic and political diversity as well.
Teams should meet the following criteria:
* A lead team member/organization engaged in policy advocacy with the capacity to be the point of contact with NSC and organize team meetings
* Agreement on which supportive services policy issue the team will work on as part of the Academy. Policy issues must be aligned with NSC's list of policy priorities included in Section II of this announcement.
* Commitment to ensuring that the chosen policy goal will advance access to and completion of postsecondary training and/or credentials for workers of color.
* One or more members with state policy advocacy experience on the chosen supportive service, including knowledge of the state policy landscape for that service
* One or more members with knowledge of their state's workforce development and postsecondary training policy landscape
* One or more members that serves or advocates on the behalf of low-income communities and students and/or workers of color
* All team members should have the ability to commit to attending all in-person or virtual meetings (travel and lodging for in-person meetings to be covered by NSC) and the ability to represent their organization's position on policy issues and in advocacy activities
V. How to Apply
Teams should work together to submit an application no longer than 5 pages in length that includes answers to the following questions:
1. What supportive services policy are you most interested in pursuing in your state and why? Please refer to the list in Section II.
2. How do you plan to ensure that your chosen supportive services policy goal will advance access to and completion of postsecondary training and/or credentials for workers of color?
3. What are the opportunities and challenges you expect to encounter at the state level on this issue?
4. What type of help does your team specifically hope to gain from NSC?
5. How does your team meet the criteria described in Section IV?

PURPOSE OF REPORT
The report provides members with information relating to the publication of revised 5-14 Guidelines.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The education committee is asked to:
(i) note the contents of the report
Members wishing further information on this report should contact:
Michael O'Neill, Director of Education on 01236 812336 or
Dan Sweeney, Head of Quality Development on 01236 812291
Background
1.1 In March 1998, the then Minister for Education announced a review of the National guidelines on Environmental Studies (Science, Social; Subjects, Health Education and Information Technology). The aim of the review was to simplify and clarify the current documents.
1.2 An initial consultation undertaken by the then Scottish CCC between October and December 1998 endorsed the proposals that the national guidelines for Science, Social Subjects and Technology should be revised and simplified and that the guidance on Information Technology and Health Education be relocated within the overall 5-14 framework.
1.3 In May 1999, the Scottish CCC was commissioned to undertake a consultation about possible amendments to the guidelines on structure and balance of the 5-15 curriculum. In particular, a review of the recommended time allocations as set out in the document Structure and Balance of the Curriculum was to be undertaken in relation to the changes proposed in response to the 1998 consultation.
1.4 Simultaneously, a review of the 5-14 Guidelines on Modern Languages was undertaken to take account of the Modern Languages in the Primary School initiative and amended Standard Grade arrangements.
Development
2.1 The Scottish Executive Education Department published a Circular 4/2000 in October 2000 to signal to authorities the forthcoming distribution of the revised 5-14 guidelines on Environmental Studies, Health ICT, Structure and Balance and Modern Languages.
2.2 The revised guidelines were commended as a useful model for delivery of these areas of the curriculum.
2.3 Where schools had satisfactory programmes in place, it was not expected that any changes would be required as a result of these guidelines.
2.4 Education authorities were asked to handle distribution locally.
Current Position
3.1 The revised 5-14 guidelines for Structure and Balance of the Curriculum, Environmental Studies, Science, Social Subjects, Technology, Health Education and Information Communication Technology have been distributed to schools.
3.2 The documents consisted of a set of guidelines for each area and a guide for teachers and managers. Every primary teacher received a copy of all documents. Subject specialists in secondary schools received a copy of relevant documents and additional copies were supplied to Senior Management teams in secondary
3.3 The revised documents for Modern Languages await the consideration by Ministers of the report of the Action Group on Modern Languages.
3.4 North Lanarkshire Council was the first authority nationally to recognise the need to review the entire 5-14 programme and address the issue of time allocations to support raising achievement in literacy and numeracy and support development in Environmental Studies.
