The General Manager Hornsby Shire Council
Dear Sir,
DA/623/2018 ‐ 587 Pennant Hills Road, WEST PENNANT HILLS NSW 2125 ‐ RESIDENTIAL ‐ ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS – HERITAGE
The Trust requests that Council accepts this late submission.
The original development application DA1485/2015, refers to the adaptive reuse of the heritage item. The Trust understands the intention has always been to sell the heritage item as part of one of the units in the development. DA623/2018 proposes to rebuild the demolished heritage item, still with the intention of selling the completed building.
The Trust believes the builder or owner should not obtain any financial benefit from the demolition of the heritage item. In fact the Trust does not support the sale of the heritage item as part of one of the units.
The Trust believes that if the demolished heritage item is rebuilt, then it must remain as part of the common property to be used as a community facility. If it is not rebuilt then the remains of the heritage item should be incorporated into an interpretative landscaped garden, again as part of the common property.
The Trust also requests that interpretative signage is placed on the approved structure and, ideally, accessible by the general public.
Yours sincerely
Ross Walker President Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust 10 December

HERO Home New Construction Rebate Program
HERO Home New Construction Rebate Program provides a $200 rebate to builders who build energyefficient homes that meet 2012 North Carolina Energy Conservation Code (NCECC) High Efficiency Residential Option (HERO) in our service territory.
A HERO home is 30% more energy efficient than a home built to North Carolina's current code requirements. A HERO home provides improved envelope leakage reduction, duct tightness, window performance, wall insulation & lighting efficiency. This level of efficiency can be met by following either a specific Prescriptive Path or a more flexible Performance Path. The Prescriptive Path is a straightforward list of specific requirements. The Performance Path requires an energy cost analysis provided by a Home Energy Rater Systems (HERS) rater to ensure the home's energy usage is less than or equal to the same home built to the Prescriptive Path.
HERO home details can be found in Appendix 4 of the 2012 NC Energy Conservation Code.
Eligibility
* Rebate available for new residential homes.
* Builder must be licensed in North Carolina.
* Builder must be the member of record for an active account.
* Members who have a HERO home custom built may apply for the rebate instead of the builder.
* Failure to provide required information may result in denial of rebate.
* Rebates are subject to approval and are contingent upon fund availability.
* Lumbee River EMC reserves the right to amend or discontinue this program without notice.
* Rebates are available for homes completed after January 1, 2016.
Rebate Process
* Complete and submit a HERO Home Rebate Application

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) update
Dear Valued Customers,
We want to provide you with an update on how Sea Swift is preparing for COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and the key steps we are taking to minimise any impact to our essential services, and how we are helping to reduce the risk of transmission across our business and the 53 remote coastal and island communities we service each week. Our highest priority remains the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, our customers and the wider communities we serve, and our suppliers and key partners.
Sea Swift continues to receive daily updates from our Occupational Physician, which includes clear guidelines on managing the risk of transmission within our business.
To date, we have:
* established regular internal communications to assess the situation and remain flexible to adjust our plans as required
* implemented self-isolation measures for all employees returning from international leave and the requirement to receive medical clearance before returning to work
* encouraged and supported our employees to stay home should they feel unwell
* elevated the importance of hygiene across the business
* suspended all non-essential business travel
* continued to review our supply chain for critical stocks, spares and consumables
* implemented measures to reduce adverse impacts to frontline employees
* encouraged social distancing at work, and
* discouraged personal travel to medium/high-risk areas.
Over the course of the next few days, we will be implementing:
* where practicable, all customers, suppliers and transport providers to remain in their vehicles when delivering freight to Sea Swift
* temporarily ceasing the requirement to receive a proof of delivery signature (POD), instead our staff signing on behalf of our customer with clear instructions
* external contractors completing a Return to Work Questionnaire prior to commencing work on our sites or vessels.
* practice social distancing when delivering freight to our customers and our remote depot employees
* increased cleaning rotations across all common areas, and
CUSTOMER NOTICE
* a review of all passenger services across the business, aligning this with the desire and requirements of the communities we serve.
At this stage, there has been no impact to our essential services, and we do not foresee any material impact as we work our way through the challenges posed by COVID-19.
Together we have a responsibility to protect each other's welfare, particularly those at a higher risk of infection such as the sick and the elderly, but to also protect the frontline medical staff who are tasked with caring for those in need of assistance.
We will continue to monitor the situation carefully and provide further updates should there be a material change in our approach.

Viral load monitoring for patients (6-12 months) after ART initiation: Kuisebmund health centre ART clinic in Walvis Bay
Authors: A N Ndazapo (International Training and Education Center for Health, anastasia@itech-namibia.org), O Nghiwatiwa (MOHSS), D Emvula (MOHSS), R Maponga ( MOHSS), S Abdurahman (MOHSS ), K Angala ( Project Hope), E Gariseb (MOHSS), L Shikuma (MOHSS), A Namupala (MOHSS), P Iyambo (MOHSS), L K Amukwaya (UNAM), Y Rooi (MOHSS), H Uises (MOHSS), V D Angula (MOHSS), S Elias (MOHSS), A Slinger (MOHSS), L Namholo (MOHSS), R Ndaile (MOHSS), M Tashiya (MOHSS)
Background: The major goals of ART include achieving durable suppression of HIV replication, in order to reduce HIV-related morbidity and mortality and to reduce the risk of HIV transmission and drug resistance. However, this can only be achieved through routine and timely viral load monitoring of patients on ART. At Kuisebmund Health Centre ART clinic, HIVQUAL analysis of routine viral load monitoring showed that it is not being done. The purpose of this project is to improve from the current 0% to 50% and to test the hypothesis that patients who missed their viral load tests are mainly seafarers, truck driver and mine workers.
Methods: This was selected as a quality improvement project for the facility for the period of six months from June to November 2016. The focus is to monitor viral load test completions. We captured patients on ART who had viral load blood tests missed in a designated register and recorded the reason why the blood test was missed, looking at the contributing individual, provider and laboratory factors.
Results: Among 197 patients who missed their viral load from June to September 2016, only 12% were seafarers, 1% were truck drivers and 4% missed due to travelling. The remaining 83 % were members of the general population who missed due to different reasons.
Conclusion: Patients who missed their blood date are not only seafarers or truckers but the general population with different occupations. Providers also contribute significantly by not checking the due date for viral load and indicating it in the patient's passport.
Recommendations: Staff in-service training on the schedule and importance of viral load monitoring, education on the recording of viral load results in the patient care booklet, as well as standard operating procedures on viral load monitoring are needed. ART clinics should display job aids for routine laboratory monitoring by regimen in all screening rooms. Methods by which data clerks identify patients due for viral load, such as stickers on patient care booklets or printing lists for follow-up, should be implemented. Patients should receive education on the importance of viral load

Ruggedness Evaluation of AASHTO TP7 and TP9: Phase 1 Simple Shear Test at Constant Height (TP7)

R. Michael Anderson Asphalt Institute

Conclusions and Recommendations
Purpose of Ruggedness Testing
Engineers believe that results from a test method should not be subject to extreme variability caused by very minor differences in equipment or operator technique. When a test method is still early in its development, ruggedness testing evaluates whether minor variations in test parameters cause major variations in test results. A ruggedness experiment is aimed at evaluating a proposed test procedure so that potential sources of variability can be identified. According to ASTM C1067, "...ruggedness testing has as its purpose the detection and control of sources of testing variation prior to programming an interlaboratory study. One of the most productive uses of a ruggedness or screening evaluation is the elimination of those test methods shown to have poor precision even after making vigorous efforts to reduce the variation." Thus the goal of the experiment is to identify sources of variation in the AASHTO TP7 (Simple Shear at Constant Height) test procedure and to propose necessary changes such that variability is reduced to tolerable levels.
Participating Laboratories
Labs involved in the ruggedness experiment evaluating the Simple Shear Test at Constant Height (SSCH) include those shown in Table 1 below:

Experimental Conditions
A 12.5-mm nominal Superpave coarse mixture (using a PG 64-22 asphalt binder) was selected as the experimental asphalt mixture. ASTM C1067 recommends that seven main experimental factors be evaluated for each procedure. Table 2 provides a description of the seven main factors and their associated levels for the Simple Shear Constant Height test (SSCH).

Of the seven main factors in the SSCH Ruggedness experiment, only temperature stabilization time appears to be important. Three of the five labs (SCSC, UCB, and WRSC) indicated this factor as significant. Of the two labs that did not indicate temperature stabilization time as significant, it is worth noting that AI indicated it as the most significant factor within lab. The poor repeatability between replicate samples may have resulted in AI not indicating the factor as significant. To determine the effects of temperature stabilization time on peak shear strain results, test results from determinations having a low level of this main factor (3,4,7, and 8) were compared to test results from determinations having a high level of this main factor (1,2,5, and 6). Results are indicated in Table 5 and Figure 2.
| | Temperature Stabilization Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Lab | 30 minutes | 60 minutes |
| SCSC | 4,839 | 8,463 |
| AI | 4,358 | 6,170 |
| UCB | 15,772 | 22,477 |
| SESC | 4,469 | 4,359 |
| WRSC | 3,914 | 6,957 |
Table 5 and Figure 1 indicate that peak shear strain from the SSCH test increases significantly from 30 to 60 minutes for four of the five labs. This is an indication that 30 minutes stabilization time may be insufficient to allow the specimen to reacquire temperature after having been subjected to preconditioning and instrumentation.
Conclusions and Recommendations
A change is recommended to the requirement that the system be allowed to stabilize for 25 ± 5 minutes after instrumentation of the specimen, but before initiating the test. It is recommended that Section 13.5 of AASHTO TP7 be changed to:
"13.5 Confirm that the environmental chamber temperature control is activated and on the setting required to maintain the specified test temperature ± 0.5° C. Allow the system to stabilize for 60 ± 5 minutes (Note 14), after locking the environmental chamber in place, prior to initiating the test."
Contents
Note 14: A temperature stabilization time of 60 minutes allows sufficient time for the test specimen to reacquire the appropriate test temperature. The actual time for stabilization may vary depending on the test temperature (higher temperatures require more stabilization time) and proficiency of the operator in instrumenting the specimen quickly to minimize temperature loss. It is recommended that a dummy test specimen is instrumented and placed in the test chamber at the same time as the actual test specimen to measure specimen temperature. Laboratories may use less than 60 minutes for stabilization provided sufficient documentation is available indicating that the temperature of the specimen can recover sooner than 60 minutes. In no case should the temperature stabilization time be less than 20 minutes.
Recommended tolerances on test temperature (± 0.5° C) and loading rate (± 5 kPa/s) appear reasonable based on the analysis of the test data. Glue type (specified in Section 5.1 and Note 2) did not indicate any significant effect on peak shear strain results.
Specimen preparation variables also were generally insignificant. The specimen orientation, whether the test specimen was cut from the top or bottom half of the larger (140 mm height) performance specimen, did not have an effect on the test results. Also, the percentage of air voids within the specimen did not have a significant effect on the test results for the tolerance selected. As such, it appears acceptable to require performance test specimens to have 7.0 ± 0.5 percent air voids. Additional experimentation may indicate that this tolerance should be increased further.
Finally the order in which the tests were conducted did not have an effect on the peak shear strain at 40° C. This was considered a potential problem since most labs conduct the simple shear test and the frequency sweep test on the same test specimen. The analysis indicated that simple shear test results were unaffected by performing the frequency sweep test first. This result was not unexpected since the frequency sweep test is (theoretically) conducted in the linear viscoelastic region (no permanent shear damage).

Scaling the operating deflection shapes obtained from scanning laser doppler vibrometer
Abstract
Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS) has emerged as one of the powerful techniques in vibration analysis to understand and to evaluate the absolute dynamic behaviour of a machine, component or an entire structure. Traditionally, accelerometers have been used to get the ODS of a structure. However, recent development shows that certain situation may not allow direct contact with the structure under investigation. Therefore, Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer (SLDV) has become popular in the investigation. In this paper, a new ODS Frequency Response Function (ODS FRF) for investigations using SLDV is formulated. The ODS FRF is used to construct the ODS of the structure. A new form of scale factor for the ODS FRF is also introduced to normalize the effects from variable excitation force. The importance of this scale factor is demonstrated on a beam and plate under the excitation of varying forces. It is found that the suggested ODS FRF and the scale factor give the desired result in comparison with theory. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media,

Vessels of Honor and Glory
Neil Girrard
It is in the nature of fallen mankind to blunder forth into things too much for our finite natures to bear or grasp or, in the alternative, to refuse to enter in and partake of that which God has so graciously given for us. Perhaps no greater example of this propensity can be found than that of Albert Einstein, the man Time named "Person of the Century" (Dec. 27, 1999), whose theories on light, gravity and relativity laid the groundwork for atomic power and quantum theory and overturned Newton's "laws" of physics – yet he spent the rest of his life in a futile search for a theory that would unify the laws of physics, an idea that eludes the "great thinkers" of this world to this day. What the spiritual man readily and easily (if incompletely and inadequately) comprehends as "God" – transcendent, immortal, alive "in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom belong honor and everlasting power" (1 Tim. 6:16) and in whom all things are held together (Col. 1:17) – Einstein and his descendants seek to capture and encapsulate in a formula, vainly attempting to force even Him to bow down to their independent knowledge of good and evil (see Gen. 3:22) Men persist in groping blindly in the dark rather than humbly turning in faith to the One who gives true enlightenment and boldness to enter into His holiest places by the new and living way He made through the veil that separates men from God, that is, the blood and flesh of Jesus the Messiah. (Heb. 10:19-20, Mt. 27:51) Sad and futile indeed are men's efforts to bypass God.
What is perhaps most often overlooked is that humankind has been created to simply be a vessel. Mankind was always meant to be a dwelling place for God (Jn. 14:23, etc.) but by choosing to step away from God, mankind opened himself to become the dwelling place for other, less benign spiritual entities. Men under the influence of these other beings resent the fact of God's right to stand as the ultimate Judge over all the acts of all men everywhere. They reject His holy and righteous requirements which He has placed upon all men and they concoct whatever philosophies, mythologies or even "theologies" that seem right in their own eyes. (Jdgs. 21:25) Men deceived by these other spiritual beings – whom the Bible names as Satan or the devil and his demonic and fallen angelic cohorts – reject even the notion that man is, at his "bottom line," only a clay pot. This is far too demeaning for those "great thinkers" who pursue "human potential" apart from such "bondages" as bowing down to and serving God. Yet it is precisely here where men allow themselves to be robbed of the divine honor and glory for which God created them.. Men who did not create the universe conduct their lives, postulate their theories and write their books that are in rejection of and opposition to the transcendent wisdom and power of Him who so easily and expertly did bring forth life in His universe.
The human tendency to resist God is indeed nothing new. Paul wrote, "But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, 'Why have you made me like this?' Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?" (Rom. 9:20-24) Paul is not, as some have wrongly concluded, that the vessels here have absolutely no choice whatsoever in whether they will be a vessel of wrath or a vessel of mercy. Indeed, "whoever will" (Jn. 3:15, etc.) can recognize their need for mercy and may call out to God for mercy and gracious reconciliation with God and find that these are freely given. No, those who are destined to be vessels filled with God's wrath are those whom Paul elsewhere calls "the sons of disobedience" (Eph. 5:6), those who reject and resist God's right to be their King and Lord. (Lk. 19:27)
It is not to be supposed either that there are only these two types of vessels – those of wrath and those of mercy – discussed in the New Testament. These are only the first and ultimate categories by which the Creator will divide all people. Nor should it be supposed that all who claim to be the vessels of God's mercy are truly such – any more than one should presume that all who stand outside of some "Christian" group's man-made "theological" and religious boxes are vessels of wrath. Paul goes on to describe the Jews as having "a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge, …ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness [by the works of religious laws], [and] have not submitted to the righteousness of God." (Rom. 10:2-3) These Jews, as do many "Christians" today, consider themselves "God's chosen people" but live only in their own form of godliness while having no concept of, nor experience with, the life-changing power of God. (2 Tim. 3:5) Clearly, men's ideas of what is right and good are vastly different from God's ideas! (see Lk. 16:15)
Consider the contrast of Christ's abundant life (Jn. 10:10) and the way of religion (outward ceremony and mere appearance of piety). Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Mt. 11:28-30) But of the religious Jews who trusted in their own righteousness, He said, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. Therefore whatever they tell you, observe and do, but do not do according to their works, for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." (Mt. 23:2-4) This same indictment holds true of many, perhaps even most "church" "pastors" today as much more time and effort is given to the man's persona and aura of infallibility projected from behind the pulpit and to surrounding himself with zealous sycophants (yes-men) blind to these deceptions than is given to "perfecting holiness in the fear of God." (2 Cor. 7:1)
The New Testament uses the picture of vessels in various places. Paul wrote, "For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not us." (2 Cor. 4:6-7) The great Light that is God is freely given and clearly shown in Jesus Christ. It is this Light that Jesus spoke of when He said, "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand that those who enter may see the light." (Lk. 8:16) God never intends to light His "lamp" in our hearts only to have it covered up and blocked from view by our clay vessel. This is not flattering to men but the nature of God is never brought out in us by flattering our flesh or souls. In fact, the wise wedding maids are those who "took oil in their vessels with their lamps." (Mt. 25:4) These had oil – the Holy Spirit personally leading and guiding them – and they were able to keep their lamp lit even as the Bridegroom long delayed His return. They had no need to run to the heaped up teachers and spiritual gurus who sell oil (Mt. 25:9-10) – they had and followed God. And yet again, no room is left for men to boast. (1 Cor. 1:29)
In perhaps the most often overlooked and under-appreciated usage of the picture of man as a vessel, Paul wrote, "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor." (2 Tim. 2:20) Here again Paul is using the same picture as before, speaking of the vessels of mercy who are destined for honor and the vessels of wrath destined for dishonor. But this time he goes on to say, "Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful

Dear Friend,
COVID-19 has turned how we work upside down!
The people we serve are some of the hardest hit by this pandemic and more people are looking to us for support. We are responding with delivery of food, personal care items and engaging those we serve with a safe place to share their hardship and concerns.
To rise to the challenging needs, we have adapted how we work by combining the efforts of our St. Luke's Table, The Well and Centre 454, day programs. We are determined to do so for as long as necessary!
Our new outreach has significantly increased costs, such as the use of individual bags, packaging, single serving portions and van rentals to accommodate a reduced reliance on volunteers.
We have rented two vans and are actively delivering daily packages, where we know there are people who need it in the community.
We are concerned about how to cover the increased costs related to supporting the vulnerable in our community.
We know many of you are looking for meaningful ways to help our community when it needs it the most.
Please consider supporting this COVID-19 Special Appeal with a donation online to: St. Luke's Table or The Well or Centre 454 or by mailing a cheque referencing COVID-19 Special Appeal.
We would appreciate your help in making others aware of our urgent need by sharing this email with friends, family and colleagues or sharing our appeal on social media platforms.
Thank you!

