FTSE® Defensive Kick Out Plan May 2020
Important Information
- Investing in this Plan puts your capital at risk. You may lose some, or all, of your investment.
- The Plan has been designed for a specific type of investor, as set out in this Brochure. The Plan may only be suitable for this type of investor.
- Meteor does not provide financial advice. You must take advice from a financial adviser, who will be able to help you assess whether the investment is suitable for you.
- You should conduct such independent investigation and analysis of the tax treatment of an investment as you feel appropriate, to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Plan.
- The information on taxation contained in the Brochure is based on our understanding of rates of tax, current legislation, regulations and practice, which are likely to change in the future and which may be backdated.

Plan Summary
Key Risks
Access to capital
- In normal market conditions, it is expected that Goldman Sachs International, London, UK (the Calculation Agent of the Securities) will provide pricing of the Securities for investors who need access to their capital before the Maturity Date. However, there is no guarantee that the Calculation Agent will provide pricing or that you will be able to redeem any investment before the Maturity Date, as the decision about whether market conditions are normal will be taken by the Calculation Agent (see Liquidity risks).
- If you need to encash the investment before maturity, and the Securities are able to be sold, their value will depend on a number of factors including current market conditions and you may receive significantly less than the money you invested. You will also have to pay an administration charge.
Counterparty risk
- The Issuer will be responsible for the payment to us of any return of capital and any investment return due from the Securities.
- It is possible that the Issuer and Guarantor could collapse or fail to make the payments due. If this happened you would lose some, or all, of your original investment, as well as any investment return to which you might otherwise have become entitled.
- The actual and perceived ability of the Issuer and Guarantor to meet their obligations may affect the market value of an investment over the term.
- In the event that the Issuer and Guantor fail to meet their obligations to pay the amounts due from the Securities, you will not be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ('FSCS').
Risk to capital and investment return
- This is a capital-at-risk product and you could lose some, or all, of the money you invest in the Plan.
- The amount you will get back is based on the Index. If the Final Level of the Index is less than 65% of its Opening Level, you will lose money and the amount you lose will be at least 35% of the amount invested, due to the nature of the capital protection barrier.
- It is possible that you will not receive an investment return.
- Any investment return may be less than the amount you would have received by investing directly in the Index.
The risks associated with this Plan are not limited to those listed above, but these are the key risks. Further risks are outlined on pages 16 & 17, 'Risks'.

Is the Plan right for me?
It's important to us that investors understand how the Plan works and are satisfied it will help them meet their investment objectives. We know that this Plan won't be right for everyone, and we have designed it to meet the investment objectives of investors with certain investment characteristics, which we call our 'target market'.
We cannot advise you if it meets your specific needs and requirements, or if you fall within our target market, and we require that you take financial advice from a financial adviser, who will be able to help you assess your investment objectives and advise you whether the Plan is suitable for you.
It can be difficult to categorise people's knowledge and understanding, but to help us make sure that this Plan could meet your needs we have set out below various attributes of different types of investors.
Basic
Investors having the following characteristics:
- Basic knowledge of relevant financial instruments - a basic investor can make an informed investment decision based on the regulated and authorised documentation or with the help of basic information provided.
- No financial industry experience, i.e. suited to a first time investor.
Investors having one, or more, of the following characteristics:
- Average knowledge of relevant financial products - an informed investor can make an informed investment decision based on the regulated and authorised documentation, together with knowledge and understanding of the specific factors/risks highlighted within them only.
- Some financial industry experience.
Investors having one, or more, of the following characteristics:

Is the Plan right for me? - continued
To assist your decision making process, we have set out below the characteristics of a typical investor within the target market for this Plan. This is for guidance only and we require you to speak to a financial adviser, who will be able to assess your investment objectives and advise you whether the Plan is suitable for you.
A typical investor who invests in this Plan will:
ü Be an Advanced Investor, with appropriate knowledge and experience of equity-based investments;
ü Like investments that provide known returns based on pre-determined market outcomes;
ü Want the potential to secure an investment return above that available from a deposit-based investment and acknowledge and accept the level of risk, identified by the Summary Risk Indicator set out in the Key Information Document (KID);
ü Be willing and able to tie up their money for the term of the Plan for the objective of capital growth;
ü Accept that they would lose money and be able to afford to do so;
ü Understand that in the event of a loss that this loss would be at least 35% of the money they put into the Plan, and could be considerably more, and in extreme circumstances they could lose all of their money;
ü Understand that any investment return is dependent on the performance of the Index, which is calculated on set dates, and accept they might not get any investment return at all;
ü Know that the level of the Index can fall but do not expect the fall to be more than 35% of its Opening Level at the Final Measurement Date;
ü Appreciate the importance of having a spread of investments to reduce concentration risk;
ü Know and accept that inflation reduces the real value of money and what it can buy;
ü Understand that equity markets are affected by economic and political events nationally and globally;
ü Accept that if the Counterparty defaults they could lose all their money and any investment return and that they would not have any recourse to the FSCS.
An investor will not meet the target market criteria if:
û They do not understand how this investment works;
û They are unable, or unwilling, to accept the risks associated with this Plan, including the loss of their money;
û The Plan does not meet their investment objectives.
The information provided on this page is not investment advice or an investment recommendation. It is designed to provide some guidance as to the possible future risks and rewards of this Plan.