3.5 In October 1997, the Education Committee approved a paper from the director which provided schools with advice and support to implement Environmental Studies 5-14 with a reduced time weighting for primaries 1-6 and a series of resources to ensure skill development, curriculum content coverage and adherence to the national guidelines framework.
3.6 The revised guidelines on Structure and Balance recognises the proactive stance taken by North Lanarkshire by offering locally negotiated time allocations which will endorse the core development of literacy and numeracy in the early years.
3.7 The targeted development of Environmental Studies support material will continue to empower schools to address the content and skill development of North Lanarkshire pupils.
Recommendations
4.1 The education committee is asked to:
(i) note the contents of the report

Antonio De Lauri (editor), Humanitarianism. Keywords, Leiden: Brill, 2020, ISBN 978-90-04-43113-3
Review by Ioana ALBU
The field of humanitarianism is characterized by 'profound uncertainty, by a constant need to respond to the unpredictable, and by concepts and practices that often defy simple or straightforward explanation'(Allen, T.). Humanitarians often find themselves not just engaged in the pursuit of effective action, but also in a quest for meaning. The humanitarian sector has changed in its size, scale, and focus but also in its imagery, its jargon, and its jobs, from its initial goal, that of alleviating human suffering. Emerging forms of humanitarianism such as mutual aid and the work of diaspora communities or any other aspect of humanitarianism is currently open to question as never before, being at the core of contemporary humanitarian debates
Antonio De Lauri's Humanitarianism. Keywords [Dictionary] provides the reader with a thorough insight into the origins and development of humanitarianism in an original way, in the form of a dictionary, offering a genuine way of exploring and understanding "one of the major political and moral phenomena of the contemporary world." It is aimed at observing contemporary humanitarianism while offering potential future explorations. The genuine piece of work consists in 107 entries thoroughly selected, standing as a very useful, reference guide for those interested in the field. Contributors are all leading scholars spanning continents and having expertise in varied related areas from political science and international relations, to law and philosophy, to mention but a few), the contributions of whom to the Keywords being both concise and at the same time detailed enough in order to provide an overview of the concepts of humanitarianism, be them critical, or controversial. According to De Lauri, humanitarianism "is manifested in a plurality of actions, movements and ethics, different in their form of implementation and

expression, while being coherent in their idealistic intentions". The author is of opinion that humanitarianism is a way of intervention in the world the purpose of which is to improve it, being all the same a consistent feature of modernity. The author is of opinion that in spite of the vast literature on humanitarianism, what is missing is particularly this 'toolkit' –as the author names it - that both students and researchers could avail themselves of in order to pinpoint the complex world of humanitarianism. What is to be remarked indeed is that this highly successful endeavour aimed at exploring and encompassing the multifaceted 'conceptual universe of humanitarianism' as the author names it as being a 'modality of intervention in the world' the purpose of which is to better it. Another important feature of the present approach is that it spans the history of humanitarianism and its continuing transformation.
The relevance of humanitarianism in the present time is highlighted by its use and usefulness in international politics or within the academia. The author does mention the fact that the list of words contained within the dictionary is erratic, there being words included that might appear as not belonging necessarily to the field, while others being considered as not having been included. The contributors to the dictionary have approached humanitarianism from various perspectives and points of view, which shows the wide range of knowledge in the field and this in turn reflects the elusive character of the term itself, as the author considers it, while having an impact upon aspects in all walks of life. Yet, despite the variety of approach, the interdependence of keywords is to be noted, providing the conceptual framework that offers various paths to explore, from medical humanitarianism, for instance, to human rights, with a host of terms associated to each one.
As previously stated by the author in the description of Keywords, the reader will find that some dictionary entries refer more to the academic field, while others are more policy-oriented. Those who would focus more on its pragmatic value or explore the professional side of humanitarianism will also find plenty of terms that are at the "crossroads" of disciplines. The comparison that de Lauri makes, that of considering the dictionary like a "road junction" with multiple directions to serve as a very useful tool for each and every interested reader, be it for consolidating knowledge, or acquiring new dimensions and understanding of the field.