Black men 2.5 times more likely than white men to be killed by police, new research estimates [There is corrorbation from LA times and the Guardian
https://journalistsresource.org/studies/government/criminal-justice/killed-police-black-men-likelywhite-men/
By Clark Merrefield
August 5, 2019
A black man in the U.S. has an estimated 1 in 1,000 chance of being killed by police during his lifetime, according to a paper out today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. That's 2.5 times the odds for a nonHispanic white man, the authors find.
Black women are 1.4 times more likely than white women to be killed by police. Men overall are 20 times more likely than women to be killed by police, according to the paper.
Young adults are generally more likely than older people to be killed violently – something called the agevictimization curve – and that holds true when it comes to police use of deadly force. Across race and gender, very few people over age 60 are killed by police, the paper finds. The odds for everyone spike from age 20 to 35. For black people, the odds stay higher longer.
"40-year-old black men are at about the same risk as 25-year-old white men," says Frank Edwards, an assistant professor at Rutgers University's School of Criminal Justice and one of the paper's authors. "So the risk for African Americans is following a really different pattern. The risk that black men and women face persist, and they're comparable to the highest rates of risk for white people at a younger age."
The sixth-leading cause of death for young men
American Indian men are also more likely than white, non-Hispanic men to be killed by police, at a rate 1.2 to 1.7 times greater, while the rate for Latino men is 1.3 to 1.4 times greater than the rate for white men, according to the paper. Asian and Pacific Islander men are half as likely as white men to be killed by police.
For all racial and ethnic groups, police use of force is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. for men age 25 to 29, Edwards says. Accidental fatalities, suicide, other types of homicide, heart disease and cancer rank higher.
"There's research that estimates the years of life lost from police and it's something like 50,000 years of life lost annually," Edwards says.
That figure is calculated from the estimated number of years a person would have lived if he or she had not died prematurely. A 30-year-old man who had a life expectancy of 80 years before he was killed by police has 50 years of life lost. Nationwide, the total years of life lost from encounters with law enforcement was 57,375 in 2015 and 54,754 in 2016, according to a 2018 paper in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
By contrast, meningitis is associated with about 50,000 years of life lost each year, maternal deaths with about 57,000 and unintentional firearm injuries about 41,000, according to the 2018 paper.
Journalists produce good data on people killed by police – the U.S. government doesn't (yet)
Research has thrown doubt on the reliability of federal data on deaths caused by police. The National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is one large federal database that counts people killed by police. But research published in recent years found the NVSS has undercounted these numbers by more than half. The FBI keeps tabs on what it calls justifiable homicide – "the killing of a felon by a peace officer in the line of duty" – but academic analyses also have found the FBI's numbers to be off by about half.
Edwards, along with co-authors Hedwig Lee and Michael Esposito, used data covering 2013 to 2018 from Fatal Encounters to calculate their estimates. Fatal Encounters is a data project run by journalist D. Brian Burghart. Researchers for Fatal Encounters track incidents in which police used deadly force and verify facts through news media reports and public records requests. The Washington Post also maintains a database of people who have been shot and killed by police, and the Guardian newspaper in the United Kingdom has in the past tracked police use of deadly force in America. Neither were used in the paper out today.
In 2017, the FBI tallied 429 justifiable homicides nationwide. For the same year, the NVSS counted 589 deaths from "legal intervention" – its term for deaths caused by police. Fatal Encounters put the total number of people killed during interactions with law enforcement at 1,750 in 2017.
"On the one hand, it's wonderful that we have people taking it upon themselves to do this in a way that's been fact checked and reliable and is something we can use to produce epidemiological research," Edwards says. "On the other hand, it's a travesty that it's come to that, and it's also tragic that this is happening in an era when local news is being gutted."
Offenders intentionally killed 46 law enforcement officers in 2017, according to FBI data.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics kept data on arrest-related deaths from 2003 to 2012 under its Mortality in Correctional Institutions (MCI) program. The federal agency stopped collecting data on arrest-related deaths in 2014, "due to concerns over the program's coverage and reliability," according to BJS criminologists.
The MCI program operates under the authority of the Death in Custody Reporting Act, last authorized in 2014, which requires that state and federal law enforcement agencies report to the U.S. Attorney General deaths that happen during interactions with or while in custody of police. But quarterly reporting won't begin until 2020, according to a Federal Register notice from the Department of Justice.
Just last week, BJS released a technical report on a pilot study of its redesigned survey methodology for counting arrest-related deaths, which includes reviewing media reports of people killed by police.
"The hybrid approach to identifying arrest-related deaths, which combined information from media reviews and agency surveys, resulted in improvements in data completeness and quality," the report concludes.
Spillover effects from police-related deaths
Spillover effects broadly refer to seemingly unrelated consequences that follow an action or event. There is at least one comprehensive, recent piece of academic research on the spillover effects that can happen when people are killed by police.
A 2018 study in The Lancet used more than 100,000 records from the CDC's nationally representative Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey to explore whether incidents where people are killed by police are associated with mental stress.
The authors found that police killings of unarmed black Americans could contribute to almost two additional days of poor mental health per person among black American adults. That's a total of 55 million extra poor mental health days each year. For comparison, the authors estimate that diabetes could be responsible for 75 million poor mental health days for black Americans. They didn't observe mental health impacts after police killed unarmed white Americans or armed black Americans.
Even when law enforcement officers use non-deadly tactics, there can be spillover effects in the communities they serve. Research has associated stop-and-frisk policing with poor mental health and increased risk of diabetes and obesity.
"Know the magnitude of the problem"
Dozens of cases of police killing black men have received national media attention. Some cases can take years to adjudicate. Last week, a judge recommended that Daniel Pantaleo, the New York Police Department officer who choked Eric Garner to death on a Staten Island sidewalk five years ago, should be fired.
The research out today provides contextual data that can gird future stories about incidents in which people are killed by police.
"You need good numbers to know the magnitude of the problem," says Edwards. "We think we've illustrated it should be taken seriously as a cause of early death, particularly among young people — to the extent that federal, state and local governments are interested in reducing deaths among young people."

U.S. police killed at least 258 black people in 2016, according to a project by The Guardian that tracks police killings in America.
Thirty-nine of these people were unarmed. Four were killed by police stun guns and another nine died in custody, a continuing problem in American jails. But the majority of black people killed by police were fatally shot.
Based on a tracker from The Washington Post, at least 232 black folks were shot and killed. (The Guardian's figures include all deaths resulting directly from encounters with law enforcement, while the Post counts only people who were shot and killed by police.)
The Post found that 34 percent of the unarmed people killed in 2016 were black males, which is quite disproportionate since black men make up only 6 percent of the U.S. population. There was also a considerable uptick in deaths caught on camera via cellphone and police cameras.
Take the case of Keith Lamont Scott, who was shot and killed by an officer in Charlotte, North Carolina, in September. Scott was the 173rd black person to be fatally shot by police in 2016, based on The Washington Post tally.
Police were searching for another man when they came across Scott, who they claim

MISTRAL GRENACHE
TASTING NOTES
Mistral displays a deep ruby color and rich aromas of raspberries, mountain blueberries, black currants, crushed roses, sweet tobacco, lavender, and anise. The flavors are bold, with lavish red and blue fruits intermixed with licorice, dark cocoa, French roast and Red Mountain scorched earth, followed by a lip smacking moderate tannin finish. Pairs with goat cheese, lamb skewers, high wind warnings and sideways rain.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Our grapes were hand sorted and mechanically destemmed into a small bin for a 1-2 day cold soak to bring out flavors and color. Yeast and nutrients were then added to start a 6 day fermentation. Then the "free run" wine was pumped into barrels and the remaining skins were gently pressed to extract remaining wine. into the barrels. The wine then went through a malolactic fermentation which softens the wine. Mistral was aged for 17 months in neutral American oak barrels and bottled on March 20, 2020.
VINTAGE AND VINEYARD NOTES
The 2018 vintage was a near-ideal, near-perfect growing season. Optimal weather conditions — warm days and cool nights — enabled grapes to develop an ideal balance of sugars and acids. Harvest was September 26 from Ciel du Cheval vineyard and October 3 from Gamache vineyard.

Residual Limb Care and Hygiene
For amputees, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" as the saying goes. The skin on your residual limb needs to be healthy to enable you to be as active as possible without experiencing pain or discomfort. New amputees often need to gradually increase the time that they are wearing their artificial limb to let their residual limb adjust to being in a socket. During this time and once you are wearing your artificial limb regularly, proper residual limb hygiene is essential to prevent skin disorders.
Perspiration is one of the common irritants affecting the skin. The skin helps regulate body temperature by producing sweat (perspiration), which evaporates and cools the body. Especially as we head into summer, we often become more active and the heat makes us sweat more, making perspiration more of a concern.
Our perspiration contains solids which accumulate in the socket of an artificial limb and on the residual limb. These solids, combined with the warm, moist environment within the socket, make an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. In addition, as perspiration builds up it can also lead to "pistoning" (moving around within the socket), which in turn can chafe the skin and cause abrasions.
The residual limb is confined in a socket all day long. Air does not circulate around it to evaporate the perspiration, so sweat can be trapped against the skin. If the residual limb is not kept clean, it may become infected easily and may develop a bad odour. Small irritations from rubbing of the socket may become so serious that the artificial limb cannot be worn.

The first – and most important – rule for the health of the residual limb is: KEEP IT CLEAN. Cleaning the residual limb should become part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth.
Keep it Clean
The Residual Limb
* Cleaning the residual limb should preferably be done at night. Morning washes are not advised unless a stump sock is worn because if the skin is damp it can swell and stick to the inside of the socket.
* Wet the skin thoroughly with warm water.
* Use mild fragrance-free soap or an antiseptic cleaner if you prefer.
* Work up a foamy lather. Use more water for more suds.
* Rinse with clean water, making sure all traces of soap are gone. A soapy film left on the skin may be an irritant.
* Dry skin thoroughly.
The Socket/Liner
* The socket/liner should be cleaned often – every day in warm weather, to cut down on the accumulation of dried perspiration on the inner surface.
* Wash it at night to give it time to dry thoroughly.
* Wash with warm water (not hot!) and mild soap.
* Wipe out with a cloth dampened in clean water.
* Dry your socket thoroughly before putting it on. Amputees who use silicone liners might want to consider having two, to allow one to be left for 24 hours to dry.
The Sock
Wearing a light stump sock may have a cooling effect, as well as providing additional padding for the residual limb. Stump socks can also help wick perspiration away from the skin, for instance one that contains CoolMax® fabric by DuPont.
* The stump sock needs to be changed every day (and sometimes more often in hot weather), and should be washed as soon as it has been taken off so perspiration doesn't dry in it. Use mild soap and warm (never hot!) water.
* Rinse thoroughly.
* A rubber ball of a similar size can be put inside to help retain its shape.
Residual limb
cleansing at night.
As well, freshening up partly through the day (or just after a recreational activity) by cleaning your residual limb, socket and/or liner or sock, is a good idea. Moist towelettes really do come in handy at this time!
Small disorders can quickly get out of hand and, if not properly treated, can lead to a more serious condition preventing you from wearing your artificial limb until the condition heals. If skin disorders do persist, amputees should consult their physician for treatment – a minor disorder may become worse if incorrectly treated.

Our View: Will OPEC Sign Its Death Warrant?
Philip K. Verleger December 2, 2019
Argus Media's chief economist David Fyfe addressed the upcoming OPEC meeting in a blog published last week. His second paragraph nicely summed up the view of most who follow the oil market. After noting the widespread belief that OPEC+ would extend the current agreement, he wrote the following:
Based on forward market fundamentals, Opec+ should be preparing further supply cuts when producers meet in Vienna on 5-6 December. The existing production accord for 2019 targeted a 1.2mn b/d reduction for Opec members and the 10 non-Opec participating producers. 1
Fyfe expressed a view held by many analysts. However, his opinion does not reflect the perspective of most professional economists who are not invested in oil.
After viewing Fyfe's projections in the context of a slowing global economy and pressures from investors and environmentalists to reduce fossil fuel consumption, most professional economists would probably conclude that oil-exporting countries would be cutting their own throats by reducing production further. The most strident of these economists would warn that now is not the time for this.
These economists would likely add that many of the world's oil companies are standing on the edge of a financial cliff. All that is required is a small push to change the market outlook completely and invalidate Fyfe's predictions. They might also explain that oil firms accounted for ten percent of the S&P 500 in 2014, just before the last price collapse, but account for only 4.3 percent today.
Thus, the rational strategy for OPEC today seems to be "do nothing," that is, make no changes to the current OPEC+ agreement and let prices slide. The decline would help restore the organization's market share.
On the other hand, if the OPEC+ members cut production to sustain prices at current levels or raise them, they could be signing their death warrants. Such actions would allow non-OPEC producers to continue funding projects that will take market share from the producer's club. Meanwhile, the pressure to combat global warming will surely lead to cutbacks in fossil fuel use, including oil, leaving OPEC+ or whatever remains of the organization with a declining market share.

Abstract
Background: The role of diet and inflammation in successful ageing is not transparent, and as such, is still being investigated. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the inflammatory potential of dietary habits in the successful ageing of a random sample of older adults living in the Mediterranean basin and who participated in the MEDIS (MEDiterranean ISlands) study. Methods: During 2005–2016, 3,128 older adults (aged 65–100 years) from 24 Mediterranean is- lands and the rural Mani region (Peloponnesus) of Greece were enrolled in the study. A multidimensional successful ageing index consisting of 10 components was employed. A validated and reproducible Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to evaluate the dietary habits of the older adults. A nutrition anti-inflammatory (NAI) score based on the participants' specific dietary habits was assessed. Results: Participants with high NAI scores (proinflammatory nutrition) had a higher prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and lower levels of successful ageing. After adjusting for several confounders, the NAI score was associated with successful ageing (–0.03, 95% CI –0.5 to –0.006). Stratified analysis by gender and advanced age revealed heterogeneity in the NAI score, predicting successful ageing. Conclusions: The inflammatory potential of nutrition was reported as an important factor for successful ageing, suggesting that further research is needed on the role of anti- and proinflammatory dietary habits in healthy and successful ageing.

Introduction
Ageing remains one of the major public health challenges globally [1]. It was estimated that in 2015, the population over 65 years of age approached 1.5 billion [2]. In order to reduce the negative impact of ageing, great efforts are being put in to achieve healthy ageing. Healthy and successful ageing is considered as a low probability for disease and disability, high cognitive and physical capacity, as well as active participation in various social activities [3, 4]. The aforementioned state of "successful ageing" is related to lower mortality rates [5] and better health outcomes [6]. The process of "healthy," "active," and "successful" ageing itself is quite complex and is associated with a variety of factors. Based on the aforementioned, the MEDIS (MEDiterranean ISlands) investigators have created a successful ageing index (SAI) using 10 specific attributes. The MEDIS SAI was reported to be multidimensional with the 3 following components: psychosocial-economic, bioclinical, and lifestyle [6].
The determinants of successful ageing and, specifically, the role of the diet's inflammatory potential in ageing remain poorly understood. Previously, well-documented studies have reported a strong association between nutrition and inflammatory marker regulation [7–9]. The Mediterranean diet as a healthy dietary pattern [9], as well as flavonoids, polyphenols, n-3 fatty acids and other food components (i.e., coffee, tea, wine, etc.) are well known for offering anti-inflammatory protection [10]. Moreover, it has been reported that the process of inflammation, oxidative stress, and advancing age is strongly related to biological pathways that interact with the dietary habits of older adults [11]. Recently, Tyrovolas et al. [12] reported that increased energy intake and a positive energy balance are associated with lower successful ageing levels. Although it is widely accepted that inflammation throughout atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction pathways [13] is associated with cardiovascular health and healthy ageing [14], there is a lack of evidence on the inflammatory role of the diet or specific food items in the ageing process.
Given the complexity of the successful ageing pathway and its interrelation with inflammation and oxidative stress, together with the lack of data among Mediterranean older populations, the aim of the present work was to evaluate the association between the inflammatory potential of nutrition and successful ageing in a random sample of older adults living in the Mediterranean basin and who participated in the MEDIS study.
Methods
The MEDIS Study Sample
Between 2005 and 2016, a population-based, multinational, convenience sampling was performed to voluntarily enroll older people from 24 Mediterranean islands from Greece, Republic of Cyprus, Malta, Italy, and Spain [6]. 49.9% of the study participants were males. According to the study protocol, individuals were not eligible for inclusion if they resided in assisted-living centers, had a clinical history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer, or had lived away from the island for a considerable period of time during their lives (i.e., >5 years). These exclusion criteria were applied because the study aimed to assess lifestyle habits that were not subject to modifications due to existing chronic health conditions or by environmental factors, other than living milieu. A group of health scientists (physicians, dietitians, and nurses) with experience in field investigation collected all the required information using a quantitative questionnaire and standard procedures.
The study followed the ethical considerations provided by the World Medical Association (52nd WMA General Assembly, Edinburgh, UK, October 2000). The Institutional Ethics Board of Harokopio University approved the design and procedures of the study (reference No. 16/19-12-2006). Participants were informed about the aims and procedures of the study and gave their consent prior to being interviewed.
Evaluation of Clinical Characteristics
All the measurements taken in the different study centers were standardized, and the questionnaires were translated in all the cohorts' languages following the World Health Organization translation guidelines for tool assessment [15]. Weight, height, and waist circumference were measured using a standard protocol; body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the ratio of weight by height squared (kg/m 2 ). Overweight was defined as BMI 25–29.9, and obesity was defined as BMI >29.9. Diabetes mellitus (type 2) was determined by fasting plasma glucose tests and was analyzed in accordance with the American Diabetes Association diagnostic criteria (glycated hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5 or fasting blood glucose levels >125 mg/dl or 2-h plasma glucose >200 mg/dl during an oral glucose tolerance test or a random plasma glucose >200 mg/dl, or by a prior diagnosis of diabetes). Participants who had blood pressure levels ≥ 140/90 mm Hg or used antihypertensive medications were classified as hypertensive. Fasting blood lipid levels (HDL, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides) were also recorded, and hypercholesterolemia was defined as total serum cholesterol levels >200 mg/ dL or the use of lipid-lowering agents according to the NCEP ATPIII guidelines [16]. Symptoms of depression during the previous month were assessed using the validated Greek version (also translated in all the cohort's languages) of the shortened, self-report Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (range 0–20) [17]. Participants
with a GDS score >11 were included in the severe depressive symptoms group, while those with a GDS <10 were included in the mild and low depressive symptoms group.
Evaluation of Dietary Habits, Sociodemographic, and Other Lifestyle Characteristics of the Participants
Dietary habits were assessed through a semiquantitative, validated, and reproducible food frequency questionnaire [18]. The frequency of consumption of various food types and beverages (i.e., meat and meat products, fish and seafood, milk and other dairy products, fruits, vegetables, greens and

Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, DC. 20554
In the Matter of
) IB Docket No. 11-109
Ligado's Modification Applications) IB Docket No. 12-340
COMMENTS OF THOMAS M. LENARD, PH.D
PRESIDENT AND SENIOR FELLOW, TECHNOLOGY POLICY INSTITUTE
"Spectrum is the lifeblood of mobile broadband," as Federal Communications Chairman Tom Wheeler has noted. 1 Indeed, much of the FCC's recent focus has been on the broadcast incentive auction, which has the potential to free up 126 MHz for mobile broadband use. But it will take time for this spectrum to become available. An additional 30 MHz, however, is available immediately if the FCC takes quick action.
The Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) spectrum licensed by Ligado (formerly LightSquared) has been in limbo and unable to be deployed for mobile broadband for many years. 2 Because the benefits of deployment are large, delay generates significant costs for consumers, as well as uncertainty for Ligado and other spectrum holders.
In order to resolve concerns about potential harmful interference to Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and devices in adjacent spectrum, Ligado is proposing a number of operational restrictions and modifications to its licenses. Specifically, Ligado is proposing to relinquish
1 https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-335877A1.pdf
2 See, for example, Thomas M. Lenard, Lawrence J. White and James L. Riso, "Increasing Spectrum for Broadband: What are the Options," February 12, 2010, available at https://techpolicyinstitute.org/commentary/increasingspectrum-for-broadband-what-are-the-options/
authority to operate in the 1545-1555 MHz portion of the MSS downlink band and to add operational restrictions to the licenses for 1526-1536 MHz, 1627.5-1637.5 MHz and1646.5-
1656.5 MHz portions of the MSS uplink band. The FCC is seeking comment on whether the proposed operational restrictions and license modifications resolve the interference concerns.
This proceeding should be the last hurdle in making the Ligado spectrum available for mobile broadband use.
The need for additional flexibly licensed spectrum for mobile broadband and other uses is well established and was central to the Commission’s 2010 National Broadband Plan. In the short
run, the most available spectrum—indeed, the only significant block of spectrum that is already licensed by not deployed—is the MSS spectrum licensed to Ligado. By approving the proposed
license modifications, and thereby resolving the dispute with the GPS industry, an additional 30
MHz of flexibly licensed prime spectrum will quickly become available for mobile broadband uses. This will produce significant benefits for millions of users of mobile broadband services
and for the U.S. economy more generally.
A favorable action by the Commission in a parallel proceeding
3
—to allocate the 1675-1680 MHz band for terrestrial mobile use on a shared basis with federal users—would allow an additional
10 MHz (1670-1680 MHz) to be productively used. In total, this would add 40 MHz of flexibly licensed spectrum—more than half the AWS 3 spectrum, which yielded $45 billion in auction
revenues just last year. The Ligado spectrum is likely to yield multiples of that amount in consumer benefits.

3 RM-11681, April 22, 2016.

Accommodation," The Brattle Group.
http://www.brattle.com/system/publications/pdfs/000/004/690/original/GPS_Inference_Bazelon_Jun_22_2011.pdf?
The proposed modifications reflect agreements Ligado has reached with the three major GPS device firms, Garmin, Deere and Trimble. In addition, Ligado has submitted test results from Roberson and Associates showing that the GPS devices will work appropriately if the spectrum is used consistent with the conditions negotiated with the manufacturers. The agreements supplemented by the data from the test results should assure the Commission that the proposed license modifications will address the interference concerns raised by the GPS as well as the aviation sector's use of GPS.
The Commission has correctly placed the burden of proof on any commenter who might argue that the proposed conditions still do not satisfactorily address interference concerns by requesting "that such commenters supply specific relevant technical information about affected GPS receivers…and their performance or functioning…that support their assertion that additional measures would be necessary to resolve remaining concerns of potential harmful interference should Ligado operate a terrestrial mobile network in accordance with the specified set of technical parameters proposed." This is appropriate.
The Obama Administration and the FCC have been attempting to move spectrum into the commercial sector, particularly by freeing up government spectrum. Failure to approve the current proposed license modifications would effectively achieve the opposite result by
transferring a large block of spectrum from the commercial sector back to the government. The
Commission should avoid this possibility by approving the Ligado proposal expeditiously.