Last but not least, it is relevant to be mentioned that the English language vocabulary has been employed as a factor that contributed to the entire project, despite the varied background, expertise, disciplines of study and working language
Ioana ALBU

of the contributors throughout the globe, be them from Africa or Latin America, or Afghanistan and Sierra Leone, or Lebanon or Groningen, to mention but a few, while it is ascertained that common parlance or colloquial speech of humanitarian vocabulary would greatly add value to the specialty literature.
As with any of genuine pieces work of this scope, from an initial selection of approximately 60 entries in the beginning, additions were made, the list was enlarged, while concepts were merged and others rethought, as De Lauri explains. Conceptual limits, external links and challenges alike were not left aside either, which illustrates the fact that all possible aspects were taken into account for the final product to be an interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral illustration of the importance of humanitarianism today offering various paths to explore all this in a single book.
It really is challenging for the reader to find this very interesting approach of humanitarianism reflected in all terms, searching for a word such as for instance "water" (p.233 Keywords) "resilience" (p.178 Keywords) or "photography" (p.158 Keywords) and finding its correspondence with humanitarianism, humanitarian action, activities and politics, being at the same time a challenge for the reader and speaker of a foreign language, to acquire new vocabulary both in the field of the foreign language itself and in the 'language' of humanitarianism. For - perhaps – the less acquainted reader, vernacular humanitarianism is a term that deserves particular attention, being a 'bridging concept and an emerging modality or local statecraft' (A. Thiermann). The same could be considered with regards to the term "grassroots humanitarianism", which is rather a dynamic conceptualization which is relatively new and not fixed, thus an 'unstable, overarching category'(Fetcher & Schwittay, 2019).
To conclude, one would say that rethinking humanitarianism has become an urgent priority. As Ryerson, C. notes, critical engagement with humanitarianism has grown, given the 'expansion of humanitarianism since the '90s and its role in mandating and justifying the use of force'(Ryerson Christie, 2015). Criticism, however, has been directed to a great extent at the measures taken in the name of humanitarianism and less on its conceptual frame, since the role of states and security agents are at the forefront of international concerns. The critical interrogation of the purpose, practice and future of humanitarian action has yielded a rich new field of enquiry, humanitarian studies, and many books, articles and reports.

Marketplace Special Enrollment Period for Medicaid Continuous Enrollment Condition Unwinding
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
Marketplace Special Enrollment Period (SEP)
» The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced a Marketplace Special Enrollment Period (SEP) on HealthCare.gov for qualified individuals and their families who are losing Medicaid coverage due to the end of the "continuous enrollment condition," a process known as "unwinding."
» A set of FAQs describing flexibilities for consumers and Marketplaces regarding the Medicaid Continuous Enrollment Condition Unwinding SEP for plan years 2023 and 2024 can be found here: https://www.cms.gov/technical-assistanceresources/temp-sep-unwinding-faq.pdf
What is the Unwinding Period?
» To keep people in coverage during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), under what is known as the "continuous enrollment condition," the Federal Government offered additional funding to states that paused terminations for Medicaid coverage beginning in March 2020.
» When the continuous enrollment condition ends, states will be required to resume regular eligibility and enrollment operations, including renewals and coverage terminations. This process is referred to as "unwinding".
o While the continuous enrollment condition does not apply to separate Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIPs) or the Basic Health Program (BHP), CMS recognizes some states elected to apply the condition to their separate CHIP program or BHP. In those circumstances, subject to exceptions noted and other federal requirements, guidance related to unwinding from the Medicaid continuous enrollment condition also applies to CHIP and BHP.
What is the Unwinding Period? (cont.)
» A recent law provides a date for unwinding to begin. The continuous enrollment condition will end on March 31, 2023, with states able to begin to terminate Medicaid enrollment for individuals no longer eligible for Medicaid as early as April 1, 2023.
o
States will have up to 12 months (i.e., March 31, 2024) to initiate renewals for all individuals enrolled as of the last day of the continuous enrollment condition.
o
o Renewals may begin as early as February 1, with the first terminations effective as of April 1.
States will have up to 14 months (i.e., May 31, 2024) to complete an eligibility renewal for all individuals in their programs.
o Consumers who receive advance notice that their Medicaid is ending on March 31 may start enrolling immediately in other coverage, such as on the Marketplace, to ensure continuity of coverage.
» State-based Marketplaces (SBMs) that operate their own eligibility and enrollment platforms have the option to offer this SEP.
» Due to the unprecedented nature of unwinding, during which consumers may need additional time to transition to Marketplace coverage, HealthCare.gov will offer a temporary Special Enrollment Period (SEP).
o Consumers can find information about their respective State Marketplace by visiting https://www.healthcare.gov/marketplace-in-your-state/.
Unwinding SEP
» Consumers who lose Medicaid or CHIP coverage between March 31, 2023, and July 31, 2024, will be eligible for a 60-day SEP beginning the day they submit or update a Marketplace application. Consumers will receive the Unwinding SEP automatically based on their answers to application questions.
» For consumers who attest to a future loss of Medicaid or CHIP coverage, Marketplace coverage will start the first day of the month after their last day of Medicaid coverage.
» For consumers who attest to a loss of Medicaid or CHIP coverage in the past, Marketplace coverage will start the first of the month following plan selection. For example, if a consumer selects a plan on August 25, coverage will start September 1.
| Medicaid/CHIP Coverage End Date | Date of Marketplace Plan Selection | Marketplace Plan Effective Date |
|---|---|---|
| July 31, 2023 | July 25, 2023 (before Medicaid coverage ends) | August 1, 2023 |
| July 31, 2023 | August 5, 2023 (after Medicaid coverage ends) | September 1, 2023 |

SEP Actions for Consumers and CMS
» To ensure continuity of coverage, consumers should complete a Marketplace application as soon as they receive a determination of ineligibility from their state Medicaid agency.
1. Submit a new application or update an existing application between March 31, 2023, and July 31, 2024, and answer "yes" to the application question asking if their Medicaid or CHIP coverage recently ended or will soon end, and
» To receive the SEP, consumers must:
2. Attest to a Medicaid or CHIP coverage loss between March 31, 2023, and July 31, 2024. Consumers will then have 60 days to select a new plan for Marketplace coverage.
o Notify partners and stakeholders who regularly interact with or on behalf of potentially qualified consumers;
» To help consumers learn about their opportunity to enroll in health coverage through this Unwinding SEP, CMS will:
o Provide technical assistance and training to enrollment assisters, such as agents, brokers, and Navigators;
o Advertise directly to consumers using tactics such as social media, email, search, and digital video.
o Provide information to news media; and
Application Questions
How should a consumer answer the Medicaid or CHIP coverage questions on the Marketplace application?
o Applicants should answer "Yes" if their Medicaid or CHIP coverage is ending due to unwinding or due to any other reason.
» The application will first ask applicants if they had Medicaid or CHIP coverage that recently ended or will soon end:
o Consumers who did not already have Medicaid or CHIP and were denied upon application should respond "no" to this question.
o Consumers should input their last date of Medicaid or CHIP coverage as listed in their termination letter from their state agency.
» If anyone answers "Yes," they will be asked to input the last day of coverage:
o Consumers unsure of their last day of coverage should provide their best estimate.
Application Questions (2/3)
If an applicant has lost Medicaid or CHIP coverage, the application will ask if the applicant's household income or size has changed since they received their coverage termination notice.
» The application uses this information to evaluate whether the applicant should be sent back to the state Medicaid agency for a redetermination of Medicaid or CHIP eligibility, or if the applicant should instead only be evaluated for Marketplace coverage eligibility, including advance payments of the premium tax credit (APTC).
Application Questions (3/3)
For consumers who answered "no" to having Medicaid or CHIP coverage that recently ended or will end soon, the application will ask if they recently applied for and were denied Medicaid or CHIP coverage.
» Consumers who were told in the preceding 90 days by the state that they don't qualify for Medicaid or CHIP coverage should answer "yes" to this question.
Complex Consumer Scenarios
» Consumers who qualify for the Unwinding SEP as well as an additional SEP will be given the coverage effective date associated with the Unwinding SEP, unless the other SEP has a retroactive effective date.