Request for Proposal (RFP)
Procurement of ERP System for Financial Solutions
Contents
1. Introduction
FINCA Pakistan (FINCA) traces its roots back to 2008 when it started its journey as Kashf Microfinance Bank. The Bank became a part of the global FINCA family in 2013, whereby it joined 20 other affiliated host-country institutions (affiliates) of FINCA International in Africa, the Caribbean, Eurasia, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia.
Currently, FINCA Pakistan is providing responsible financial services, such as small loans or savings accounts to more than 900,000 clients, through a branch network of 130 branches across 120+ cities in Pakistan.
2. Purpose of this document
Proposals are invited from ERP Implementation Consultants for implementing of the Budgeting, Financial reporting and Procure to pay.
3. Background
FINCA's Management believes that the acquisition of well-integrated financial solutions will pave the way for achieving growth and sustainability. Therefore, we plan to implement the automation of Procurement, Payables, Treasury, and Fixed Assets Management etc., to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
FINCA's Central Finance and Accounts (CFA) department is currently performing the majority of its operations manually. The Bank is using the Core Banking System (CBS) for its branch banking operations. All transactions generated by the banking operations are posted in General Ledger, an integrated facility available in the CBS, whereas all other functions are being carried out manually.
The department is responsible for the following:
a) Accounts payable
b) Budgeting/ Forecasting
c) Tax calculations
d) Treasury Backend Operations
e) Fixed assets managements
4. Existing System
Currently, FINCA is using the following modules:
| Module | Function | | Integration | Department |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | Required | |
| Core Banking System (CBS) | Branch operations for loans and deposits | Yes | | |
| AutoAssets | Fixed asset module for booking/disposal/write-off of assets | Not Required. To be replaced by new system | | |
| ADAMS | Sale, purchase, and revaluation of the investments | Yes | | |
| HRMS | Payroll processing | Yes | | |
CBS does not offer any module for the handling of procurement, payables, vendor management, tax computations, and budgeting. All tasks related to the aforementioned modules are being carried out manually. All transactions related Core Banking Operations, AutoAssets, and HRMS Module are posted in the GL automatically. In contrast, all other functions, like vendor payments, tax computations, procurement, prepayments, and advances to employees, are posted directly in the GL manually through a batch file.
The following chart further explains the whole process:

Am Law Lawyers Rush to Meet Client Needs By Tax Disclosure Deadline
By
Brian
Oct. 14, 2009
Baxter
Be it last-minute deadlines, frantic clients, or impromptu therapy sessions, the dawn of a new tax day is here for many U.S. citizens.
October 15 is the amnesty deadline for Americans to file income tax returns with the IRS and voluntarily disclose assets stashed away in Swiss bank accounts or other offshore tax havens. And Am Law attorneys now find themselves swamped and trying to keep up with the workload.
"On top of making sure we have all these disclosures filed by close of business tomorrow, I'm still fielding calls from people who were either unaware of this [amnesty] initiative or had been holding out until the end," says Greenberg Traurig tax partner Barbara Kaplan in New York. "I expect that'll be the trend for the next 48 hours."
Clients walking through the firm's door or calling at the last minute still need to be vetted for potential conflicts, Kaplan says, adding that she has three lawyers assisting her full-time lawyers and another part-time. Most of the clients coming in at this point have either been referred to Kaplan or found her through the media, she says.
And unlike an understanding college professor willing to look the other way on a late assignment, the IRS deadline is hard and fast.
"Technically you have until midnight tomorrow night to get something postmarked, if you can find a post office that's still open," says Miller & Chevalier tax partner George Clarke III in Washington, D.C. "But a deadline is a deadline, if you miss it, too bad."
Clarke and a colleague at his firm are handling almost all of the tax amnesty work-"that's meant the bulk of it is on us," he jokes. Forms have been filed for all clients, save for one that will be mailed tomorrow, he says. Clarke's crossing his fingers that there won't be any late-breaking emergencies.
Some of those turning to counsel as the deadline nears have made the decision not to come forward, Clarke says, noting he spoke to several individuals earlier this week that either went elsewhere or chose the non-disclosure route.
That's a risky decision fraught with complications and other mitigating factors, Kaplan says. (The Los Angeles Times reported earlier this week that many immigrant families now in the U.S.--many work in the entertainment industry-have been grappling with the implications of the deadline.)
"Some folks just want to take their chances and fly under the radar, while others have conflicting interests with family members or spouses," Kaplan says. "Most of the [clients] I'm seeing involve family groups and not just an isolated taxpayer."
Kaplan has recommended that most clients come forward. Letters by UBS to its U.S. clients notifying them that their account information will be turned over to the government has encouraged many to heed the advice to disclose, Kaplan says, adding that the Justice Department has queued up a list of 150 names from a list turned over in February for potential criminal prosecution.
Kaplan estimates that it will take the IRS at least a year to review the individual cases of those people coming forward with information. "We started voluntary disclosures before the initiative was even announced, and those cases have not yet concluded," she says. "The criminal investigation group [at the IRS] conducts the screening process at the front-end to make sure people qualify for voluntary disclosure. And that process is taking one-to-two months."
The Justice Department has charged five individuals--three former UBS employees and two non-UBS bankers--with helping American citizens avoid U.S. taxes. (Click here for a list of key figures in the government's tax evasion investigation.)
The government's chief whistleblower, former UBS private banker Bradley Birkenfeld, pled guilty totax conspiracy charges in June 2008. Birkenfeld received a 40-month prison sentence in August after cooperating with prosecutors.
Another defendant, former UBS wealth management business chair Raoul Weil, was declared a fugitive by a federal court in January. Weil's lawyer, Aaron Marcu from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, did not respond to a request for comment.
The three other defendants--Swiss bankers Mario Staggl and Hansruedi Schumacher and lawyer Matthias Rickenbach from Swiss firm Rickenbach & Partner--have also not yet entered appearances in a U.S. court. (A prosecutor in the case declined to name U.S. counsel for the trio.)
Reuters reports that the arrest of fugitive film director Roman Polanski in Switzerland on U.S. charges should give pause to Swiss bankers and lawyers with warrants out for their arrest, as traveling to other jurisdictions with less-lenient tax laws could put them at risk for

Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests
Scirtothrips aurantii
IDENTITY
Name: Scirtothrips aurantii Faure
Synonyms: Scirtothrips acaciae Moulton
Taxonomic position: Insecta: Thysanoptera: Thripidae
Common names: South African citrus thrips (English)
Thrips sud-africain des agrumes (French)
Citrusblasenfuss (German)
Bayer computer code: SCITAU
EPPO A1 list: No. 221
EU Annex designation: II/A1
HOSTS
Although usually considered to be associated with Citrus, especially oranges (C. sinensis) in Southern Africa, S. aurantii has been found on more than 50 plant species in a wide range of different plant families, and is sometimes a pest of mangoes (Mangifera indica) when these are grown close to citrus trees in South Africa. Its native hosts are probably Acacia and Combretum trees, but it has also been taken on a range of crops that are not only botanically unrelated but differ widely in form, including Arachis, Asparagus, Gossypium, Musa, Ricinus and Vitis.
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION
S. aurantii is native to Africa, and the only records considered to be valid (i.e. supported by voucher specimens in an available collection) from outside this continent are from Yemen.
EPPO region: Egypt.
Asia: Yemen.
Africa: Angola, Cape Verde, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria,
Réunion, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe.
EU: Absent.
Distribution map: See CIE (1961, No. 137).
BIOLOGY
All stages feed on epidermal, or even palisade, cells of young leaves, and on the apex of young fruit often concealed under the calyx (Milne & Manicom, 1978). They do not feed on mature leaves (Hall, 1930). Eggs are inserted into young tissues. There are two nymphal (feeding) stages, followed by two pupal (non-feeding) stages. Pupation occurs on the ground amongst leaf litter; pupae occur rarely beneath the calyx of fruits. Breeding is almost continuous, although development is slow in winter, and the life history can be completed in less than 30 days.
Adults are probably dispersed downwind, but observations in South Africa have suggested that early-season infestations in citrus orchards develop mainly from thrips that have overwintered within each orchard, rather than from adults flying in from wild plants (Gilbert, 1990). Later in the season (November and December), wild hosts probably assume greater importance as a source of the pest. Citrus trees close to windbreaks of Grevillea trees (that harbour S. aurantii) had more severe fruit scarring than citrus trees close to windbreaks of Pinus or Casuarina trees (these do not support S. aurantii) (Grout & Richards, 1990a).
DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION
Symptoms
Silvering of the leaf surface; linear thickenings of the leaf lamina; brown frass markings on the leaves and fruits; grey to black markings on fruits often forming a ring around the apex; ultimately fruit distortion and early senescence of leaves. If flushes of young leaves are severely attacked later in the season, then the crop of the following season may be reduced (Kamburov, 1991).
Morphology
Members of the genus Scirtothrips are readily distinguished from all other Thripidae by the following characters: surface of pronotum covered with many closely spaced transverse striae; abdominal tergites laterally with numerous parallel rows of tiny microtrichia; sternites with marginal setae arising at posterior margin; metanotum with median pair of setae arising near anterior margin. The only closely similar species is Drepanothrips reuteri, a native European pest of grapevine, but that has the antennae 6-segmented (the 3 terminal segments being fused) instead of 8-segmented. Most of the 59 species described in Scirtothrips were defined originally by their authors on unreliable colour and silhouette characters; Mound & Palmer (1981) describe many structural details by which each pest species may be distinguished. Many undescribed species are known from Central America (Mound & Marullo, in press). Scirtothrips spp. primarily infest young growing buds, so these should be examined particularly carefully.
In S. aurantii, the eggs are bean-shaped, minute (less than 0.2 mm) and inserted into soft plant tissues. The two feeding nymphal stages are yellow to orange, cigar-shaped and just visible to the naked eye. Adult males can be distinguished from all other members of the genus by the presence of a comb of stout setae on the posterior margin of the hind femora; also, the ninth abdominal tergite of males bears a pair of long curved dark lateral processes (drepanae). Females have the following characters: median ocellar setae on the head arising close together and in line with the anterior margins of the posterior pair of ocelli; forewing posteromarginal cilia wavy not straight; median abdominal sternites fully covered with microtrichia; abdominal tergites and sternites with a transverse anterior dark line; tergites with a dark median area. The larvae are yellow, with the body surface finely granulate.
MEANS OF MOVEMENT AND DISPERSAL
As mentioned above under Biology, the potential of Scirtothrips spp. for natural spread is relatively limited. In international trade, S. aurantii could be carried on plants for planting, but in fact interceptions are relatively rare. Unlike many Thysanoptera, Scirtothrips spp. seem to require access to soft green tissues, except when pupating in leaf litter and soil. So only seedlings or cuttings with young growing leaf buds are liable to carry these pests. Only young fruits are attacked, so the risk of these thrips being carried on harvested fruits is small. There is no direct evidence that S. aurantii has been dispersed beyond its natural range by human activity. It has, however, been intercepted in the Netherlands.
PEST SIGNIFICANCE
Economic impact
At least ten Scirtothrips spp. are known as pests of various crops in different parts of the tropics, but most of them have restricted geographic ranges and tropical host plants, such as S. kenyensis which damages tea and coffee in eastern Africa, or S. manihoti which causes serious leaf distortion of cassava in Central and South America. Scirtothrips spp. are particularly associated with plants that are growing actively in warm, dry conditions; they are usually more abundant on terminal shoots rather than within the canopy of a tree. With S. citri and S. dorsalis (EPPO/CABI, 1996), S. aurantii is, as a pest of citrus, one of the most important Scirtothrips spp. for international agriculture.
In South Africa and Zimbabwe, S. aurantii causes reduction in citrus yields through serious damage to young leaves, and reduces the proportion of export quality fruits. It is a most serious pest at low altitudes (Hill, 1983). It is not generally regarded as harmful to crops further north in Africa, although this might be due to less intensive cultivation practices. Damage to tea plants has been reported from plantations in Malawi (Rattan 1992), and S. aurantii is the primary cause of banana fruit spotting in Yemen (Nasseh & Mughni, 1990).
Control
It is recommended, for example, to spray fruits towards the end of a main flowering period, when three-quarters of petals have fallen, using a water solution of lime sulphur (Hill, 1983). Triazophos is currently used in South Africa, and yellow card traps and treatment thresholds are used to time treatments (Samways et al., 1987; Grout & Richards, 1990b). Nasseh & Mughni (1990) refer to the use of dimethoate and natural insecticides in Yemen. Rattan (1992), for control of the pest on tea in Malawi, notes that dimethoate is to be preferred to fenitrothion or malathion, that quinalphos, triazophos and acephate are also effective, and that resistance has developed to the synthetic pyrethroids. Predacious mites such as Euseius addoensis, persisting on surrounding shade trees, may contribute to control in South Africa (Grout & Richards, 1992).
Phytosanitary risk
S. aurantii has recently been added to the EPPO A1 list, and is also a quarantine pest for APPPC, OIRSA and SPC. Its occurrence in citrus-growing areas with a subtropical or Mediterranean climate suggests that it could probably establish on citrus in southern Europe and the Mediterranean area. It is a damaging pest on citrus, and requires insecticide treatments. Its potential effect on other hosts in the EPPO region does not merit any particular concern.

MODELING MANAGERIAL ACTIVITY, A CHALLENGE OR A NEED INTO THE INTERCONECTED ECONOMIC SPACE
Senior lecturer Ph. D. Liviu Mihăescu
„Lucian Blaga" University, Sibiu, Romania
E-mail: liviu.mihaescu@ulbsibiu.ro
Abstract
In the European economic area, which becomes more and more interconnected, the management system provides ways of obtaining a performance which, on changing the size of the firm, sometimes prove to be inadequate. During that lapse of time from triggering the action when the results can be measured should be as small continuously decreasing. The information required to be used in the decision support are required more avid. The manager will use different models for measurements of indicators of discrete evaluation, but it proves that not to be the best solution. Only the availability of this information will enable them to make better decisions, and by changing the way of how the decision making needs to get a deep effect on those decisions which are currently in action.
Keywords: interconnected economy, managerial activity, sustainable development, management model, resource evaluation, risk management.
1. The current status
We have to realize that the dimensions of the crisis we face today are significantly higher in comparison with the situation recorded in the years of '30. This statement can be supported by "catastrophe" and "opposite of the American dream" which have been two expressions of the new U.S. president with the first publication of figures on Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The need for urgent action is illustrated by the critical situation in which there is the strongest economy in the world, U.S. The US GDP declined in the fourth quarter of 2008 by 3,8%, the biggest decline in first quarter in 1982 (-6,4%), according to official data. In the current contemporary economy interconnected we witnessed the export of U.S. economic problems in the whole world economy.
The global economy will continue to slow in 2009. During the official opening speech to the Economic Forum in Davos this winter, the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin criticized the American capitalism: "A year ago, the U.S. delegations that spoke from the lectern emphasized the fundamental stability of the U.S. economy and its solid perspectives. Today, the investment banks, the pride of Wall Street have ceased to exist". Also the Chinese counterpart, Wen Jiabao, said that "an unsustainable model of development characterized by a strong consumerism, blind rush for profits and the failure of financial supervision" have helped trigger the economic and social crisis.
It is obvious that the old technologies of the Romanian firms can not step with the competition from EU firms. In most of the firms we are finding that the traditional performance measurement didn't give us information about the true sources of value creation (Ernst & Young Center for Business Innovation).
2. A not too distant future
In the next years that will follow, the national economy may be influenced by the profound technological changes that will have direct implication in the systems' performance. The predictions show that in future will find that:
* there will be an increasingly, faster and cheaper way to achieve interconnectivity, there will be huge storage environments and very effective, and the possibilities of communication will be more extensive. Will find an increase in the volume of information circulating and also in the speed with which it is transmitted;
* the computer programs for analyzing a constantly increasing volume of information will be permanently improved, but not as fast as technology hardware. The performance measurement system will be growing, providing relevant results for an increasing number of inputs;
* sciences like mathematics, computer science, microbiology will be able to offer new types of devices, new ways of making the calculus, new points of view in understanding, assessing and developing feedback and implicit in management systems;
* materials science will be able to provide new polymers, new materials with very different properties and increasingly low costs (new batteries, new types of ceramics, microcircuits, plastics etc.). Sensors or other devices of observation will provide more ways of evaluating performance. Thus, a growing number of elements will now be observable and measurable;
* the influence on the intangible value creation will spread and will be achieved by virtual monopolies by continue innovation. It will change the ways of evaluating the opportunities and establishing investment decisions. The information becomes the feedback
guide in the decision and will increase as a product.
By increasing interconnectivity, the information will travel faster in a higher complexity and completeness. The quickly feedback will assess emergency situations and will offer the answer for any process, imposed by a corrective action or decision. The more complete feedback will provide to managers the opportunity of evaluating new dimensions of the situations analyzed in the finest details. The more complex connectivity gives new ways to control efficiency, changing the traditional boundaries between what is inside and outside the company.
In a short time, the interconnected economy will remove restrictions of physical space and its will introduce the time as a new dimension in the critical exchange of business in this economy, and together with speed and completeness of feedback will have the most profound effect on performance measurement (Siesfeld, T., 2005).
3. Requirements facts
With sensors used in operational processes, with broadband telephony, with models of planning resources that will demand relation stocks "just in time" production of the case and measuring the effect is increasingly compressed. This feedback allows almost instant use of adaptive control models, very sensitive from the "normal time" to the "right time" in making production and its immediate sale. There will be changes following the growth rate due to feedback in the business environment that will influence managers' activity.
1. Quickly feedback will help the adaptive control and automation. If the time period between predictions and achievement will be shorter, thus the error associated with the predictions will disappear. The forecast for a week may not be as safe as forecast for the next day. If we assume forecasts with greater accuracy it will allow actions with an increased efficiency, so it can be concluded that managers will be more appreciated if they would base their decisions on the most recent available feedback. Supported by the increasing speed with which information will be available for managers, the adaptive action will be more competitive in the long term planning.
The models of management will increase in performance, will synthesize the results of measurements automatically and will automatically generate recommendations for action by increasing the firm's adjustment capacity to act to stimulus. This increased reaction capacity will provide companies an advantage face to those "slow adaptive" companies. By the managers release from the corrective "small decisions" they will focus mainly to the strategic decisions. Thus, routine decisions with little volatility will be automated. The firms will benefit from an increased attention to important issues that are required in more complex decision. Thus, the manager will consider attention as the second most important resource after capital.
2. Quickly feedback will require rapid reaction. As the growth rate of obtaining, analyzing and responding to feedback will find a change of the "location" where the decision will be taken. Those who are "closer to information" will act more quickly and will be in benefit compared with those placed "far from information". Thus, very complex hierarchical structures will have levels of command and control unable to compete with the "fast companies" who have distributed responsibilities in decision making.
Inside the adaptive firms, the employees will be "burdened" for responding (for reacting) to local information, and in the non-adaptive firms will find the reverse. This rule may have the following corollary:
* the measure of employees performance will have to change for reflecting the increasing importance of their intellectual contributions, changing the meaning of "productivity in knowledge-based business";
* the managers will give subordinates the ability to take their own decisions;
* the customer near levels at which decisions are taken will guide their ability to know the changes that will take place in companies before meeting theirs managers and will provide supplementary added value in the correction client-company with a strong connectivity.
3. Just holding the information will not be a competitive advantage. The interconnected economy implies that each information which is circulating through all the system connections, but it will reach different points at different times. Thus, not only holding the information will not determine a competitive success of the company. All managers will be able to base their decisions on this information, but only those who will acquire and use information will be the "first user advantage".
This shows that companies must invest in the achievement of analytical models of decision-making capable of accumulating information. Similarly, the absolute secret is impossible and will become counterproductive, but the methods of delay in information dissemination will offer some benefits on short term. Companies will need to "capitalize information" not isolate them from others.
4. The quickly feedback will produce a more profound perception. By using the new technologies for data storage, the rapid feedback allows the manager to measure performance at increasingly short intervals. The ability to record feedback more frequently will provide managers the ability to understand more