» If a consumer does not want their coverage to start on the date of their triggering event, such as a date of birth or adoption date, they can contact the Marketplace Call Center.
» Consumers who are unsure of whether their Medicaid or CHIP was terminated should contact their state agency as soon as possible.
o Consumers can access their state agency's contact information at this link: https://www.medicaid.gov/resources-for-states/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/unwindingand-returning-regular-operations-after-covid-19/renew-your-medicaid-or-chipcoverage/index.html
» Consumers in states with SBMs should check with their SBM to find out if they're offering this Unwinding SEP.
o CMS provides information for consumers regarding SBMs at this link: https://www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Resources/Fact-Sheets-and-FAQs/state-marketplaces
Redeterminations
» As a reminder, millions of consumers may soon be eligible for Marketplace coverage, and you should be ready to assist them! Many consumers who lose Medicaid coverage will be directed to apply for coverage through the Marketplace. Redeterminations can begin as early as February 1 with the first terminations effective April 1. People who receive advance notice of an April 1 termination may start enrolling in Marketplace coverage immediately to ensure continuity of coverage.
» Additionally, many Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries may have moved or changed addresses since last receiving communications from their state Medicaid or CHIP agency. As a result, they may not receive termination notices from their Medicaid or CHIP agency timely or at all. CMS anticipates that many former Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries would qualify for the SEP available for individuals who did not receive timely notice of triggering events.

A DEVICE that can pick up on people's emotions is being developed to help people with autism relate to those around them. It will alert its autistic user if the person they are talking to starts showing signs of getting bored or annoyed.
One of the problems facing people with autism is an inability to pick up on social cues. Failure to notice that they are boring or confusing their listeners can be particularly damaging, says Rana El Kaliouby of the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "It's sad because people then avoid having conversations with them."
The "emotional social intelligence prosthetic" device, which El Kaliouby is constructing along with MIT colleagues Rosalind Picard and Alea Teeters, consists of a camera small enough to be pinned to the side of a pair of glasses, connected to a hand-held computer running image recognition software plus software that can read the emotions these images show. If the wearer seems to be failing to engage his or her listener, the software makes the hand-held computer vibrate.
"If the wearer seems to be failing to engage the person listening, the computer vibrates"
In 2004 El Kaliouby demonstrated that her software, developed with Peter Robinson at the University of Cambridge, could detect whether someone is agreeing, disagreeing, concentrating, thinking, unsure or interested, just from a few seconds of video footage. Previous computer programs have only detected the six more basic emotional states of happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise and disgust. El Kaliouby's complex states are more useful because they come up more frequently in conversation, but are also harder to detect, because they are conveyed in a sequence of movements rather than a single expression.
Her program is based on a machine-learning algorithm that she trained by showing it more than 100 8-second video clips of actors expressing particular emotions. The software picks out movements of the eyebrows, lips and nose, and tracks head movements such as tilting, nodding and shaking, which it then associates with the emotion the actor was showing. When presented with fresh video clips, the software gets people's emotions right 90 per cent of the time when the clips are of actors, and 64 per cent of the time on footage of ordinary people.
El Kaliouby is now training the software on excerpts from movies and footage captured by webcams. This week she plans to gather the first on-the-move training footage by equipping a group of volunteers, some of whom are autistic, with wearable cameras.
Getting the software to work is only the first step, Picard warns. In its existing form it makes heavy demands on computing power, so it may need to be pared down to work on a standard http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19025456.500 (2 of 4)6/15/2007 8:06:19 AM

hand-held computer. Other challenges include finding a high-resolution digital camera that can be worn comfortably, and training people with autism to look at the faces of those they are conversing with so that the camera picks up their expressions.
The team will present the device next week at the Body Sensor Network conference at MIT. People with autism are not the only ones who stand to benefit. Timothy Bickmore of Northeastern University in Boston, who studies ways in which computers can be made to engage with people's emotions, says the device would be a great teaching aid. "I would love it if you could have a computer looking at each student in the room to tell me when 20 per cent of them were bored or confused."

A sermon delivered by the Rev. Timothy C. Ahrens, senior minister at the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, Columbus, Ohio, and Reign of Christ Sunday and Thanksgiving Sunday, November 20, 2011, dedicated to Ruth Ann Sitler, who entered eternal life on November 18, 2011, to her grieving family, and always to the glory of God!
"Matthew 25 Christians" Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24; Matthew 25:31-46
Today, we come to the close of this church year. We leave the primary texts of Matthew's gospel after 52 weeks of living within the vision and the glory of St. Matthew's texts. With Advent's arrival next Sunday, we move into the pithy, simple and direct stories of St. Mark. For the last few weeks we have been building one parable at a time to this parable of final judgment. This parable separates and clarifies. It distinguishes who will burn in eternal punishment and who will go to heaven. Listen and learn. (Read Matthew 25:31-46)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let us pray: May the words of my mouth and the meditations of each one of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord our rock and our salvation. Amen.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For two weeks our poor little church on the corner of Storer Avenue and West 41 st on the west side of Cleveland had held its Vacation Bible School every weekday from 9 a.m. to noon. Over 100 children had come from everywhere to participate each morning. We had been raising money for "Goats for Guatemala" as our mission for Heifer Project International.
Six-year-old, Gloria Swaitek was one of our children. Gloria never missed a day. She was our number #1 mission partner for Guatemalan goats, collecting money from all her extended family and all her neighbors for weeks. She had gone door to door several times. She had sold lemonade. She had asked her grandparents for money so many times, the piggy bank in their bedroom was down to its last few coins.
Gloria had latched on to something that the rest of us did not know. She knew that if she won the top prize of collecting the most money for Heifer Project International, she would come home with a real goat. Somehow Gloria heard me say we were raising funds for "goats for Gloria." All we needed was $100. In the end, Gloria had raised $118.24 in small coins and single dollars all by herself.
At the final program on Friday night of the second week, Gloria was the first person in the sanctuary (along with her mom and dad). Her mother pulled me aside, "Rev. Tim, Gloria thinks you are giving her a goat tonight." "What?" I responded. Mom continued whispering, "She thinks this is a "goat for Gloria" program. I didn't realize it, but this afternoon, she was making a place in the backyard for our new goat. Then she told me that Rev. Tim was buying her a goat. She has invited our entire family to come. What can we do?" I smiled at Gloria a few feet away and I waved nervously at the leader of my herd (not even 40" tall).
I thought quickly. I would give her the goat cut-out as our prize for being #1 (after all Gloria had more than doubling the rest of the VBSers put together. Because of Gloria we had two goats for Guatemala!). She was awarded the goat cut-out. It took some explaining after the celebration, but she could live with the large goat doll being promised. That is, if I could find a goat. You see, goat dolls are not popular. Goats have a bad reputation. I think it comes directly from the parable found in Matthew 25:31-46. Eventually, I gave a sheep to Gloria. She didn't even bleat. She simply took him in her arms and smiled.
Jesus tells us that goats don't make good disciples.
They don't see well. They don't follow well. They don't act right. They end up in eternal punishment. Their lousy reputation (beyond Guatemalan goats) has marked their story ever since this parable was published. No one wants to be a goat. But on any given day, according to the criterion laid out in the parable, you and I end up on the "goat team,'' even though we don't want to be there.
We want to be on the "sheep team!" The sheep acted on behalf of the Son of Adam. They fed him when he was hungry, gave him drink in his thirst, gave him shelter when he was refugee in their community, clothed him when he was naked, looked in on him when he was sick, and visited him when he was in prison. The other group (the goats) did not act because he was an invisible man to them. Moreover, they simply didn't do well for others. They didn't see any point to it!
While the groups differed, they all shared something very much in common in our story. Neither group sees Son of Adam. Although their behavior is different, their perceptions are the same. Self-admittedly, neither group sees the face of Jesus everywhere. So, if we want to launch into a glorious crusade proclaiming that the good guys see "Jesus in every one" and act and the bad guys don't see Jesus and therefore, don't act, we can't do that.