INTERNATIONAL REGULATION OF FANTASY SPORTS: COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIAN, AND ASIAN LAWS
1
Muralee Das
INTRODUCTION
As sports team fans, we often passionately criticize the decisions of coaches and managers with regards to team strategy. For example, most fans often engage in discussions with friends and colleagues on their personal take for team selection. That is their own "fantasy team" of players whom they believe have what it takes to win the match and indeed the championship. However, each of these assembled fantasy teams remains untested because there is simply no method to measure our ability to select the winning fantasy team. Thus, with each new sports season come the chats and critical appraisals of team selection all over again.
However, all of this changed in the 1960s. Since then, sports fans in the United States have had the opportunity to form such "fantasy teams," 2 (albeit not in the mainstream way of today) and engage in "competition" with other "fantasy teams." The winning fantasy team is determined by the actual performance of their players in real-life competition. 3 This has been made possible by the use of widely available performance statistics for players and teams. 4

The concept of a fantasy team actually began within academic circles and is attributed to William Gamson, 5 a professor of psychology at Harvard University. Gamson organized the earliest fantasy competition among his peers. 6 Fantasy sports was later popularized by another academic, Daniel Okrant, in New York. 7 As interest in fantasy competitions increased, the practice evolved into a league called the Rotisserie League, named after the New York café where these fantasy team league discussions were held. 8
The next evolution of fantasy sports occurred through newspapers which popularized sports amongst their readers. 9 Eventually, the advent of the internet in the mid-1990s led to the commercialization of fantasy leagues in the U.S. 10 Participants paid entry fees to fantasy team league operators and created one or several fantasy teams that competed with other participants. 11 The fantasy team operators pegged salary values for each player, which then became the basis of maximum salaries that can be paid for each fantasy sports team. 12 Winning fantasy teams (based on statistical calculations of the actual on-field player's performance) received prize money — sometimes in the millions. 13 In fact, as of 2015, 56.8 million people were registered to play in fantasy sport leagues in the U.S. 14 One of the largest U.S. fantasy sports operators, FanDuel, paid $564 million in winnings in 2014. 15 There are also reports of people playing fantasy sports full-time with multiple fantasy teams in multiple competitions. 16 The single largest sports league played in fantasy sports is the National Football League (NFL). 17

combined with the availability of fantasy league operators, quickly resulted in a new industry. 18 Many of these operators began capitalizing on the massive growth of the industry in a relatively short time, and started to offer even more prize money and variations of player selection in fantasy sports teams. 19 Operators then moved to variations of the fantasy league format, ranging from those mimicking actual leagues (lasting an entire season) to those that lasted for just a single day (statistics derived from a single match). 20 The latter came to be widely known as Daily Fantasy Sports ("DFS"). 21 Before long, DFS competitions began to resemble games of chance rather than games that purely required a participant's skilled player selection. For instance, some operators started offering "event" based DFS that offered prize money if a particular event occurred on the playing field. 22 Such outcomes were seemingly far more dependent on luck rather than any form of team selection strategy.
As DFS moved into the gray area between games of skill and games of chance, U.S. lawmakers and gambling regulators started to take notice. 23 Subsequent entry of more fantasy sports operators offering even more myriad forms of fantasy competition forced regulators to consider legislation to curb practices that appeared to be new forms of internet-based gambling. 24 The widely-held definition that most regulators used for gambling was, and continues to be "an agreement between two or more parties to deliberately stake something of value (typically money) with intent to profit from the outcome of an event that is determined wholly, or partially by chance." 25
As such, the current legal climate for fantasy sports law in the U.S. is one largely characterized by uncertainty. This is evidenced by regulations at the state level. As this article will discuss, it appears that state lawmakers remain unconvinced that fantasy sports can be separated from online gambling. Another legal concern is that fantasy sports involve wagering based on sports event outcomes, which is prohibited in all but four American states — Nevada, Oregon, Montana, and Delaware. 26
Legal regulatory responses to fantasy sports in the U.S. is closely monitored across the globe, since sports betting (both legal and illegal) is an

industry estimated to be worth $3 trillion. 27 Three countries in the Asia-Pacific region — Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore — have particular interest in U.S. regulations, because all three have legalized sports betting. Therefore, overlaps between fantasy sports and gambling are of keen interest to these countries. In fact, Australians are arguably some of the world's biggest gamblers, 28 while Hong Kong has

licensing fees that can be utilized to create and train specialist regulators. This is suggested since placing regulatory overview within an existing gambling commission may create policing issues. Take for example, the insider trading practices in September 2015 detected at FanDuel and Draftkings in the U.S., which prompted the American Bar Association to share its concerns on policy issues facing fantasy sports. 197 Such illegal practices to use non-public information on player statistics to trade resembled insider trading in the stock markets. 198 That being said, how could a gambling regulator trained in detecting gaming violations be expected to be equally competent in detecting use of insider information?
There are other peculiarities like the diversity of fantasy games (in terms of diversity of sports leagues beyond the big players), variations within existing sports leagues (e.g., seven-a-side rugby), variations in scoring formats (e.g., fifteen v. twenty-one points badminton), and competition formats (e.g., league v. knockout for football) that can result in an array of sub-issues. In addition, regulators may not have to constantly monitor sports league governing bodies for changes that will have an impact on fantasy sports. Further, in future prosecution, specialist knowledge could naturally be a powerful advantage during investigations, filing charges, and in court as expert testimony.
Despite these foreseeable conflicts in law, almost all U.S. states that have passed fantasy sports bills have given existing gaming commissions (e.g., Nevada, Indiana, Missouri, Pennsylvania) 199 or other agencies the authority to be lead regulators. 200 The author, however, is strongly of the view that such a policy will have detrimental results in enforcement, and thus recommends a separate regulatory agency to oversee fantasy sports.
D. Transition Period to Fantasy Sports Regulation
The knee-jerk reaction to make fantasy sports illegal and halt operations, as initially seen in New York, should be avoided at all costs. FanDuel and Draftkings are companies with large participant pools and strong funding, and were thus available to withstand these kinds of poor enforcement responses while seeking judicial reviews, lobbying lawmakers, and hoping that their customers would return once they re-commenced operations.

Australian, Singaporean, and Hong Kong-based fantasy sports pioneers are nascent and have small domestic markets. These firms will likely not be able to be as resilient as FanDuel and Draftkings to survive an onslaught of short-term minded regulations. Consequently, the industry may suffer if the pioneers have to withdraw, giving other future investors little confidence to launch new services.
As an alternative, regulators attempting to draft new bills should indicate from the onset, that if passed, the law would provide an interim period for current operators to adopt and comply with the new regulations. This window may range from a minimum of twelve months to longer than a year. Such a transitionary period would allow for participants to become informed, educated and properly registered. For the smaller fantasy sports operators, such a window may be crucial to raise new funds in order to comply with licensing requirements that often levy licensing fees and force investments in new technology. At the same time, it allows operators opportunities to engage with regulators while licensing processes take shape.
CONCLUSION
An analysis of U.S. fantasy sports law reveals that although there has been momentum in addressing its legal status, there remains a disconnect between federal and state legislation across the country. 201 Following the passage of the UIGEA in 2006, and with it providing an unintended exemption for fantasy sports, Congress took a backseat on regulating fantasy sports any further. 202 Between 2009 and 2014, the nascent fantasy sports industry in the U.S. operated without clear regulation. 203 But as fantasy sports league participation surged dramatically, a few operators launched fantasy games that bordered more on games of chance. 204 Naturally, gambling commissions took notice and before long lawmakers started investigating.
State prosecutors quickly realized there were no existing laws that could effectively regulate the new industry, which led them to liberally interpret gambling laws. These prosecutors swiftly labelled all fantasy sports as games of chance (rather than skill), and therefore deemed fantasy sports as illegal sports betting. 205 A few states — New York and Nevada — even caused operators to halt their businesses in 2015. 206 When the industry and the millions of fantasy sports participants protested, lawmakers started introducing bills to

provide clarity for regulators. 207 Despite this, the progress of bills in state legislatures is discouraging. As of March 2018, more than thirty-two states are without laws regarding fantasy sports. 208 Only eighteen states have passed some form of legislation. 209
Nevertheless, the lead taken by U.S. lawmakers holds many strategic lessons for regulators in markets where sports betting is legal, all of which will very likely see growth in fantasy sports participation in the next five to ten years. 210 As discussed, these three markets are in the Asia-Pacific region, notably Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. 211 All three offer differing context related to sports betting. Australia is the stand out as sports betting is a large wagering market. 212 Further, Australia has recently grappled with regulating fantasy sports. 213 Singapore has taken recent steps to legalize online sports betting, with a new law that has a built in mechanism to tackle future fantasy sports issues. 214 Hong Kong is the clear outlier. 215 A super hub for illegal sports betting, Hong Kong gambling regulators have openly announced they will not deter or block illegal overseas internet gambling websites from offering services to local residents. 216 The result has been a thriving legal and illegal betting market. 217 Further the Hong Kong Jockey Club is one of the world largest sports betting operators. 218 Based on an analysis of the U.S. regulatory experience on fantasy sports, this article offered four strategic approaches for these three markets to appropriately address the issues of regulating fantasy sports.
Finally, the author wishes to recognize that fantasy sports regulation in Asia is still at its infancy. 219 Nonetheless, Australian and Singaporean based fantasy sports operators have targeted China and India as their next big markets. 220 The sheer number of possible participation in these two countries will require well drafted legislation and equally robust regulation. Furthermore, the levels of internet penetration rates (as well as broadband speed connectivity) in Asia is steadily rising, and together with new digital platforms,

fantasy sports in Asia may see an even more dramatic growth than that experienced in the U.S. markets. 221 With this context, in the near term, responses in Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong will be closely monitored, and along with U.S. regulations will serve as useful references for future drafting of Asian fantasy sports law.

Volcano, CA 95689
Minutes of Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors December 19, 2017
1. Call to order and reading of the mission statement.
The meeting was called to order by President Jan Hewitt at 7: 00 p.m. and the Mission Statement read.
2. Establish quorum-roll call
Those in attendance were President Jan Hewitt, Director JoAnne McLachlan, and Director Kelly McGee. A quorom was established.
Vice President Cathy Koos Breazeal was absent as she was at a training course in Oakdale, CA.
Also in attendance: Tim Worny, Treasurer, and Terry Bolyard, Secretary
Public attendees: Jackie and Gary Vaughn, John and Carol Asmus, Herb Goldblum, Glen Plant, and Dan McGee.
Absent: Chief John King
3. Public Comments: Jackie Vaughn addressed the Board. Jackie stated she had received an email asking if the error to the website regarding the opening for a Board Director and the deadline for submitting a letter of interest was her mistake and not at the direction of the Board.
Jackie went on to state the following:
When Board Director Brandon Green resigned, the notice of a vacancy was posted on the website. Jackie said she believed this was in September or October. The wording in the posting stated closing date to submit a letter of interest (November 20) and that applicants needed to attend the November 27 Board meeting. That posting was on the Board of Directors page on the website.
One letter of interest was received from an interested applicant on November 2.
On November 27, 2017, the regular Board meeting was called to order by President Jan Hewitt. The one interested applicant was in attendance at the meeting. However, due to the fact two board members absent, a quorum could not be established and no business could be conducted. The meeting was adjourned.
On November 28, Jackie stated she was notified that a quorum was not established at the November 27 meeting and there would be a special meeting on December 1.
Jackie went on to say that she was asked to post a notice on the website that there would be a special meeting on December 1. Jackie changed just the date of November 27 to December 1. She did not change the wording of the original posting. However, the posting for all interested parties to submit a letter of interest by November 20 and attend the November 27
meeting was on the Board of Directors page of the website and that wording was not changed. Readers of the website were instructed to go to the Board of Directors page.
On November 30 Jackie was advised there was another applicant for the board position. At that time, Jackie changed the wording on the website to read there was a meeting on December 1 and at that time she removed the wording of submitting a letter of interest or any interested parties attend the December 1 meeting as the application period had closed.
Jackie stated emphatically that no one told her to change the wording, she made that decision as she had made the error.
At this point Jackie wanted everyone in attendance at the December 19 meeting to know she had made a mistake and she corrected the mistake. She stated no Board member is, was, or should be held responsible for her error to the website. There was no ill-will or malice intended. She simply corrected her error.
Jackie then stated she had considered withdrawing as the webmaster but was reconsidering.
John Asmus asked if she would please reconsider as Jackie has been doing the website for quite some time and this was an isolated incident. Jackie stated she didn't want to be attacked again for making a mistake. She will give the matter further thought. The Board reitterated John's request.
4. Discussion/Action Items:
4a) Resolution to Accept Second 50/50 Grant. Jan Hewitt read the Resolution to Accept the Second 50/50 Grant. JoAnne McLachlan moved to accept the Resolution as read. Kelly McGee seconded. The motion passed with three yeas and one absent.
4b) Reopen Board Application Period. Jan Hewitt spoke with Greta McElroy, the County Elections Officer about the issue regarding the website error. Greta stated she could see no misconduct but suggested that perhaps the Board would want to reopen the application date to smooth the feathers of those who were upset about the mistake.
JoAnne McLachlan moved the application period be reopened. Kelly McGee seconded. The motion passed with three yeas and one absent.
Letters of interest are to be submitted by January 18, 2018, and interested parties are to attend the January 22, 2018 Board meeting.
Jackie will post the new dates on the website. She also suggested putting the posting in the Ledger. Postings will be put up at Station 151 and Station 152. Glen Plant also suggested fliers be put out in the auxiliary "flier boxes". The Board thanked him for volunteering to do this.
Before the Regular meeting adjourned, JoAnne McLachlan advised that she has been granted the SDLF Scholarship. She will be attending the Special District Leadership Academy in February.
5. Adjournment: The regular meeting was adjourned at 7:47 p.m.
6. Next Regular Board Meeting: January 22, 2018, 7:00

Mr Francois Arbault The European Commission
Task Force for the Preparation and Conduct of the Negotiations with the United Kingdom under Article 50 TEU
15 th June 2018
JOINT STATEMENT
PROPOSED HANDLING OF PENDING EU TRADE MARK APPLICATIONS
Dear Mr Arbault,
This statement is sent on behalf of all the user associations identified below and their members. The European Commission Draft Withdrawal Agreement of 19 th March 2018 includes a substantial section on Intellectual Property, much of which is greatly welcomed. However, the provisions of Article 55, which relates to pending European Union trade mark applications, is a cause of concern.
Under Article 55, the owner of a European Union trade mark application which is still pending at the end of the transition period shall be entitled to file a corresponding UK trade mark application within 9 months of the end of the transition period, retaining the filing/priority date of the EU application. This approach has significant disadvantages compared to the main alternative that a number of our associations had proposed, namely that pending EU trade mark applications continue to be examined by the EUIPO and give rise to a corresponding UK trade mark registration upon grant. For example, see paragraph 4.4.4 in CITMA's position paper and paragraph 5 in the MARQUES position paper.
The disadvantages of the approach set out in Article 55 include:
- Increased cost to business – owners of pending EU trade mark applications will need to incur additional filing, examination and (if objections are raised in official actions) prosecution costs. Both parties to opposition proceedings relating to those applications will likewise incur additional costs.
- Increased complexity – the need to make a decision on refiling in the UK and taking up the offered priority option will involve additional legal and management time.
- Increased delay and uncertainty for applicants – there will be applications awaiting their final stages whose owners had successfully overcome objections raised by the EUIPO (potentially after many rounds of legal argument, submission of substantial evidence and/or appeals up to the CJEU) and/or successfully defended their application against one or more oppositions (perhaps also appealed to all levels). Such applicants would have the uncertainty and delay of having their new UK application face the same registry objection(s) and opposition(s) all over again – or potentially new ones - and have them subject to multiple appeals again. In addition, applications that had not faced registry objection or opposition but which had not completed their registration formalities by exit would face further delay and uncertainty from re-examination by the UKIPO and possible opposition(s) whereas that was, in practice, no longer a threat for the EU application. In all cases, the applicant may otherwise have been days or weeks away from securing protection throughout the EU, including the UK. Such delay would be all the more frustrating if the opposition(s) to that EUTM had not relied on any UK prior rights.
- Increased uncertainty and delay for opponents – there may be one or more oppositions against the EU application which, at the time of exit, were either under appeal or still subject to a possible appeal. The opponent may have been successful at all stages but would have to decide whether to oppose the new UK application. They face the uncertainty of the outcome of that new opposition and the further delay of knowing whether the right will be registered in the UK or not and how broadly. Again, certainty on that could otherwise have been days or weeks away.
- Increased risk - the imposition of a 9 month deadline introduces a risk that owners of pending EU trade mark applications will miss the deadline, losing the earlier date of the EU application (potentially very damaging). This is particularly so for applicants that do not have professional representation.
- Duplication of legal proceedings and unfair "second chances" – as noted above in relation to both applicant and opponent, oppositions previously dealt with at length and after one or more appeals could well have to be repeated as parallel opposition proceedings all over again in the UK. Parties could take advantage of this by introducing new evidence and arguments that, given the stage of appeal in the EU proceedings, could not otherwise be introduced.
- Inconsistent decisions – where an opposition against the EU application relied on prior rights covering both the UK and EU27 Member States (whether national rights or an earlier EUTM that is being divided pursuant to 50(1) of the Draft Withdrawal Agreement), the duplicated proceedings referred to above give rise to a risk of inconsistent decisions, despite the fact that the right opposed and the right(s) relied on may have been identical (both being derived from EU rights).
- Fraud – the proposed approach offers an opportunity for fraudsters. It is highly likely that owners of pending EU trade mark applications will receive fraudulent offers to secure their rights in the UK, as currently experienced with trade mark renewals. It is also a material risk that opportunists will
automate a process by which they can identify the pending EU applications that were not re-filed within the 9-month window and themselves file a new UK application the day (or very shortly) after it ends. Whilst those UK applications may be opposable at the UKIPO on the grounds of bad faith, owners of those EU applications may succumb to demands for payment in order to avoid the uncertainty and costs of such UK oppositions.
All of these disadvantages are likely to be particularly onerous to small and medium size businesses, which may lack the legal, financial and management resources to adequately negotiate these hurdles.
Whilst we understand that Article 55 has been agreed by the UK and the European Commission at the negotiators' level, we would urge that both parties reconsider their position on this issue and give serious consideration to the alternative approach. This would mean one set of proceedings at an EU level would determine whether or not there would be a comparable UK registration. This is also consistent with Article 50(3) of the Draft Withdrawal Agreement, which is also provisionally agreed. That envisages a situation whereby the outcome of a cancellation or revocation action that was pending before the EUIPO at exit will determine whether the comparable UK registration is cancelled or revoked. The derogation applies if the basis for the attack does not apply in the UK (it is presently unclear who determines that and how this is declared, which needs to be clarified). Something similar could be derogated in relation to oppositions. We do not understand why a pending cancellation action needs to be treated differently to a pending opposition or pending examination process.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this and other matters still to be resolved with the Commission. We much appreciated the opportunity to discuss such matters with the TF50 team at the meeting held in Brussels on 13 th June 2017. We wish to encourage the Commission to hold further such meetings.
Yours sincerely

POSTAL SERVICE
39 CFR Part 111
Folded Self-Mailers and Unenveloped Mailpieces
AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Postal Service proposes to revise the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM[supreg]) 201.3.14 to provide standards for creating folded self-mailers (FSM) and other unenveloped mailpieces such as forms, statements, and official notices that will improve processing of these pieces on automated Postal processing equipment.
DATES: We must receive your comments on or before September 14, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Mail or hand-deliver written comments to the manager, Product Classification, U.S. Postal Service[supreg], 475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Room 4446, Washington, DC 20260-5015. Interested parties may review and photocopy all written comments at USPS[supreg] Headquarters Library, 475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., 11th Floor N, Washington, DC between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Email comments that contain the name and address of the commenter, may be sent to: mailingstandards@usps.gov, with a subject line of ``FSM.'' Faxed comments will not be accepted.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Vance at 202-268-7595, or Susan Thomas at 202-268-8069.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this proposed rule, the Postal Service defines letter-sized FSM, provides detailed standards about the basic elements of all FSM letter-sized pieces, and introduces ``panels'' as a basic element for constructing FSMs. Additionally, optional creative elements that are currently found in FSM designs, but are not defined in the DMM, are added.
History: To improve the quality of FSMs, the USPS, in collaboration with the mailing industry, implemented a series of tests designed to identify the characteristics of FSMs that could be processed successfully on automated letter-sorting machines. Industry members, recommended through the Mailers Technical Advisory Council (MTAC), Postal Customer Councils (PCC) and the Business Service Network, were asked to provide sample mailpieces for testing. A wide array of mail owners, mail service providers, and vendors participated. The collaboration resulted in a better understanding of the capabilities and needs of the mailing community and enabled the Postal Service to align terms commonly used in the mailing industry with those in the proposed standards. Working together, the Postal Service attempted to strike a balance between innovation and mailpiece machinability.
The outcome of this collaboration is a streamlined framework of proposed standards that aligns with existing letter-mail standards, provides specific information, and clearly defines the characteristics of additional design elements for mailers who create FSM mailpieces. Folded self-mailer maximum dimensions and weights are now proposed to align with other unenveloped letter standards. The dimensions will better delineate envelope and oversized cards when compared to unenveloped-type mail. Improved standards that are clear and easy to understand will encourage consistency and level-set the playing field minimizing delays in production and will help the Postal Service to control costs.
Postal letter sorting equipment is capable of processing letters at the rate of 10 pieces per second. When prepared according to current standards and processed at that speed, some FSM designs have higher rates of damage and cause jams in letter sorting equipment that result in diverting those pieces to flat sorters or manual handling. Both alternate processes are time consuming and costly. This proposed rule provides standards for FSM and other unenveloped letter designs so those mailpieces can better withstand the rigors of letter automation processing.
Testing: The collaborative testing focused on the primary characteristics of folded self-mailers. Four characteristics proved to be the most important--dimensions, basis weight of the paper that forms the [[Page 50439]] outer sheet, closure method, and closure placement.
Testing revealed a strong correlation between higher damage, equipment jam rates, and lower throughput as the basis weight of the paper decreased or as the size of the FSM increased. The closure method and placement of closures greatly affected machinability. Continuous glue lines were determined to be the optimal method of sealing a FSM. Use of a continuous glue line has been severely limited in the mailing industry, because the existing equipment used by many is not currently capable of producing continuous glue lines. As an alternative, the Postal Service introduced elongated glue lines (dashes) and patterns of glue spots to simulate glue lines. Testing also revealed that a one tab closure produces an insufficient seal, so we propose that two or more tabs be required depending on the design and total weight of the mailpiece.
Other factors that affected automation compatibility were:
* Mailpiece thickness
* Total piece weight
* Fold orientation
* Thickness of attachments or enclosures within a mailpiece
* Flap size, style, and orientation
* Number of panels
Panels are created when sheets of paper are folded--each two-sided section created by folding is called a panel. The number of folds determines the number of panels within the mailpiece. In addition to these primary characteristics, the following optional design elements were also considered during testing:
* Loose inserts secured in pockets.
* Attachments to the interior and exterior of the mailpiece.
* Die-cut elements.
* Perforations.
The aggregate data generated from testing was analyzed using Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodologies to develop a framework of potential minimum and maximum standards. The initial framework was based on optimized standards represented as 10 basic categories of FSMs. This framework was provided to the participants of the FSM study and meetings were conducted to begin the refinement process and develop a draft of proposed revised DMM standards. This collaborative process spanned six months.
In addition to these meetings, the USPS reached out to others in the design and production segments of the industry to gain more specific knowledge and insight into their capabilities and needs. Based on participant feedback, the Postal Service restructured the original framework, aligned break-points, and crafted proposed standards beginning with a basic folded self-mailer profile. Additional optional creative elements were then incorporated to provide more design flexibility.
As the Postal Service worked through refinement of the initial proposed framework, built on Lean Six Sigma methodology, an attempt was made to find the balance between creativity and machinability that also allowed additional design options for FSM. The updated standards will be mutually beneficial.
A Folded Self-Mailer Reference Material document was developed as supporting information to this proposed rule. The document summarizes information of the proposed standards, includes illustrations that demonstrate some of the options for fold style, and includes closure methods and optional elements that may be incorporated into a basic folded self-mailer letter. The document can be found at: https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=FSM.

3.14 Folded Self-Mailers
[Delete current text of 3.14 in its entirety and replace with the following:]
3.14.1 Definition: A folded self-mailer is formed of panels that are created when one or more unbound sheets of paper are folded together and sealed to make a letter-size mailpiece. The number of panels is determined by the number of sheets in the mailpiece and the number of times the sheets are folded.
3.14.2 Size
Folded self-mailers are:
a. Length: A minimum of 5 inches and a maximum of

2. Over 1 ounce: 120 lb paper sealed with glue under 3.14.4b, or two 2-inch tabs under 3.14.4a1 and 3.14.4a2 or three 1\1/2\ inches tabs under 3.14.4a3.
d. Optional Design Elements: Loose enclosures and attachments. For folded self-mailers that have loose enclosures as described in 3.14.8 or attachments as described in 3.14.9, the following applies:
1. Up to 1 ounce: 80 lb paper sealed with glue under 3.14.4b or two 1\1/2\ inches tabs under 3.14.4a1 and 3.14.4a2.
2. Over 1 ounce: 100 lb paper sealed with glue under 3.14.4b, or two 2-inch tabs under 3.14.4a1 and 3.14.4a2 or three 1\1/2\ inches tabs under 3.14.4a3.
3.14.6 Die Cut Elements
Folded self-mailers may be produced with two distinct types of die cut elements in the exterior panels: address windows or die-cut reveal openings used to draw attention to important information within the mailpiece. Die cut openings may not be used to create die cut punched holes (that exist in the same location on all layers and panels so that there is an opening through the entire mailpiece). Prepare die cut elements as follows:
a. Die cut address windows (used to convey address information) must conform to all standards for window envelopes under 601.6.4 and meet the following additional conditions:
1. Windows may be up to 2 inches high by 4 inches long.
2. When an address window appears on a mailpiece, no other die cut shapes may be made on the exterior panels.
b. Die cut reveal openings (used to reveal the contents of the mailpiece), are:
1. Limited to two on only one of the external panels.
2. Either circular with a 2-inch maximum diameter or rectangular and a maximum of 1\1/2\ inches high by 2 inches long with slightly rounded \1/4\ inch radius corners.
3. Placed at least 1\1/2\ inches from all edges of the mailpiece if on the addressed side.
4. Placed at least 5 inches from the leading edge and 1\1/2\ inches from all other edges if on the non-addressed side.
5. Positioned at least 1\1/2\ inches apart when two or more die cut openings are used. [[Page 50441]]
c. A single \1/2\ inch semi-circular die cut thumb notch, used in conjunction with an opening device, may be on the trailing edge of the addressed or nonaddressed outer panel.
3.14.7 Perforated Strips and Panes
Folded self-mailers may be prepared with strips or panes that are pulled open to reveal the contents. These design elements are placed on the unaddressed side of the mailpiece and may be rectangular, circular, or oval shaped. Perforations, a row of small holes punched in a sheet of paper so that a part can be torn easily, are used to create the openings. They may be pull-open strips, pop-out, or pop-open panes subject to the following prepared requirements:
a. Two perforated lines creating a pull open strip must be parallel and spaced at least \1/2\ inch apart. Position perforated strips parallel to the height (the short side) of the mailpiece at least 5 inches from the leading and 2 inches from the trailing edge. Position perforated strips parallel to the length (the long side) of the mailpiece at least 1 inch from the top. Perforations have a 2mm cut (max)/4mm tie (min) ratio or a 3mm cut (max)/3mm tie (min) ratio.
b. Pop-out panes have perforations around the entire perimeter. The full perimeter of the pop-out is a maximum of 4 inches long by 4 inches high, and:
1. Have panes placed at least 1 inch from any edge.
2. Are 2mm cut (max)/2mm tie (min) ratio.
3. When using two panes, must be spaced at least 1 inch apart.
4. May not have any address elements appear in perforated openings.
c. Pop-open panes have perforations on three sides and meet the following conditions:
1. The full perimeter of the pull-open panel is a maximum of 4 inches long by 4 inches high.
2. If prepared with multiple panes, they must be spaced at least 1 inch apart.
3. Panes must be placed at least 1 inch from all edges.
4. Perforation patterns have 2 mm cut (max)/2 mm tie (min) ratio.
d. Perforated panes may not be on mailpieces with die-cut design elements or on any mailpiece made of newsprint.
3.14.8 Loose Enclosures
Loose enclosures included within a folded self-mailer must be made of paper under the following conditions:
a. Must be secured within a folded self-mailer to ensure containment and prevent excessive shift during processing.
b. May be inserted in an interior pocket or secured by any other method that prevents excessive shift during processing. Pockets are not counted as panels.
c. Enclosures are fully covered by the outer panels of the mailpiece.
d. Folded self-mailers with die-cut openings may contain enclosures if the inserted material is larger than the die cut opening.
e. Enclosed material does not exceed the maximum thickness of:
1. 0.05 inch thick for weights up to 1 ounce.
2. 0.09 inch thick for weights over 1 ounce.
3.14.9 Attachments
Attachments may be secured on the outside of a folded self-mailer under 3.13. Attachments may be secured within folded self-mailers under the following conditions:
a. The attachment is affixed to an inside panel and secured it at least \1/2\ inch from any edge.
b. The attached material may not exceed a maximum thickness of:
1. 0.05 inch thick for weights up to 1 ounce.
2. 0.09 inch thick for weights over 1 ounce.
c. Multiple attachments must remain nearly uniform in thickness.
d. When multiple attachments are affixed to separate panels in stacked alignment, the combined thickness of the attachments must be equal to or less than the maximum thickness.
e. When multiple attachments are affixed adjacent to each other across the length of a mailpiece, the thickest attachment must be equal to or less than the maximum thickness.
f. Quarter-folded self-mailer may only have one internal attachment not exceeding 0.012 inch thick. The attachment must be secured at least 0.5 inch from all edges.
3.14.10 Addressing
Printing addresses in a center or left-justified position within the optical character reader (OCR) area under 2.1 is recommended when folded self-mailers are prepared with uncoated paper.
3.15 Unenveloped Mailpieces
3.15.1 Lunch-Bag Style
Lunch-bag style mailpieces consists of two symmetrical horizontal panels sealed together along top and bottom edges. Lunch-bag style mailpieces must meet the following conditions:
a. Join panels using \1/8\ (0.125) inch continuous glue lines.
b. If flaps are used, they must be a minimum of at least 1\1/2\ inches wide and created as inner flaps adhered at the leading and trailing edges to the panel from which the flap is formed.
c. All paper weight and sealing requirements in 3.14.5c and 3.14.5d must be met.
3.15.2 Tear-Off Strips
When mailpieces have tear-off opening devices on the leading or trailing edge, the unfolded edges must be sealed with an adhesive (glue) or by a cohesive method. Unlike glue that will adhere to any surface, a cohesive seal requires two fixative patterns placed on top of each other to create a bond. The top-sealed edges may have a perforated horizontal line no lower than \9/16\ (0.5625) inch from the top that joins the leading and trailing edge perforations. Mailpieces with sealed sides must meet the following conditions.
a. Tear off strips may be up to \9/16\ inch (0.5625) wide.
b. Tear lines (single lines of perforations) on pieces that weigh one ounce or less, must be 1 mm cut (max)/1 mm tie (min) ratio.
c. Tear lines (single lines of perforations) on pieces that weigh more than one ounce must be 1 mm cut (max)/2 mm tie (min) ratio. * * * * *
We will publish an appropriate amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect these changes if our proposal is adopted.

Self-Help Groups in Empowering Women: Case study of selected SHGs and NHGs
Jaya S. Anand*
1. Introduction
In the early decades of planning problems of women were looked upon as problems of social welfare, rather than of development. The drawback of the welfare approach was that it did nothing to eliminate the social discrimination against and subordination of women. In almost all plans for poverty alleviation and social change, disadvantaged women became a 'target' in developmental activities rather than a group to be co-opted as active participants (Beijing Conference, 1996). Since 1970, policy makers and academicians started thinking as to how development programmes could be linked to poor women. Women issues are development issues and by-passing them in development programmes means leaving almost half of human resources outside development intervention (CIRDAP Development Digest, 1998). Issues of poverty among women are quite distinct and complicated. Their general poverty conditions, morbidity, lack of food, drinking water, and sanitation facilities are some of the major issues that need attention. Female members of a poor household are often worse off than its male members because of gender discrimination in the distribution of food and other entitlements within the household. 'Increasingly poverty has a woman's face' (Human Development Report, 1995). The Human Development Reports of UNDP from 1990 onwards attest to the fact of growing feminisation of poverty.
Review of policy approaches to women
"Nothing, arguably, is as important today in the political economy of development as an adequate recognition of political, economic, and social participation and leadership of women" (Amartya Sen, 1999). While a large part of the world continues to look at women's issues in terms of paternalism and well-being, the concept of women's empowerment in the social, political, and economic order as a pre-requisite of human development is hardly given the priority that it deserves. Throughout the Third World, particularly in the past 15 years, there has been a proliferation of policies, programmes, and projects designed to assist lowincome women. This concern for low-income women's needs has coincided historically with recognition of their important role in development. Since the 1950's, many different intervention strategies have been formulated to address women's needs which reflect changes in macro-level economic and social policy approaches to Third World Development, as well as in state policy towards women.

The welfare approach introduced in the 1950's and followed through the 1960's may be considered the earliest policy approach concerned with women in developing countries (Moser, 1993). Here, women are seen as passive recipients of development, rather than participants in the development process. The reproductive role of women is recognised and policy seeks to meet practical gender needs through that role by top-down handouts of food aid, measures against malnutrition, and family planning. As such it did not include women in participatory planning processes.
However by 1970, the limitations and the critique of the welfare approach became obvious and resulted in the development of a number of alternative approaches based on equity, poverty alleviation, efficiency, and empowerment. These approaches are not entirely mutually exclusive and have been categorised, in general as the women in development (WID) approach.
The original WID approach was the equity approach, introduced during the 1976-'85 UN Women's Decade. Its purpose is to gain equity for women in the development process. Women are seen as active participants in development. It seeks to meet strategic gender needs through direct state intervention giving political and economic autonomy to women, and thus reducing inequality with men. It acknowledges that they must be 'brought into' the development process through access to employment and the market place.
However, equity programmes encountered problems from the outset. The lack of a single unified indicator of social status and of baseline information about women's economic, social, and political status meant that there were no standards against which'success' could be measured (USAID, 1978). Politically the majority of development agencies were hostile to the programmes because of their intention to meet not only practical gender needs but also strategic gender needs whose very success depended on an implicit redistribution of power.
The anti-poverty approach, the second WID approach, the 'toned down' version of equity was also introduced in the 1970's. This approach to women focuses mainly on their productive role, on the basis that poverty alleviation and the promotion of balanced economic growth require the increased productivity of women in low-income households. It aims to increase the employment and income-generating options of poor women through better access to productive resources. It was soon realised, however, that though the approach might meet practised gender needs by augmenting their income, unless employment leads to greater autonomy, it would not meet strategic gender needs. Moreover, the income-generating programmes implemented under the assumption that women have free time, often succeed only by extending their working day and increasing their burden.
The purpose of the efficiency approach – the now predominant WID approach – is to ensure that development is made efficient and effective through women's economic contribution. Women's participation is equated with equity for women. It seeks to meet practical gender needs. Experience illustrates the fact that the efficiency approach only meets practical gender needs at the cost of longer working hours and increased unpaid work. In most cases this approach failed to reach any strategic gender needs.
The empowerment approach is the most recent and is aimed at empowering women through greater self-reliance and internal strength. It seeks to meet strategic gender needs indirectly through bottom-up mobilisation around practical gender needs. When the first welfare approach recognises only the reproductive role of women and utilises women's organisation as a top-down means of delivering services, the empowerment approach recognises the triple role of women and seeks through bottom-up women's organisations to raise women's consciousness to challenge their subordination. A diverse range of women's organisation including Self-Help Groups (SHGs) have developed in this context conveying a multitude of issues and purposes.
The concept of self-help group
Experience in many countries demonstrates that poor women make investments wisely and earn returns (Human Resource Development, 1995). However, the flow of financial assistance to them was too marginal, if at all, to enable them to cross the poverty line.The need to create a grassroots organisational base to enable women to come together, to analyse their issues and problems themselves, and to fulfil their needs was strongly advocated. In fact, experience shows that some of the successful 'group-based participatory programmes' have made significant improvement in the conditions of living poor women. The concept of self-help groups gained significance, especially after 1976 when Prof. Mohammed Yunus of Bangladesh began experimenting with micro-credit and women SHGs. The strategy made a quiet revolution in Bangladesh in poverty eradication 'by empowering the poor women'.
SHGs are small informal associations created for the purpose of enabling members to reap economic benefit out of mutual help, solidarity, and joint responsibility. The benefits include mobilisation of savings and credit facilities and pursuit of group enterprise activities. The group-based approach not only enables the poor to accumulate capital by way of small savings but also helps them to get access to formal credit facilities (Shylendra, 1998). These groups by way of joint liability enable the poor to overcome the

by other members belonging to the mainstream population.
The performance of the tribal group was very poor and its repayment record was dismal. It expects the government and the other agencies to provide to them all facilities free of cost. As is the case in Orissa, (The Hindu, 3 November 2000) where the group concept has transformed the lives of the tribesfolk, voluntary agencies should be able to play a significant role in improving and developing the living conditions of the tribesfolk in Kerala also. A better alternative is to form groups, create awareness with the help of animators of Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP) by converging the services and resources of Scheduled Tribes Department and various other departments.
However, the concept of group activity is gradually catching up. Beyond financial intermediation, SHGs can and should bring about drastic changes in the lives of the poor. It has been clearly established that delivering credit alone may not produce the desired impact. The supporting services and structures through which credit is delivered, ranging from group formation and training to awareness-raising and a wide range of other supporting measures are critical to make the impact of group activity strong and sustainable.