The real difference between sheep and goats - between Matthew 25 Christians and those who can't claim that prize is that the sheep see the face of the poor and the goats do not. In fact, looking for the face of Jesus (according to our text) may be a waste of time. Instead, looking into the eyes of the poor and seeing them and acting on their behalf is all we need to do in order that our spiritual energy points toward eternity. Ironically, by looking into the eyes and the faces of the poor, we will see the eyes and the face of Jesus.
This issue of compassion and care for the poor is huge. It is not a side issue at all. Liberation theologians refer to this as "Jesus' preferential option for the poor." Some consider liberation themes controversial. For the life of me, I can't figure out why. All four gospels state very clearly, in many different ways, that Christ is a friend of the poor, identifies with them, and is found with them. It is not for nothing that Jesus was born to a poverty-stricken Jewish family from a hick little town. He dies on a cross between two poor men. He is raised from the grave and appears to women (at the bottom of the economic ladder) and the poor fishermen who are his closest friends and followers (not a rich crowd either).
In Matthew 5, Jesus opened the Sermon on the Mount by pronouncing blessing on the despised and bereft and 20 chapters later, he closes by announcing his presence in them. On this Reign of Christ Sunday, all who are worried about when Jesus will come again need only absorb this passage. The answer is that Jesus never left. He has been here all along, and is present now in the little, the least, the lonely, and the lost. This parable is the climax of Jesus' teaching ministry in Matthew's gospel. It is the final piece of the puzzle.
Let us be clear about something. Even though both groups in this ritualized story of separation do not see Jesus, their behavior is what separates them. The sheep did not see the Son of Adam, but they did see hungry, thirsty, naked, imprisoned and forsaken refugees. They fed them because they were hungry, not because they were deserving. They clothed them because they were naked, not because they were unjustly deprived on their dignity. They visited the sick because they were sick and called on people in prison, fully aware that many had earned their way to prison and needed to be confined for the safety of those outside the walls, but also knowing they were human beings at (perhaps) the lowest place in the kingdom of this world.
I don't know who among us wants to play the roll of deciding who is a sheep and who is a goat; who will go to eternal punishment and who will go to eternal life. As I said earlier, on any given day, in any number of circumstances, any one of us may turn a blind eye to hunger, thirst, sickness and poverty in all its ugliness. But, who wants to play God? In the end, who among us is ready and able to sort out sheep and goats in the human family?
In our attempt to avoid the roll of "separating the nations," as Jesus says, we would do well to live fully into this parable of judgment. Our actions will speak louder than any of our words - when all is said and done. As the percentage of poor continues to rise across the globe and the wealth of a few also rises, we would do well to open our eyes, look around us, see our brothers and sisters in need and then act out of a deep felt sense of justice and mercy as the parable calls us to do.
If we want to experience eternal life now, "heaven on earth" now, if we want to experience a vision of a God's kingdom coming now, where we all feed each other, take care of each other and love each other, we need to open our eyes and act. We need to love one another - in the end, it is the act of love that ultimately separates the sheep and goats.
I have been thinking about this in the context of child abuse scandals swirling around State College, Pa., and Syracuse, and earlier around the Catholic Church and other institutions. When did we see the children sinking into sadness and sickness? When did we see them lost and lonely? When did we see them acting out or acting up - and reached out to them in their pain? When we saw them and acted compassionately and justly, when we did it to least of them, we did it unto Christ.
When we see children dropping into poverty like leaves from a tree? When did we see them in the pipeline from poverty to prison? When saw them and acted compassionately, we did it unto Christ.
Or when did we see and hear "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrators across the country raising questions about a system in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and when did we respond with compassion to these legitimate struggles of our times? When we heard, when we saw, when we acted, we did it unto Christ.
Or when did we see "wounded warriors" returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and reach out to them in love? When did we reach out to them in love and welcome them home? With less than 1% of Americans engaged in this war, we may not see our women and men who have served abroad. But we are called to open our eyes, to act with love. When we do it to the least of these our brothers and sisters home from the combat zones, we do it unto Christ.