ABSTRACT
Effects of different types and levels of organic manures on the yield and yield components of garlic (ex- Kofa var) was investigated. Two experiments were conducted under irrigation at the Institute for Agriculture Research (I.A.R) Kadawa in the Sudan Savanna zone of Nigeria during 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 (Nov- Mar) dry seasons. The treatments consisted of five levels (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 tons/ha) of three types of organic manures (poultry droppings (P.D), farm yard manure (FYM) and cow dung (CD) laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. Yield parameters studied included cured bulb weight, average bulb diameter, average number of cloves/bulb, average weight of cloves and cured bulb yield (kg/ha). The results showed Significant (P=0.5) effect of all organic manures with highest yield values obtained from poultry droppings, then cow dung and farmyard manure respectively. Increasing levels of all applied manures from 010 tons/ha significantly increased all yield parameters assessed. Thus for optimum yield of garlic at Kadawa, the use of 7.5-10 tons/ha of poultry dropping could be recommended. Keywords: Poultry droppings (PD), Farm yard manure (FYM), Cow dung (CD), Kadawa, Sudan Savanna, Garlic, Irrigation, yield and yield components.
INTRODUCTION
Garlic is the second most widely cultivated species of the genus. "Allium after Allium cepa (Huber, 2003). It is believed to have originated from central Asia and spread to all parts of the world and is widely grown in India, Philippines, China, Ethiopia, Kenya and Rome. It is used both as staple food and medicine for several ailments (Bodnar et al., 1997).
In Nigeria, the production of garlic is concentrated in the Northern Guinea and Sudan Savanna ecological zones, where it is mainly grown under irrigation in the dry seasons. Its diverse distribution can be seen by its diverse common names in different societies. It is called "Tafarnuwa" in Hausa, "Saum" in Arabic, "Aglio" in Italy, "Chesnoc" in Russia, "Lahsan in Hindi, "Ail" in French, "Ayu" in Yoruba, etc. (Aliyu, 2006).
The scope of increasing its production by bringing more areas under cultivation is very limited, because it is grown only in the dry season when other major crops occupy most of the cultivated land. Rainfall is very scanty during the dry season and frequent irrigation increases its successful production (Islami et al., 2007).
Although, both manure and chemical fertilizers have a potential role in the growth and development of crops, indiscriminate use of fertilizers changes the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil, pollutes the environment and creates health hazards by its toxic residues (Borabash and Kochina, 1987). Manures supply all essential nutrients as well as improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil and may help boost the production of garlic to peasant farmers. Moreover, despite the ranking of garlic as one of the most important medicinal crops in the world, the present production level do not meet the demand of the teeming population and there's virtually little literature available in Nigeria with reference to the effects of sole organic manure on the growth and yield of garlic (Allium sativum L). The objective of the study was to determine the effects of different types and levels of organic manure on the yield and yield components of Garlic (Allium sativum L.).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Field experiments were conducted during the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 dry seasons at the Institute for Agricultural Research, Irrigation Station Kadawa (11º 3a 'N, 08 02' E, 500m above Sea level) in the Sudan Savanna zone of Nigeria. The performance of a local variety of garlic (ex- Kofa) was evaluated using 3 different types of organic manure (Poultry dropping, cow dung and farm yard) applied at 0,2.5,5.0,7.5 and 10.0 tons/ha laid and out in a randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. Mature garlic bulbs were selected and split in to cloves, large and medium sized cloves were selected and soaked overnight to remove scale leaves and enhance good sprouting. The field was prepared and marked out into fifteen basins of 2×1.5m. The gross plot size was 3m having 10 rows spaced at 15cm apart, an intra-row spacing of 10cm and the net plot consist of 6 inner rows of 2cm length. Prior to planting, single doses of the three different types of organic manure used at the rate that provide 0,2.5,5.0,7.5 and 10.0 tons/ha were incorporated into the basins by broadcasting method per treatment allotted to a basing with 0 as control.
The basins were pre- irrigated a day to planting. Planting was done manually on the prepared plots. General irrigations were fallowed at weekly intervals for proper seedling establishment and stopped two weeks to harvest to allow for uniform maturity. Weeding was done manually by hand pulling and onion hoe at 3 and 6 weeks after planting (WAP).
Sample of soils were taken from the field prior to planting at 0-15 and 15-30cm depths, bulked and analyzed for physico-chemical properties using standard procedures (Table 6). Data on average cured bulb weight, average bulb diameter, number of cloves/bulb and average weight/cloves were taken using five (5) randomly sampled matured air-cured bulbs per plot after harvest. Weights of all bulbs per plot were taken and recorded in grams and subsequently converted to kilograms per hectare. Cured bulb weight/plot(bulb yield/ha) was taken and recorded per plot after harvest and air- curing for 2 weeks, expressed in grams and kilograms per hectare. Data taken were analyzed using ANOVA as described by Snedor and Cochran, (1967) and means were separated using Duncan's multiple range test (Duncan, 1955).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Effect of Different Types of Organic Manure on Yield and Yield Components of Garlic
Application of all types of organic manure significantly increased all yield parameters assessed. Poultry droppings produced statistically the heaviest cured bulbs while no significant differences were observed between cow dung and farm yard manure in the two years of study and the combined analysis (Table 1). Larger bulb diameter was produced with the application of poultry droppings than cow dung and farm yard manure in both years and combined years (Table 2). Similarly, more number of cloves were recorded in poultry dropping treated plants as compared to cow dung and farm yard manure which were statistically at par in 2007/2008 season and combined analysis (Table3), though in 2008/2009 season, all types of applied organic manures produced statistically similar mean number of cloves. Heavier cloves were produced by poultry dropping than cow dung and farm yard manure in all seasons and combined years. However, in 2008/2009 season cow dung and farm yard manure were observed to be statistically at par (Table 4). Throughout the two-year trials and the combined analysis, poultry droppings produced statistically the highest cured bulb yield per hectare than cow dung, which as statistically superior to farm yard manure (Table 5).Yield and yield characters observed responded positively and most of them significantly to all types of organic manures used, at P=0.05 levels. Highest bulb yield and yield characters were obtained with respect to poultry dropping manure in all seasons and combined analysis. The increase in all yield and yield parameters especially with application of poultry dropping could be due to its ability in the improvement of soil structure, increased exchange sites thus increase photosynthesis leading to greater cell division, elongation and differentiation and finally body growth as reported by Sale et al., (2003). Similar results were obtained by Babaji (1996) and Miko (1999) by the application of 150kg /ha of N along with light irrigation. Akoun (2004), also confirmed that manure increases the nutrient status of a soil which leads to increase in yield.
Effect of Different Levels/ Rates of Organic Manure on Yield and Yield Components of Garlic
Application of various levels of organic manure produced positive and significant effect on yield and yield characters assessed. Maximum values of cured bulb weights,bulb diameter, number of cloves, weight of cloves and bulb yield per hectare were recorded with the applications of 10 tons /ha of all organic manure types (Table 1,2,3,4, and 5), though there were no statistical differences between 7.5 and 10.0 tons/ha of organic

After seeing today's newsletter, I remembered I had these pics saved as jpg files. The one w ith the Riverside Railroad Station and the Mianus River and the boathouses is a bit of a mystery to me. All I can figure out is that the RR Station used to be nearer the river. I'm w ondering if the location of the boathouse on the far side of the bridge is near the end of Miltiades Avenue, w here Barrie Van B. Richmond now lives and John Giddings and Robin Bruk grew up. I am open to suggestions as to the exact location of the Riverside Harbor view - just before the Yacht Club??? Not great resolution, but a slightly different view of the building you so admire. I believe that this building w as destroyed by fire and the current club house w as built as a replacement. The area w here the building sits, is now a kind of side law n.

I believe "At the Cross Roads" is now the overgrow n wooded area in Cos Cob betw een Indian Field Road and Cross Lane, w here Sachem Lane is now. The stone arches and paths are still there. I saw this "park" for the first time just 2 w eeks ago - all the snow made it easier to spot. It is behind the commercial building on the Post Road where the How ard Johnson's (and later Louis Sherry) w as. It is some kind of "nature preserve" or so a sign says.

Okay, Gang, w e are not going to go through that old ruse of Gene climbing the steep stairw ay to the Attic. But w e w ill let you in on the fact that Gene doesn't live in Greenw ich, the w ay the Header above states. He is actually w ay up the coast northeast of here in a tow n on Cape Cod. Now I don't know if the famous attic is in the house in Greenw ich or the one in Massachusetts, but I can say that the collection continues to astonish me in it's vast and all encompassing variety. This edition's trip takes us through the back of Greenw ich and dow n to the Shore for a look at some of the Great homes, historic sites and w ayside Inns.
In the event that you can't remember any of these buildings or some look familiar, but you can't remember their names… I w ill go through the Information the is printed on each, starting at the top. The John H. Flagler Residence, "Grasshopper Farm" Residence of F. E. Green, The E. C. Converse Residence ( I wonder if it's the guy that made the sneakers?), "As You Like It" Belle Haven, Tw o views of the Putnam Cottage, The First Presbyterian Church, The Homestead Inn 1799 and the Kent House "Overlooking Long Island Sound".

On Tuesday, the New York Times ran an article about life and times on the road in Macedonia or some place in the Balkans, I can't remember the locale, but the photo that headed the article had a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible sitting in front of a fountain in the tow n square. And not too different from the one show n in the attached photograph. Maybe a little more tattered and w orn… but there was one thing that caught my eye and I said… That's a great "Do You Remember".
So here goes another round of trivia from our Youth.
1. Cars w ore skirts, over the real w heel and they had latching mechanisms so that they could be removed w hen changing the tires.
2. The janitor's at the High School used to sprinkle an "aromatic" saw dust on the floor before sw eeping the corridors with 4'-0" w ide brooms… The smell of the saw dust w as like nothing else you could identify in "flavor, aroma or texture" It w ent beyond being something "normal" and w as probably highly toxic and bad for our health.
4. You could alw ays tell w ho had just come from gym, because their hair w as dripping w et. I can't remember if w e were given towels or if we had to bring them from home.
3. You dressed up for school, w ith polished shoes and sometimes a tie. You changed into gym clothes for Gym classes and were made to take a show er after class.
5. This one is for the Kids from Byram… Our part of Byram w as called East Port Chester and the school w as named New Lebanon, w e were the first class to graduate from the New, New Lebanon
School w hich was built across the street, from the old Hulking "Fire Trap" w ith the Winslow Homer painting "Gulf Stream" at the end of the Second Floor Corridor. I often w onder about w hether that was an original painting and w orth millions. It w ould be just like Greenw ich to have an original hanging in a grammar school corridor, outside the auditorium…
6. Trying to earn Merit Badges in Boy Scouts, one of the tasks w as to "hike" from your home to Cat Rock on Glenville Road. I w ent w ith my "buddy" at that time… Barry Gedney" and w e hitch-hiked up to the campsite, set up our campfire, cooked a can of beans (Campbell's Pork & Beans), packed up and hitched back home again. Of course w e had to scale Cat Rock… major mole hill and nothing like Sue Lew is' Mt. Shasta.

Yes it's that time again and here I am begging for someone to w rite about the thing that makes this new sletter go.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
IN RE: DIRECT SOUTHWEST, INC., FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT (FLSA) LITIGATION
CIVIL ACTION
NO: 08-1984-MLCF-SS
ORDER
DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION (Rec. doc. 140)
DENIED
On July 8, 2009, the undersigned granted in part and denied in part the motion of DirecTech Southwest, Inc. ("DSI") for a protective order regarding plaintiffs' discovery requests for electronically stored information ("ESI"). Rec. doc. 133. The defendants, DSI, DirecTech Holding Co., Inc. ("DirecTech Holding") and DirectTV, Inc. ("DTV"), request reconsideration of one part of the order which provided that:
The plaintiffs report that, "defendants did not supply emails concerning the named plaintiffs, their work, their hours, or their hours, or defendants' wage and hour policies and practices, even though such documents were specifically requested." Rec. doc. 124 at 7. The plaintiffs report that this occurred because of the defendants' decision to limit the search terms in their query. The plaintiffs report that, although they supplied a search term list, the defendants created their own list. Id. DSI responds that: (a) it recently conducted a further search regarding items which plaintiffs have most recently contended are relevant; (b) the search produced some additional documents; and (c) they were produced to the plaintiffs. It is not clear from DSI's memorandum whether the defendants conducted a search using all of the terms on plaintiffs' search term list. The request for an order regarding category no. 1 is granted.
Within ten (10) working days: (a) DSI and the other defendants shall certify that they conducted a complete search using the terms found on plaintiffs' search term list; (b) all documents identified by such search which were not previously
produced shall be produced within this deadline; and (c) DSI and the other defendants shall provide a privilege log for any documents withheld from the production.
Rec. doc. 133 at 2-3 (footnote omitted).
The issue is whether the defendants are required to make a search using terms supplied by the plaintiffs (see Rec. doc. 140 at 4-6 for plaintiff's list) or defendants' proposed list (Id. at 8-9). The defendants contend that plaintiffs' list will produce many false hits and require them to incur costs of $100,000 to produce the ESI. 1
The defendants cite William A. Gross Construction Associates, Inc. v. American Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Company, 256 F.R.D. 134 (S.D.N.Y. 2009), where the court said the decision "should serve as a wake-up call to the Bar in this District about the need for careful thought, quality control, testing, and cooperation with opposing counsel in designing search terms or 'keywords' to be used to produce emails or other electronically stored information...." Id. The court described the case as:
[T]he latest example of lawyers designing keyword searches in the dark, by the seat of the pants, without adequate (indeed, here, apparently without any) discussion with those who wrote the emails.
Id. at 135. After reviewing some of the cases and commentators discussing the issue, the court said "the best solution in the entire area of electronic discovery is cooperation among counsel," and cited The Sedona Conference Cooperation Proclamation. Id. at 136. The undersigned echos this statement. Unfortunately counsel are not able to reach agreement on the search terms.
There are significant issues with keyword searches.
Keyword searches work best when the legal inquiry is focused on finding
1 Most of this cost is for paralegals and attorneys to review the documents to determine whether they are protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine.
particular documents and when the use of language is relatively predictable. For example, keyword searches work well to find all documents that mention a specific individual or date, regardless of context.
Scheindlin and Capra-The Sedona Conference, Electronic Discovery and Digital Evidence, (West 2009) ("Scheindlin"), p. 229. "Keyword searches identify all documents containing a specified term regardless of context, and so they can possibly capture many documents irrelevant to the user's query." Scheindlin at 230.
The lists proposed by the defendants and plaintiffs reflect two different approaches. The defendants' list focuses on the named plaintiffs and the words "policies" and "practices." The plaintiffs' list ignores the named plaintiffs and uses a much more detailed list of terms. The plaintiffs argue that their search list is required because the defendants' motion for summary judgment is based on the retail service exemption, 29 U.S.C. § 207(i) and it raises "virtually all aspects of defendants' business...." Rec. doc. 164 at 2. The undersigned is persuaded that the plaintiffs' list is more appropriate to the discovery required to respond to defendants' motion for summary judgment.
The deadline for the plaintiffs to conduct discovery to respond to defendants' motion for summary judgment was July 2, 2009. Rec. doc. 90. The July 8, 2009 discovery order stated that:
Based on the July 2, 2009 discovery deadline, the plaintiffs' request for further discovery is not timely. In the interest of judicial economy, the issue of whether defendants should be required to provide further discovery on the eight categories identified by the plaintiffs will be resolved. Deadlines for the production of the discovery will be set. This shall not be interpreted as an extension of the July 2, 2009 discovery deadline. DSI and the other defendants may object to this order on the ground that the deadline for completion of discovery has expired and the plaintiffs may request that the District Judge grant a further extension. The decision to permit further discovery beyond the July 2, 2009 deadline remains with the District Judge.
Rec. doc. 133 at 2 (emphasis added) Nothing in this order alters this statement. The issue raised
by this motion should have been resolved at the beginning of the discovery process and not at the end.
IT IS ORDERED that: (1) the defendants' motion for reconsideration (Rec. doc. 140) is DENIED; and (2) within ten (10) working days of the entry of this order, the defendants shall comply with the provisions of the July 2, 2009 order using the search terms provided by plaintiffs.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 7
th day of August, 2009.

1 Disease Diagnosis
You have a high fever and go to the doctor to identify the cause. 1% of the people have Ebola, 10% of the people have the flu, and 89% have neither. Assume that no person has both. Suppose that 100% of the Ebola people have a high fever, 30% of the flu people have a high fever, and 2% of the people who have neither, have a high fever. Is it more likely that you have Ebola, the flu, or neither?

(a) When is P (A ∪ B) = P (A)+ P (B) true? What is the general rule that always holds?
(b) When is P (A ∩ B) = P (A) P (B) true? What is the general rule that always holds?
(c) If A and B are disjoint, are they independent?
(d) On the space of a fair roll of a six-sided die, find three events, each of which is independent of the intersection of the other two, such that they are not mutually independent.
(e) If we roll 2 dice, what is the probability that the first roll is a 3? What is the probability that the first roll is a 3 if we know that the sum of the dice is 6?

H125 performance increase certified by EASA
Up to +140kg of additional payload coming from engine power release
#H125 #aerialwork @SafranHCEngines @ThalesAerospace
Marignane, 16 April 2021 – Airbus Helicopters has received EASA certification for the power upgrade of its single-engine H125 helicopter. Announced at Heli-Expo last year, this major evolution increases the aircraft's power by up to 10% by making full use of the available power of the existing Safran Helicopter Engines' Arriel 2D.
While the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft remains unchanged, its external and internal load lifting capabilities are increased for a large part of the flight domain (by up to +140 kg), while the hover ceiling OGE at maximum take-off weight is increased by more than 1,500 ft (up to 12,600 ft).
"It is our ambition to continuously improve our products and bring further competitive advantages to our customers", said Axel Aloccio, Head of Light Helicopters Programme. "The extra power offered by this major upgrade represents a 10% to 20% payload increase for a typical aerial work mission versus the aircraft's current lifting capabilities and confirms the superiority of the H125 in terms of payload and value for money".
This extra power will be included as a standard feature, at no additional cost, on all new-built H125s delivered from September 2021 onwards. A retrofit solution consisting of a VEMD software upgrade, available from Thales via an in-shop retrofit or standard exchange, will also be available for all H125s already in service within the EASA region by the end of April 2021. Additional international certifications are expected to be obtained in the coming months.
With more than 4,000 helicopters in service with about 1,500 global customers and 28.5 million accumulated flight hours, the H125 continues to lead the single engine helicopter market in all mission segments thanks to its high performance and multi-mission capacity. In the last 10 years 1,420 H125s have been delivered, resulting in a 52% market share.

A scientific note on the characterization of microsatellite loci for Melipona mondury (Hymenoptera: Apidae)*
Denilce Meneses Lopes, Filipe Oliveira da Silva, Tânia Maria Fernandes-Salom˜ ao, Lúcio Antônio de Oliveira Campos, Mara Garcia Tavares
Departamento de Biologia Geral, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Av. P H Rolfs, s/n, CEP: 36.570-000, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Received 26 September 2008 – Revised 19 March 2009 – Accepted 23 June 2009
ISSR / Melipona / microsatellites / population genetics / stingless bees
Microsatellites are a class of markers much used in population, phylogenetic and parentage studies because of their high degree of polymorphism, codominance and high reproducibility (De la Rúa et al., 2001; Oliveira et al., 2006). Microsatellite sequences are amplified by PCR, using primers that flank the repeat sequences of nuclear DNA. The development of these primers, however, is the limiting factor for the use of these markers. Because of this difficulty, there are microsatellite primers developed for only three species of stingless bee, Melipona bicolor (Peters et al., 1998), Scaptotrigona postica (Paxton et al., 1999) and Trigona carbonaria (Green et al., 2001). However, considering the diversity of stingless bee species and their importance as pollinating agents in natural and cultivated environments (Kerr et al., 1994, 1996; Heard, 1999) the design of further species-specific primers for stingless bees has become urgent.
when compared to other techniques used for this purpose, this methodology has been widely used to design microsatellite primers (Kanchanaprayudh et al., 2002; Francisco-Candeira et al., 2007; Provan and Wilson, 2007).
Thus the objective of this study was to identify and characterize microsatellite primers specific to Melipona mondury Smith, 1863, a stingless bee species considered an important pollinator that is distributed throughout the Atlantic Rainforest in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina (Brazil) (Melo, 2003). The primers were developed using the methodology proposed by Nest et al. (2000), that is based on the amplification of sequences located between two inversely oriented microsatellites (ISSR - Inter-simple sequence repeats). Because it is a simpler and quicker procedure
To develop the primers, the DNA extracted from an M. mondury individual (Waldschmidt et al., 1997), was amplified using the following ISSR primers: (GA)8C, (CT)8T, (CA)8G, (AC)8T, (AC)8G, (AG)8YC, (GA)8YG, CCGA CTCGAG(N)6ATGTGG, (AC)8RG, (AC)8YA, (TG)8RC, (AC)8G, (CCG)6, (CTC)6 and CATGGTGTTGGTCATTGTTCCA. The amplification program consisted of a first denaturing step at 94 ◦ C (3 min), followed by 40 cycles at 92 ◦ C (1 min), 55 ◦ C (2 min) and 72 ◦ C (2 min) with a final extension at 72 ◦ C (7 min). The amplifications were carried out in volumes of 25 μL consisting of 0.2 μM primer, 8 μM dNTP, 0.5 U Taq DNA polymerase (Phoneutria), 1X of the PCR buffer and 20 ng genomic DNA. The ISSR fragments were purified and linked in the pGEM T-Easy vector (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After transformation in E.coli DH5α, 55 positive clones were sequenced.

The presence of microsatellite sequences was verified in the Simple Sequence Repeat Identification Tool - SSRIT (Temnykh et al., 2001). Results showed that some sequenced fragments presented microsatellites corresponding to the ISSR primers at the 5' and 3' extremities as well as internal microsatellites. The analyses of these sequences allowed the design of 10 pairs of microsatellite primers for M. mondury using the program

These primers were tested by amplifying the DNA of 20 workers, representing a single population of M. mondury and 20 individuals of M. quadrifasciata, M. bicolor, M. rufiventris and Partamona helleri. The amplifications were made in reactions of 10 μL containing 12.5 ng genomic DNA, 1X Promega Taq PCR buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.3; 50 mM KCl), 0.5 or 0.25 μM of each forward and reverse primer, 0.1 mM dNTP, 1.5 or 1.0 mM MgCl2, and 1 U Taq DNA polymerase (Promega). The conditions for the PCR were: 94 ◦ C (3 min), followed by 40 cycles at 92 ◦ C (30 s), annealing temperatures specific for each primer (Tab. I) (1 min) and 72 ◦ C (30 s) with a final extension step at 72 ◦ C (5 min). The amplification products were separated in 8% polyacrylamide gel and the POPGENE 1.32 program (Yeh et al., 1999) was used to calculate the Nei (H) genetic diversity, test the deviation of the loci for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the linkage disequilibrium.
Nine of the 10 loci tested were polymorphic (90.0%) and the number of the alleles ranged from 1 to 6 (Tab. I). The genetic diversity values ranged from 0.0 to 0.79 (mean = 0.41). Only the Mmo15 locus did not deviate from the HW equilibrium at the level of 5% and no linkage disequilibrium was observed.
These 10 microsatellite primers were tested in M. quadrifasciata, M. bicolor, M. rufiventris and P. helleri (Tab. II) and the success of the results obtained showed their usefulness in genetic studies with other stingless bee species.

Do Women Pick Up Lies before Men? The Association between Gender, Deception Patterns, and Detection Modes in Online Dating
Andreas Schmitz, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Germany Doreen Zillmann, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Germany Hans-Peter Blossfeld, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Germany
Abstract
Due to its particular conditions, the Internet increases opportunities for lies and deception compared to offline interactions. In online dating, misrepresentation of the self is an issue of particular relevance. Previous studies have shown that searching for a mate online is accompanied by a high risk of being deceived. This paper focuses on the rarely-considered perspective of the receivers of deception. Our study will first investigate deception patterns of men and women in online dating profiles. In a second step, modes of detecting deception (email, telephone, face-to-face, etc.) are analyzed. Using online survey data of 3,535 users of a German dating site, results show (1) gender-specific deception patterns: Women are more likely to misrepresent their physical attractiveness; men are more likely to misrepresent information on marital status, intended relationship, and height. (2) These gender-specific deception patterns are associated with specific detection modes. Women are more likely to detect specific male deceptions during e-mail communication in an early stage of dating, whereas men are more likely to detect specific female deceptions at the first face-to-face meeting. These results highlight the link between different kinds of deception, characteristics of the receiver and its detection via different communication technologies. Implications of the results for the mating process are discussed.
Keywords: Deception, Communication Technologies, E-Dating, Correspondence Analysis
Introduction
Lies and deception are as integral an element of the social as cooperation and trust. They occur in everyday life in a variety of social situations, ranging from economic transfers to romantic interactions, and to varying degrees, from negligible cheating to serious fraud. With the spread of web-based communication practices, issues of deception and fraud have become even more relevant, and hence a particular object of research interest (cf. Whitty and Joinson 2009; Pratt et al. 2010). Romantic interactions online are no exception from this development, as they are also increasingly discussed with regard to romance scams and identity fraud (cf. Rege 2009; e.g. Toma and Hancock 2010; Toma, Hancock and Ellison 2008; Hancock, Toma, and Ellison 2007; Ellison, Heino and Gibbs 2006; Gibbs, Ellison and Heino 2006; Zillmann, Schmitz, and Blossfeld 2011). Whereas the extent of deception and its logic have found major consideration in the online dating literature, research on the detection of deceptive information by deception receivers has been sparse.
Based on recent work on the relation between communication medium and deception detection (Hancock, Woodworth, and Goorha 2010), we assess to what extent communication technologies affect gender-specific practices of deception detection. To this end, we use online survey data of 3,535 male and female users of a major German dating site and answer the following research questions: (1) Are there gender-specific patterns of deception in users‟ online dating profiles and (2) are those patterns associated with gender-specific detection modes? By detection mode we mean the communication methods used to reveal a deception, namely e-mail, telephone, face-toface, and other methods.
In this paper, we first discuss deception and its detection in online dating. Second, we describe the data and measurements used. Subsequently, we will present descriptive results on men‟s and
women‟s deceptive profile presentation using an indirect questioning technique, and multivariate results on deception
patterns and their
association with different modes of detection using
multiple correspondence analysis. Results are discussed in the light of previous findings on

deception detection and with regard to the implications for gender-specific challenges when searching for a mate online.
Deception in Online Dating
Due to the architecture of online dating sites, self-presentation – especially in the user profile, but also in subsequent communication via e-mail messages or a chat system – is a major requirement for mating on the Internet, as it is a means for users to convey information about themselves to other actors. On the basis of their information, other users evaluate them and decide if it seems promising to contact them or answer an incoming contact from them. Therefore, at least one ideal-typical aim can be given for self-presentation on dating sites: Users will want to attract a maximum of attention from relevant partners by portraying themselves as interesting and attractive (cf. e.g. Ellison, Heino, and Gibbs 2006). A combination of the users‟ complete control over self-presentation, and respondents‟ reliance on this presentation, leads to an increasing risk of deception, e.g., responding to a profile which does not fully or sometimes even at all correspond to reality.
The problem of strategic self- and misrepresentation has found particular attention in the various collaborations of Ellison, Gibbs, Hancock, Heino and Toma (Ellison, Heino and Gibbs 2006; Gibbs, Ellison and Heino 2006; Hancock, Toma and Ellison 2007; Toma, Hancock and Ellison 2008). Overall, the findings of this line of research indicate that, rather than fundamentally misrepresenting important characteristics, users of dating sites „optimize‟ their profile in accordance with their expectations of what potential partners might look for. Zillmann, Schmitz, and Blossfeld (2011) were able to show that users deceive corresponding to their own characteristics or overall „mate value‟ (see Todd and Miller 1999), and that these deceptions follow the logics of mate markets, which can be described by the differential pressure that they impose on the agents to employ deceptive practices. Results show that men perceive their „chances for attention‟ (Schmitz 2009; Zillmann, Schmitz, and Blossfeld 2011) basically as a function of the characteristics „marital status‟, „preferred relationship form‟, „height‟ and statusrelevant resources, whereas women perceive their „chances for attention‟ basically as a function
Volume: 3 – Issue: 3 – July - 2013
of their physical appearance. However, the „chances of exchange‟ (Schmitz 2009; Zillmann, Schmitz, and Blossfeld 2011) may be cancelled out, as breaking the „promise‟ (cf. Ellison, Hancock, and Toma 2012) can significantly reduce chances for the realization of a (romantic) relationship. Thus, strategically using deceptive self-presentation involves negotiating the tension between attracting potential mates through a promising online presentation, and the anticipation of future face-to-face meetings which might reveal misrepresentations immediately and therefore constrain the excessive use of deception (Hancock, Toma, and Ellison 2007; Ellison, Heino, and Gibbs 2006).
Detecting the Deception
The detection of deceptive information is complicated, both for the receivers and for scientists trying to assess the extent and nature of deceptive behavior. From the perspective of users, the ubiquitous risk of deception is of particular relevance, as users searching for a mate are necessarily interested in the true state of a potential mate‟s characteristics, and want to avoid wasted investments, be they financial, temporal or emotional. There is a substantial body of literature within social psychology and sociology on lie detection and signals of trustworthiness in face-to-face situations (see e.g. Gambetta and Hamill 2005; Ekman and O‟Sullivan 1991; Ekman 1992; Ekman 1996; DePaulo, Zuckerman, and Rosenthal 1980). However, research on deception detection and signals of trustworthiness within online environments – which differ in many cases from offline settings – is rare.
Since identity is a hidden quality online but essential for evaluating the interaction partner (Donath 1999), how can a user decide whether another user is trustworthy and credible? The particularly precarious problem is that offline symbols of trustworthiness (such as lifestyle, level of education, beauty, etc.) are the most common objects of online deceptions (cf. Donath 1999; Ellison, Hancock, and Toma 2012). Online daters often have to resort to their experience, their knowledge or simply to their „gut feeling‟ when it comes to an online encounter.
Usually, research on deception relies essentialy on self-reported data, that is, "asking potential liars to tell the truth about lying" (Lucid 2009: 45; Toma, Hancock, and Ellison 2008). To overcome associated limitations and problems of biased measures due to social desirability, the studies of Hancock, Toma and Ellison (2007) and Toma, Hancock and Ellison (2008) compared online dating profile information with a sample of offline measurements on the same users. An alternative approach is suggested by Zillmann and Schmitz (2012), who used indirect questioning, in the form of asking respondents about their experiences with other users‟ deceptive profile presentations, and compared it with data based on direct questioning (which asks respondents about their own deceptive behavior). They were able to show that indirect questioning can be considered as being unaffected by the social desirability bias, as it shows more gender-specific covariance than direct questioning, which can, conversely, essentially be described by a dominance of social desirability.
A relevant set of auxiliaries for the user‟s deception detection is constituted by the various communication technologies that are

High frequency of vertebral fractures in early Spondylarthropathies
Abstract
Summary: We demonstrated that vertebral fractures (VF) are commonly found in early SpA. Patients with VF had lower lumbar BMD than patients without VF. VF remained frequently 'unrecognized' and untreated. VF have been associated with more back pain, reduced Qol and increased risk of future fractures which stresses the importance of recognition also in early stage SpA.
Introduction: VF are a common complication of longstanding Ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, data of VF in early AS patients and in other Spondylarthropathies (SpA) are scarce. Therefore we examined the prevalence of VF in early SpA patients and investigated the associations between VF and demographic and disease-related variables.
Methods: SpA patients were included consecutively and radiographs of the spine were made. VF were assessed according to the method of Genant et al.: fractures were defined as reduction of ≥20% of the vertebrae. Descriptive statistics, t-tests and logistic regression analyses were used to study the relationship between VF and demographic and diseaserelated variables, radiographic damage and BMD.
Results: A total of 113 early SpA patients were included with a disease duration of 7 months, a mean age of 37 years. Seventeen patients (15%) had at least one VF. Fourteen patients had one VF, three patients had two VF. Most VF were located at Th6–Th8. In patients with VF, bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine was lower than BMD of patients without VF (t-test: p=0.043). Axial Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) was significantly associated with a higher risk for VF (OR 4.62, 95% CI 1.15–18.58, p=0.031). No significant associations were found with disease activity variables nor with radiographic severity.
Conclusion: In a group of 113 early, young SpA patients, 15% already had at least one VF. Most VF were asymptomatic, undetected by routine diagnostic procedures and located at the mid-thoracic spine. The VF were associated with low BMD of the lumbar spine and with axial PsA.
Introduction
Spondylarthropathies (SpA) include a group of chronic inflammatory diseases that consists of Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), Reactive arthritis, arthritis or sacroiliitis associated with inflammatory bowel diseases, undifferentiated Spondylarthropathies and Juvenile Spondylarthropathies. SpA are characterized by involvement of the sacroiliac joints and the axial skeleton, but also by enthesitis and peripheral arthritis. Extra-articular manifestations of the eyes (acute anterior uveitis), skin (psoriasis) and gut (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis) often occur. AS is the major subtype of the SpA group of diseases since it has clear classification criteria for many decades now, and many clinical and epidemiological studies relating to this disease have been published unlike other types of SpA.
Loss of bone mass (osteopenia and osteoporosis) is a well recognized feature of longstanding and severe AS [1–4]. Due to the continual bone resorption as well as the reduced capacity of shock absorption, the ankylosed and rigid spine is at risk of developing fractures and becoming increasingly deformed [1]. Vertebral compression fractures due to osteoporosis are therefore a common and serious complication of longstanding AS [1, 5]. These fractures frequently occur spontaneously or after minor trauma and are associated with mortality and morbidity through neurological complications, decreased physical function, increased kyphosis and more back pain [6, 7].
In mild and earlier forms of AS, a high incidence and prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) was also described [3, 4, 8] but only a few studies are available on BMD in other types of SpA. Previously, we showed that low BMD in early stage SpA is highly common in this population (47%) [9]. However, data on vertebral fractures in early AS, but also in other Spondylarthropathies, are scarce. Vertebral fractures are important to be studied, for they are often overlooked in daily clinical practice, and because of the association with above mentioned complications and increased risk of future vertebral and non-vertebral fractures [10–12]. Therefore, we assessed the prevalence of vertebral fractures in SpA patients at an early stage of disease and investigated the association between vertebral fractures, and demographic, disease-related and BMD-related variables.
Patients and methods
Study population
The study group consisted of patients aged ≥18 years with inflammatory back pain [13] and a recent diagnosis of Spondylarthropathy (according to the European Spondylarthropathy Study Group [ESSG] criteria) [14]. The diagnosis Spondylarthropathy consisted of AS, Undifferentiated SpA, patients with inflammatory back pain and, Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), inflammatory bowel diseases, or Reactive arthritis and Juvenile SpA [14]. All patients were consecutively enrolled in a prospective early Spondylarthropathy study at Reade, a large outpatient rheumatology clinic in the Netherlands. The local Medical Ethics Committee approved the study protocol and all participants gave written informed consent.
Data collection
A verified medical history, physical examination, and laboratory assessment were obtained from all SpA patients at inclusion. Radiographs (of the lateral cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine) and DXA scans were made according to protocol. Few patients of which radiographs were missing or not made at the time of the DXA scan (±3 months) were excluded. The following patient characteristics were collected: demographic data (e.g., gender, date of birth), disease-related variables like symptom duration (time of first complaints until inclusion), disease duration (moment of diagnosis until inclusion) and history of peripheral arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, psoriasis and uveitis. In addition, the disease activity score, BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index) [15], the functional capacity scores, BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index) [16] and BASMI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index) [17], were collected. Laboratory assessment included erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and the presence of the HLA-B27 antigen. BMD-related variables were also obtained, like 25hydroxy vitamin D levels, data on previous peripheral fractures, menopausal status, and medication i.e., use of anti-osteoporotic or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), corticosteroids and tumor necrosis factor alpha blocking agents (anti-TNF). Radiological damage of the cervical and lumbar spine (lateral) was assessed by two readers (IvdH and CvD) according to the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) [18]. The inter-observer variability was calculated by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC=0.93).
BMD of the lumbar spine (L2-L4) and left proximal femur was measured with DXA equipment (Lunar DPX-IQ, Madison, WI, USA) and the results were presented as BMD (g/cm 2 ), T-scores and Z-scores. The T-score corresponds to the number of standard deviations (SD) from any result of the peak bone mass, and the Z-score is the T-score with a correction for age and weight. The definitions of the World Health Organization (WHO) were used to define osteoporosis (T-score ≤-2.5 in the spine and/or hip), osteopenia (-2.5< T-score <-1.0 in the spine and/or the hip, without osteoporosis) and normal bone density (T-score ≥-1.0 in both sites) [19].
Outcome measure
The primary outcome measure in this study was vertebral fractures. Vertebral fractures were assessed at lateral radiographs of the thoracic and lumbar spine (T5–L4) using the standardized semi-quantitative method described by Genant et al. [20]. In Genant et al.'s semi-quantitative assessment, vertebrae receive a severity grade based on the visually apparent degree of vertebral height loss. Reduction in height is divided in grades on a scale of 0 to 3; grade 0 (normal) represents a reduction in anterior, middle and/or posterior vertebral heights of less than 20%, grade 1 (mild) represents a reduction of 20-25%, grade 2 (moderate) represents a reduction of 25-40% and grade 3 (severe) more than 40% reduction. Vertebral fractures were defined as reduction of ≥20% of the vertebral body height [20]. The scoring procedure was performed by two experienced readers (BD and WL). The very few discrepancies that were observed were additionally scored by a third person, and consensus was reached.

```
11
00:00:35,290 --> 00:00:35,750 Both of you. 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,870 Hey thanks for having us. 13 00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:37,950 Thank you very much for having us. 14 00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:38,660 First of all, 15 00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:47,930 I'd like to start with a big thank you to both of you for the work that you've done to keep our schools functioning and have that extracurriculars as a part of the student experience now, 16 00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:48,260 Gosh, 17 00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:52,560 two years into this pandemic and keep athletics in our schools going. 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,120 I know it's not been an easy road, 19 00:00:54,170 --> 00:00:58,620 one that has lots of shifts and lots of maneuvering that we've had to manage. 20 00:00:58,630 --> 00:01:03,540 Lots of changes and lots of safety protocols that we've also been responsible for implementing and U. 21 00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:16,170
Two have done amazing job along with all of our athletic directors to provide those experiences and to do it in a safe and meaningful way so that kids do get access to that part of their high school experience.
22
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:23,070
And we're gonna talk a little bit about some of those rules and regulations and that juggling act that you all have been doing now for gosh two years.
```
23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,150 But let's start with the, 24 00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:25,570 why, 25 00:01:25,570 --> 00:01:26,660 what brought you into the work? 26 00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:43,410
```
And it's always been my experience that the athletic directors often times the most underappreciated position in the high school next to the custodian sometimes because there's not a whole lot of thanking people for the officials showing up on time and making sure that all of the supplies and things are ready on the field.
27
00:01:43,410 --> 00:01:46,460
And I just have a lot of admiration for the work you do.
28
00:01:46,470 --> 00:01:52,710
But let's talk about what brought you specifically into the roles and why you're here and why this is uh,
29
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,400
something you've chosen as your career path.
30
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,250
So Dave,
31 00:01:55,250 --> 00:01:56,070 let's start with you, 32 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:03,580 can you talk a little bit about what got you into the field of athletics and maybe how you started and what it brought you or how you started as a, 33 00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:07,900 as a younger student and then how did eventually become your career boy? 34 00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:11,070 You're taking me way back to when I was a young kid. 35 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,450 You know, 36 00:02:11,450 --> 00:02:15,610 just started out in athletics with the support of my family and my, 37 00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:17,710 I have older siblings that were involved in, 38 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,730 had a lot of opportunity to, 39 00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:21,050 you know, 40 00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:23,190 move that direction as a youth, 41 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,100

I wasn't an overly great student, 560 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:13,740 good student, 561 00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:13,940 you know, 562 00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:16,400 that that's what kept me coming the friday nights, 563 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:16,860 the,
564 00:28:16,870 --> 00:28:17,240 you know, 565 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,620 the saturday doubleheaders, 566 00:28:18,620 --> 00:28:21,140 the trips on the bus with the basketball team. 567 00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:24,560 Those are the things that that bring a lot of those kids into our buildings, 568 00:28:24,570 --> 00:28:25,050 I think, 569 00:28:25,060 --> 00:28:26,210 I think you nailed it right there, 570 00:28:26,210 --> 00:28:29,600 it's that it's I mean athletics and clubs in general, 571 00:28:29,610 --> 00:28:32,680 it's besides competing and I know we all win and lose, 572 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,310 but really it's the social aspects, 573 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:41,580 I mean there's a lot of kids that love to play sports just because of the connection with their friends or they get to meet new friends that way, 574 00:28:41,590 --> 00:28:43,680
and I just think it's it's invaluable,
```
575 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,090 I mean we just started the other day, 576 00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:46,430 you're talking about Bigfoot club, 577 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,040 I mean we had a group of kids now that have already come up with like a pickleball club, 578 00:28:50,050 --> 00:28:50,360 you know, 579 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:56,520 and here's this group of kids now that they're bonding and now that they're learning life skills now they've learned to try to start something and so, 580 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:56,740 I mean, 581 00:28:56,740 --> 00:29:02,160 I just think the lessons and connections that athletics and clubs and all that puts together is just invaluable, 582 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,790 I mean it's just taking the classroom and moving it into another, 583 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,200 you know, 584 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:06,860 another round,
585 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,310 Okay, 586 00:29:07,310 --> 00:29:10,460 so we're asking this question of everybody that's on the podcast this year, 587 00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:12,030 especially under the conditions, 588 00:29:12,030 --> 00:29:13,270 were kind of working through, 589 00:29:13,340 --> 00:29:17,080 I just love to know what is giving you both hope right now, 590 00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:18,450 What gives me hope is just, 591 00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:22,010 is watching our coaches work with with the kids, 592 00:29:22,020 --> 00:29:30,380 giving them these continued experiences and access to so many things that they don't get outside of our buildings, 593 00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:32,130 a safe environment, 594 00:29:32,140 --> 00:29:34,670 a competitive nurturing environment, 595 00:29:34,740 --> 00:29:42,550
kids can take away and become better citizens and thrive in our communities and I mean that's those are the things that I think of,
596
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:43,080
I mean sure,
597
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:43,430

heck we're going to go out and try to win games and do all those things,
599
00:29:47,310 --> 00:29:57,300
But really that is beside the point to why we offer what we do and I think you go back to you asked a question a while ago about what was it like when the shutdown happened?
600
00:29:57,300 --> 00:30:04,900