Remember this: Any time you are serving someone who is in need, is lonely or is separated from others, you are ultimately serving Jesus and leading a full life. Matthew 25 offers concrete ways to interact with our human family and thus to interact with Jesus. Here we have concrete examples of how to put the love of God into empty places in the world.
We can make choices to be sheep and not goats. It comes down to every minute of every day. It comes down to seeing and acting. Often it comes down to random acts of kindness and love. When we see the children, our brothers and sisters in need, we see Jesus. When we see Jesus, we join the sheep team. In the spirit of Gloria, I pray on this Reign of Christ Sunday, we will more and more become Matthew 25 Christians. Amen.

Unintended Side Effects of Unconventional Monetary
Policy ∗

December 2021
Abstract
Using granular supervisory data from Germany, we investigate the impact of unconventional monetary policies via central banks' purchase of corporate bonds. While this policy results in a loosening of credit market conditions as intended by policy makers, we document two unintended side effects. First, banks that are more exposed to borrowers benefiting from the bond purchases now lend more to high-risk firms with no access to bond markets. Since more loan write-offs arise from these firms and banks are not compensated for this risk by higher interest rates, we document a drop in bank profitability. Second, the policy impacts the allocation of loans among industries. Affected banks reallocate loans from investment grade firms active on bond markets to mainly real estate firms without investment grade rating. Overall, our findings suggest that central banks' quantitative easing via the corporate bond markets has the potential to contribute to both banking sector instability and real estate bubbles.

Economics of co-firing rice straw with coal in old and new coal power plants in Vietnam
AN HA TRUONG & MINH HA-DUONG
VIETNAM INITIATIVE FOR ENERGY TRANSITION (VIET)
11 th Vietnam Economist Annual Meeting – VEAM 2019 17-18 June 2019, Da Lat, Vietnam
Economic drivers
Social drivers
Environmental drivers
Fuel cost saving Valorize agricultural wastes
Create jobs in rural area Reduce trade deficit
Reduce air pollutant emissions
Renewable Portfolio Standards
GHG emission mitigation
Climate change commitment
Why consider biomass energy?
Co-firing offset part of coal used in power plants by biomass
Financial model of the sector
Source code available at https://github.com/AnHaTruong/ Costs-and-Benefits-Cofiring-VN
Three aspects evaluated
Social aspect
Environmental aspect
Economic aspect
Local job creation National trade balance
GHG emissions Air pollutant emissions and health impact
* Willingness to Accept (WTA) of farmer
* Willingness to Pay (WTP) of plant
Two case studies
New plant (2015)
Typical size (1080 MW)
Old plant (1976)
Small size (100 MW)
Co-firing options:
Direct co-firing with blended fuel
5% co-firing rate (heat basis)
Co-firing create job mostly through supply chain
Co-firing improves trade balance by curbing coal import
Coal saved by co-firing
[x] In Mong Duong 1: 136 kt/y ~ 15 MUSD/y at coal imported price of 112 USD/t (Vietnam Customs 2019)
[x] In Ninh Binh: 22 kt/y ~ 2.5 MUSD/y
In 2018 Vietnam imported 23 Mt of coal and paid 2.5 billion $ (Vietnam Customs 2019)
Co-firing reduces air pollutant and GHG emissions
Environmental benefits: particulate matter first, Greenhouse gas emission last
External costs of air pollutants are from Sakulniyomporn, Kubaha, and Chullabodhi (2011)
10
There is a narrow range of straw price that allow all 3 groups to benefit from co-firing in Mong Duong 1 case
11
There is a wide range of straw price that allow all 3 groups to benefit from co-firing in Ninh Binh case
12
Example of costsbenefits of co-firing
Largest benefit is the external benefits of local air quality improvement
Different price structures give benefit to different actor
13
Conclusions
The WTA + transportation cost < WTP in both cases.
The externality of co-firing straw on local air quality improvement is significant enough to justify the technology regardless the external benefit of greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
Co-firing rice straw is more an agricultural than an energy or environmental policy.
It's time to implement the Renewable Portfolio Standards!