,
Interim Rector's Report: Mother Coleen Tully
The movie Philadelphia 11 will be shown here on February 21. We are hosting St. Michael's and All Angels is paying for it. It is being widely advertised to the Diocese. A recovery service has been started. It has been well received. Construction continues. A newcomer class is pending. CPR/AED class is upcoming. Lots is going on.
Thrift Store Report: Eileen Carrara
We are 30 percent up over 2022 profits for 2023. Sales are excellent. January is $33,000 to date. The thrift shop will need new flooring this year and plumbing repairs as well to the men's urinal and women's toilets. The Vestry approved giving goods to Citygate Ministries. There are plenty of items of clothes and other goods that we can provide to them. Outreach grants will be $45,000. Storage unit for thrift shop. We are renting a storage unit on Cypress now. There is a storage unit available by the thrift shop itself. It is available again now for $2,000. We feel it would be a really great thing for the thrift shop. Motion to sign a lease for the storage unit, motion Kathie Hart, second, Alison Kinch. All in favor
Finance Report: Joe Mulino
John Edgar, Diocesan staff for congregational finance matters, assisted greatly with our 2024 budget and review of our finances in preparation for the Rector search. He updated our budget figures. He took the actual pledges received and adjusted the budget to that. There are several columns on the budget pages presented by the treasurer. here is a line for $50,000 from the Thrift Shop. That included the $20,0000 for the air conditioner and $30,000 for the December contribution. John Edgar recommended in the proposed budget he worked on to incorporate a $50,000 donation. One page 2 of the budget pages, the Rector salary at the top, was included as $70,000. The additional 70,000 listed is in anticipation of $23,333 is the remaining amount for Mother Tully for this year. Rector health and dental insurance is now 17,484 from John Edgar. Rector pension is shown at 12,600. Our salary budget line for lay office staff is $45,000. We have hired a Media Director. What remains from her salary from
the This line dropped from $65,000.
Some donations have come in for the added construction costs we have encountered. The thrift shop is considering an additional donation for $15,000 to assist with the overage of construction costs.
Diocesan capital apportionment. We had not included an amount in the budget for 2024 – it should have been listed as $2,500.
Cleaning service. John Edgar wanted to eliminate cleaning. We said it's not possible for us. We need the cleaners. $19,200 is the annual cost. Some other lines were adjusted in John Edgar's review (from the
Diocese).
Motion to approve the final budget for 2024 as modified by John Edgar from the Diocese, Rob Ricca. Second, Patty Ingram. All in favor. Our negative balance for the year on financials shows as $30,886. $24,277 of that is a discrepancy. The figure on the budget is correct, an operating loss of $6,609. This reporting discrepancy resulted from not including the mortgage payments to the Diocese as entries on the financial reports. Under restricted accounts, we should have applied the capital apportionment account to a certain account line. It was mistakenly applied to a wrong account. The accountant will make all of the needed adjustments next month.
Group Ministries:
Circle of Care would like to do an alternate training for people, a bit shorter, modified for snowbirds, especially. We need more people involved. The group takes Eucharist to those who cannot attend church. It's a lifeline to people who cannot be here. The full course is 12 weeks. The group is looking to do the training in six weeks. We have a very strong group.
LIFE – Steve Walsh is working on getting people to the Nehemiah Action on April 7. Rally is before that, three weeks earlier. Small Group Leaders meeting will be forthcoming.
Newcomer Cards. We have a ministry of reaching out to visitors and newcomers who fill out newcomer cards. This will pass on to another Vestry from Kathie Hart. It does not need to be a Vestry member. It can be any dedicated person.
Vestry Consultant: Fr. Doug Lind
With all the changes and time that has gone by since the Vestry started discussing having a Retreat, does the Vestry want to look at the objectives for the Vestry Retreat?
The other thing Fr. Lind wanted to us to remind the Parish about was the Rector Search Commitee. People should not be asking them any questions about how the search is going.
Fr. Lind also wanted to remind the Search Commitee to be very clear on what they are looking for in a new Rector.
Junior Warden's Report: Alison Kinch
We are waiting to get the cost for having the floor at the Thrift Store done. The person asked said he would need to see what he is pouring the new floor over before he can give a good quote. It will not be cheap, but has to be taken care of.
Believe Out Loud/All are Welcome has been added to our sign on both sides.
A new Power Supply has been installed in the booth.
More Plaques have been added to the Pet Memorial.
Bob Earl has graciously said he would pay for the removal of the dead tree in front.
Senior Report: Paula Paquette
We sent out a reminder about the upcoming Annual Parish meeting this Sunday. We have 3 candidates for Vestry, and we sent that information out. At the Annual Parish meeting we will ask if there are any other nominees, if not we will ask for a motion to affirm by acclamation. If there are other's we will make a motion for a paper vote. Paula will have paper ballets for people to fill out.
We sent out an update on the Rector search to the Parish.
The profile, along with the financial figures, that Joe and John Edgar worked on has been summited and is out on the National Search engine. Canon Norman has placed our advertisement on the Episcopal News Service. It will cost us $495, but will give us additional exposure. All Canidates will apply to the Diocese Canon Norman. The deadline is February 26. They have 5 weeks to supply their material. Canon Norman will schedule a meeting with the Search Team in a couple of weeks, the Senior Warden is required to set in on that meeting. After that the Search Team only will be doing their thing.

Gender, Emotional Intelligence, and the Need for Popularity: Exploring the Causes of Faux Pas Posting Beyond the Behavior of Friends

Abstract
Inappropriate, or faux pas, posting on social media can negatively impact students while in college and after graduation. To better understand this phenomenon, researchers have investigated various factors that influence students to engage in this risky behavior. Previous research has shown the posting behavior of close friends to be a significant predictor of a student's own inappropriate posting. This study builds on existing literature by exploring gender, emotional intelligence, and need for popularity as potential causes of faux pas posting beyond the behavior of friends. Specifically, a survey of undergraduate college students (N=209) was used to measure the constructs of interest on four social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. Supporting previous research, the results indicate the posting behavior of friends was a significant predictor of both general and specific faux pas posting across all four social media platforms. Although gender, emotional intelligence, and need for popularity were significantly related to faux pas posting on one or more platforms, none of the constructs provided more explanatory power than friend posting behavior alone. The study provides a discussion of these results and their implications for developing interventions and future research.

1. Introduction
Social media is so appealing to college students that 98% of them have accounts where they spend one to three hours each day (Ha et al., 2018; Tayo et al., 2019). Students spend their time on social media in a variety of ways, including sharing personal updates, connecting with friends, and commenting on social/political issues. College students are avid users of social media. In fact, emerging adults account for the largest social media usage compared to all other age groups (Holmgren & Coyne, 2017). Through their social media use, students can express themselves, connect to likeminded communities, and make new friends. While these benefits are significant, there are also negative outcomes that bear consideration.
Social media use has been shown to have a negative impact on college students' schoolwork (Junco & Cotten, 2011). Given the time that some students spend on social media, this may not seem that surprising. Even so, social media use can also have negative impacts that are less intuitive. As an example, social media use can negatively impact students' chances for employment after graduation. This is especially true if the students have engaged in posting behavior that would be considered inappropriate by potential employers. Recruiters are increasingly reviewing the social media content posted by job candidates as a part of the hiring process (Gruzd et al., 2020; Jacobson & Gruzd, 2020; Laukkarinen, 2023; Melão & Reis, 2021). These reviews, known as cybervetting, can uncover content that raises "red flags" for recruiters. Posting these types of inappropriate content (e.g., drug use, sexual activity, racist comments) has come to be known as faux pas posting (Karl et al., 2010). Given that students and young adults are the age group most likely to engage in faux pas posting (Roulin, 2014), this is a serious problem. Even after students are employed, social media use can still be risky. Faux pas posting is a common reason given by employers for termination. This is especially true in industries like business, medicine, and teaching (Barlow et al., 2015; Harwin, 2019; MacKenzie, 2016).
Previous research (Miller, 2020) has shown that the posting behavior of close friends has a significant impact on the content posted on students' social media platforms. Students whose friends post inappropriate content are more likely to post inappropriate content themselves. Friend posting behavior has even been shown to be a better predictor of student faux pas posting than the Big Five personality traits (Miller, 2020). Clearly, a student's friends matter when it comes to the content they post on social media.
While the posting behavior of friends is significant, the question remains – are there other factors that impact a student's decision to post inappropriate content? The current study will address this question by exploring potential factors drawn from existing research. Specifically, the study will explore the impact of gender, emotional intelligence, and need for popularity (NfP) on inappropriate social media posts by college students.
2. Literature Review
2.1 Inappropriate Social Media Posting
Social media is ubiquitous and college students are some of its most avid users. While students engage in social media for many different reasons, there are risks associated with its use - especially if that use involves posting content that is inappropriate, offensive, or unprofessional. Even when inappropriate posts are made to a select group of friends or followers, they can easily be shared outside of the student's intended audience. Some students post inappropriate content without giving their actions much thought, while other students view their posting behavior as a protected exercise of free speech. Regardless of their rationale, many of these students will come to learn that inappropriate, or faux pas, social media posting can have serious consequences.
Inappropriate posting behavior can be risky for students while they are still in school. Several universities have disciplined students for faux pas posting behavior, even when the posts were made in an off-campus setting (Barlow et al., 2015; Harwin, 2019). Students in disciplines such as medicine, teaching, or business who make inappropriate or unprofessional posts have been scrutinized both by their universities and their employers (Barlow et al., 2015; MacKenzie, 2016; Miller, 2020; Roulin, 2014). In their 2015 study, Barlow et al. examined the posting behavior of medical students in Australia, defining unprofessional content as "an online depiction of illegal activity, overt intoxication or illicit drug use, or the posting of patient information" (p. 2). Medical students in the study were largely aware of professionalism standards concerning social media use. The vast majority (90.5%), even agreed or strongly agreed that they were held to a higher standard for social media use than the general public. Unfortunately, this awareness of standards had little impact on actual posting behavior, given the prevalence of unprofessional content posted by
students in the study.
Faux pas posting can negatively impact students even after they graduate. As an example, a student who posts inappropriate content may find it harder to get a desired job. It has become common practice for recruiters to review the social media accounts of job candidates, often referred to as cybervetting (Roulin, 2014). Faux pas posts uncovered during these reviews can lead to negative hiring decisions. Even after a student gets employed, the risks of faux pas posting do not end. As many students have learned, employers are legally able to fire employees based on the content of their social media posts (MacKenzie, 2016; Spencer, 2022).
Given that students are aware of the risks posed by inappropriate posting on social media (Root & McKay, 2014), why do they continue to engage in this behavior? Researchers have attempted to answer this question by investigating several possible factors. One factor that has proven to be significant is the posting behavior of the students' close friends.
2.2 Friend Posting Behavior
The attitudes and values of a social group can have a powerful influence on the behaviors of individuals within the group. Likewise, culture and accepted norms for communication impact an individual's interactions within the group. Consistency of attitudes and behaviors of an individual in a social group will lead to further consistency of attitudes and behaviors as compared to individuals that have inconsistent attitudes and behaviors (Triandis, 1980).
Triandis' (1980) findings can be applied to college students in a social media setting. Specifically, students are swayed by the culture and accepted norms of their group – in this case, their social media friends. These influences can impact a student's social media posting behavior within the group. Those students who consistently mold their behavior to the group's norms and expectations may also become more accepting of those expectations. In this way, the posting behavior of a student's friend group ultimately shapes their own posting behavior.
Miller (2020) applied these psychological concepts to the impact of close friends on inappropriate social media postings. He found that students engage in more negative and inappropriate posting if similar content is present in their friends' postings. This result was significant for two reasons. First, the posting behavior of close friends proved to be a better predictor of student faux pas posting than any of the other factors considered in the study, including numerous personality traits. Second, the relationship between friend and student posting behavior was significant on multiple social media platforms. Students with friends who posted inappropriate content on Facebook or Twitter were more likely to post inappropriate content on the matching platform.

Thank you for logging in here to get my free gifts for you.
These are the very companies and resources I use for my Pre-Foreclosure Cash Cow business.
Always consult an attorney before entering into any real estate transactions. Please do not mistake any information that I have provided here or on my websites, social media, on-line videos, articles, interviews or anywhere you might find me, Coach Pat Martin as legal advice. Do not take any testimonials of Coach Pat or his client students' success or income testimonials as a guarantee of your own possible success of making any money at all. I can't make you any promises of financial success as I personally don't know you. That is my legal and earnings disclaimer.
1. PropStream. I use PropStream as one of my lead sources to locate specific vacant properties in default. I identify my farming area and look up the zip codes for those areas. I then refine my search in PropStream to vacant pre-foreclosure houses in my preferred price ranges and size of houses. Here is a link for PropStream for a free 7 day trial: https://signup.propstream.com/name.
2. Lead Sherpa. Lead Sherpa is one of the skip trace services I use. Once I download my list from PropStream, I then up load that list into Lead Sherpa to skip trace the owners to get their current phone numbers and current mailing addresses. Here is my link for Lead Sherpa. www.LeadSherpa.com.
3. Xen Call. I use Xen call program for my auto-dialer. Xen Call will dial about 20 numbers and a time and can go through about 300 numbers in an hour. The more calls you can make the more hits you will get. The more hits you will get the more homeowners you will be able to talk to and help. The more homeowners you talk to the more deals you will be able to put into your pipeline. Think about what (2) houses a month can do to your residual passive monthly income. I just picked up two houses in just 2 hours on Xen Call. One rents for $2139 per month and the other for $1595. My profit after expenses of me paying rent to the owner(s) is $1604 and $1196. Those 2 hours make me over $33K per year. What if you picked up (2) houses per month for 12 months? That would be 24 houses. Can you now see how you could make over $400K profit by working this business model part time each month for 12 months? Think about how 2 deals per month for 12 months can change your life forever! www.XenCall.com.
4. My on-line Landlord Platform: www.Cozy.co. This is a must to use when you get into this business. Here is my link for Cozy. Cozy is a free service. They can run your credit and background checks for your tenant applicants. They will also advertise your property on various internet sites. They collect rents online from your tenants and can have their monthly rent payments reported to all 3 credit bureaus. I love using Cozy.
Here are some other skip trace resources I use:
2. www.TracersInfo.net. This is a paid for service. It is a bit tougher to get but well worth it if you do.
1. www.TruePeopleSearch.com. This is a free service.
3. www.FindTheSeller.com. My old friend Cameron Dunlop owns this company.

Securities and Exchange Commission (the ''Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend the NYSE Amex Options Fee Schedule (''Fee Schedule''). The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule for Firms to (1) increase the transaction fee for certain proprietary electronic executions of standard option contracts and (2) introduce volume-based tiers for certain proprietary electronic executions of standard option contracts that will be charged a lower per contract rate. The proposed change will be operative on May 1, 2013.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to increase the per contract transaction fee for proprietary electronically executed orders for Firms from $.20 to $.25 per contract. The Exchange notes that the proposed fee is within the range of Firm fees presently assessed in the industry, which range from $.17 per contract for high volume (over 500,000 contracts per month) Firms in Multiply Listed, nonSelect Symbols on NASDAQ OMX

Sfmt 4703
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
PHLX (''PHLX'') 4 to $.89 per contract to take liquidity on The NASDAQ Options Market (''NOM'') for non-Penny Pilot securities. 5
At the same time, the Exchange proposes to establish volume-based tiers for Firms that trade electronically on the Exchange. Upon achieving a higher volume tier, a Firm will automatically become eligible for a lower per contract rate on all of its electronic executions in that month. The proposed volume-based tiers will be based on a percentage of the Total Industry Customer equity and exchange-traded fund (''ETF'') option average daily volume (''ADV''). 6 By doing so, the tiers will float with the level of overall activity in the marketplace. The tiers will be as follows:
Based on the past few months of activity,.32% of Total Industry Customer equity and ETF option ADV would be approximately 38,750 contracts per day (or 813,750 contracts per month) and.21% would be approximately 25,500 contracts per day (or 536,550 contracts per month), in each case assuming 21 trading days per month.
By way of comparison, the Exchange notes that the discounted fee for Firm

Micro.aspx?id=PHLXPricing.
6 Total Industry Customer equity and ETF option ADV will be that which is reported for the month by The Options Clearing Corporation (''OCC'') in the month in which the discounted rate may apply. For example, May 2013 Total Industry Customer equity and ETF option ADV will be used in determining what, if any, discount a Firm may be eligible for on its electronic Firm transactions based on the amount of electronic Firm volume it executes in May 2013 relative to Total Industry Customer equity and ETF option ADV. Total Industry Customer equity and ETF option ADV comprises those equity and ETF contracts that clear in the customer account type at OCC and does not include contracts that clear in

Iowa Department of Public Health Bureau of Environmental Health Services
Frequently Asked Questions about Mold
Overview: Mold is a natural part of the outdoor environment. Mold is present in outdoor air at some level throughout the year. In order for mold to grow indoors, there must be a significant source of water, moisture or humidity.
How do I know if I have a mold problem?
If you see or smell mold in your home, you probably have some mold growth.
What causes mold?
Mold growth problems are ALWAYS caused by a moisture or water problem. It does no good to clean the mold if you haven't solved the water issue first.
Where should I look for mold?
Look for mold in places where there may be water issues (under sinks, in laundry rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, where a roof has leaked, in the basement, etc.).
Should I test my home for mold?
No. The Iowa Department of Public Health does NOT recommend testing for mold for several reasons:
* Mold is present at some level in outdoor air throughout the year so test results may be unreliable.
* Mold testing is very costly.
* It is very difficult, even for professionals, to get meaningful test results for mold.
* There are no regulatory levels or guidelines for comparing test results.
Will mold make me sick?
* Itchy or watery eyes, runny nose,
Mold can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. About 50% of the population of the United States is allergic to mold. If you are NOT allergic to mold, it is unlikely that you will have health effects from mold exposure. If you are allergic to mold, your reaction depends on how sensitive you are to mold. Symptoms of an allergic reaction are
* Sinus drainage,
* Cough.
* Respiratory discomfort, and
I've identified the area covered in mold, how do I clean it up?
If the material is non-porous (it will not absorb water) such as a concrete, tile or vinyl flooring, plastic patio furniture, plastic toys, tub surrounds, paneling, molding, etc., use a mild household detergent solution to wipe away the mold. If it is a porous surface (it will absorb water) such as drywall, carpeting, furniture, bedding, clothing, stuffed animals, books, etc., remove, discard, and replace the items or surfaces the mold is growing on.
It is not necessary to use bleach on mold, unless your intention is to disinfect the surface. If you choose to use bleach to disinfect an area or to remove mold stains, follow these guidelines:
2. Provide ventilation with a fan, open window, or door.
1. Clean the surface first and remove all debris.
3. Prepare the bleach solution according to the manufacturer's instructions. Keep the surface wet for 15 minutes before wiping it down.
5. Rinse the area with clean water.
4. Never mix bleach with ammonia or any other

"THE PRICE OF THE PROMISE"
Let me tell you a story... Mark Yarnell, minister in a small town in Texas, was headed for bankruptcy and just about to lose his car and home. He looked for a way out and discovered Network Marketing. Luckily, he had a wise sponsor. The sponsor gave Mark "THE PROMISE", "THIS BUSINESS CAN SET YOU FREE FINANCIALLY IN ONE TO THREE YEARS." But he also gave him "THE PRICE", "TO SUCCEED, YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE AND CONQUER 4 MAJOR ENEMIES."
Mark said, "It's a deal."
He then invited 200 friends over to his house to watch a video. 80 said "No, not interested." Mark had encountered ENEMY #1: Rejection.
He thought, "No problem. My sponsor warned me about that. I've got 120 people still coming over."
Guess what? 50 didn't show up. He had just met ENEMY #2: Deception. Mark thought, "No problem, my sponsor warned me about that. I've got 70 people who watched the tape." Guess what? 57 said, "Not interested." He had just encountered ENEMY #3: Discouragement.
Undaunted, Mark thought, "No problem. 13 people signed up."
Guess what? 12 of them dropped out of the business shortly thereafter.
This left mark with just one serious associate. To this day, that SINGLE distributor earns Mark over $50,000 per month!
ENEMY #4: Attrition;
You may have heard of Bill Britt, one of the most successful distributors in Amway. Some years ago, 20/20 did a feature story on Amway. They spent 19 minutes interviewing whiners and complainers – several distributors who had failed and showed their garages that were full of products that they couldn't sell.
During the last minute of the show, Mr. Britt was interviewed in front of his palatial home. He was asked, "Mr. Britt, this business has obviously worked for you. What's your secret?"
He replied, "There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 hundred people. About 900 said, 'No,' and only about 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did ANYTHING at all. Out of those 85 only 35 were serious, and out of those 35, 11 of them made me a millionaire!" Like Mark Yarnell, Bill Britt worked through the numbers.
Jason Boreyko, now President of New Vision, told this story recently... When he was a distributor in Matol, he signed up 50 people. He heard a lot of "No's" on the way to those 50. Jason took one man, who he knew would be terrific in the business, to lunch to tell him about the business and the man said, "No." Jason took the man to lunch again the next month and told him the updates. Once again the man said, "No." Jason sent him some more information and took him to lunch again the next month. And again the man said,
"No." That went on for six months. The seventh month, something had changed for the man, and he said, "Yes." That man made Jason over one million dollars. Jason also worked through his numbers.
According to Richard Poe in "Wave Three", while starting Amway, Rich Devos and Jay Van Andel, America's eleventh riches people, recruited 500 people. 495 dropped out. The five that didn't quit built Amway. All $7 Billion of Amway's business was built under those 5 people. Jay and Rich had to work through their numbers. There are many similar stories.
Here's the lesson:
Your success is directly related to the degree to which you are willing to work through YOUR numbers to find others like yourself who are committed to succeed. Mark Yarnell's odds were 1 out of 200. Bill Britt's were 11 out of 1200. Jason Boreyko's odds were 1 out of 50. Would you be willing to go through 200 people to find the 1 person who will make you $50,000 a month? Or go through 200 people to become a millionaire? Or hear uncounted "No's" to sign up 50 people to find a million dollar person? I hope you will…It's easier when you know the odds up front.
But here's the catch…You have your own set of odds and you won't know what they are until AFTER YOU'VE SUCCEEDED! So, if you've gone through 50 or 100 people and you haven't found your ONE serious person yet, you can either give up and assume the business doesn't work, or recognize that you are just working through your OWN numbers and will one day tell YOUR STORY!
It's your choice.