How the Plan works
An investment in the Plan constitutes a contractual arrangement with Meteor Asset Management Limited. We will use your money to acquire Securities, on your behalf, which are designed to have the characteristics required to achieve the investment objectives of the Plan.
We will invest your money in Securities issued by Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany and guaranteed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Delaware, US. These Securities can be viewed in a similar way to a loan to Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany, which it undertakes to repay at maturity. In its role as Guarantor for these Securities, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Delaware, US undertakes to make the payments under the Securities if Goldman, Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany is unable to fulfil its payment obligations.
The potential investment return and return of any capital from the Plan are linked to the performance of the FTSE 100 Index and are also dependent on the ability of the Issuer to make the payments due from the Securities.
The Plan offers the potential for an enhanced return

- If you are sending funds via bank transfer (BACS or CHAPS) please check with your bank to confirm whether its payment system transfers funds instantly or whether there is a clearing period, which can be up to three working days, before cleared funds will be received in the Meteor client account.

This Plan may be held:
By individuals
As an individual, jointly, or on behalf of a child under the age of 18.
By pension arrangements
There are three types of ISA - a cash ISA, a stocks and shares ISA and an Innovative Finance ISA. In a tax year you may invest in any type of ISA, or a combination of all three, as long as the overall subscription limit for the year is not exceeded. However, you may not subscribe to more than one of each type of ISA in the same tax year.
The trustees, subject to the terms of your scheme, can hold plans as a permitted investment within any type of pension arrangement, including a SIPP and a SSAS.
By trustees/companies/partnerships
Subject to relevant articles of association permitting such an investment.
As Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and ISA transfers
You are also able to invest in an ISA by transferring the value of an existing ISA or ISAs to a new ISA manager. The ISA which receives the transfer does not have to be the same type of ISA as the transferring ISA. The minimum value for ISA transfers to this Plan is £5,000, with no maximum limit.
It is possible for the spouse or civil partner of a person who has died whilst holding an investment in an ISA or ISAs to make additional ISA subscriptions over the annual subscription limit. Please refer to "What happens to the Plan if I die?" on page 19 for further details.
Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) were launched in the UK in 1999 to encourage people to save. They allow you to save and invest without paying any tax on returns you make from your investment in the Plan. Because of the tax advantages there is a limit on the amount that you can subscribe to ISAs in any one tax year. The subscription limit for the 2020/21 tax year is £20,000.
The Plan is available to residents of the United Kingdom only. If you become a resident of the United States, please inform us.

David Stoldt, General Manager Monterey Peninsula Water Management District P.O. Box 85 Monterey, CA 93942-0085
Dear Mr. Stoldt,
I was able to attend the Seaside meeting of the Board's listening tour and want first of all to thank you and the Board for holding this and several other meetings. I did not speak at that meeting because I wanted to listen to others and get a better feel for the concept of "feasibility". I'm glad I waited because my own thoughts gelled afterward.
Although the various measures of feasibility that were listed on the sheets passed out at the meeting are okay as far as they go, I have a different view of feasibility. While some voters may have supported Measure J for any of the reasons you listed, or for other reasons, there is no way for the district to determine how many voters support of the suggested definitions. But what we do know is the over 55% of the voters supported Measure J which is a significant call for public ownership. So, my thought is that the Board should focus on trying to come up with a way to make public ownership feasible.
I'd be happy to clarify or amplify my comments if that would be of assistance to you.
Sincerely,
Renee Franken 83 Via Descanso Monterey, CA 93940 831-375-4130

INTERNAL AUDIT DIVISION
REPORT 2020/008
Audit of medical services in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Mission needed to improve medical arrangements to ensure timely and responsive medical care in all emergencies and optimal utilization of its medical facilities
8 May 2020 Assignment No. AP2019-620-01
Audit of medical services in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) conducted an audit of medical services in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). The objective of the audit was to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services in MONUSCO and their compliance with established guidelines. This audit covered the period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2019 and included a review of medical support arrangements and performance of medical services.
MONUSCO's response and preparedness to the Ebola outbreak were adequate. However, the Mission's medical support arrangements were not fully effective to ensure timely and responsive medical care in all medical emergencies. Additionally, the utilization rate of several clinics/hospitals was low because they were located close to one another in the same area/camp, and there was a need to ensure optimal use of the Mission's medical facilities.
OIOS made five recommendations. To address issues identified in the audit, MONUSCO needed to:
* Establish adequate medical support arrangements in Beni to ensure timely and responsive medical care to its personnel in all medical emergencies;
* Conduct a comprehensive analysis of its medical facilities and take appropriate action to ensure their optimal utilization;
* Regularly rehearse its mass casualty response plan;
* Systematically collect and analyze performance data of all medical service contractors against established indicators and monitor them to ensure their services fully meet expected quality standards; and
* Establish a policy on recovery of costs for medical evacuations provided to non-United Nations entities.
While the audit was conducted prior to the COVID-19 crisis, the recommendations remain relevant. MONUSCO accepted the recommendations and have initiated action to implement them.
CONTENTS
Audit of medical services in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
I. BACKGROUND
1. The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) conducted an audit of medical services in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO).
2. The MONUSCO Medical Section is responsible for coordinating delivery of medical care and preventive services to Mission personnel comprising 15,457 military, 1,148 police and 4,155 civilian staff. Medical services are provided through United Nations-owned (9 Level I medical facilities) and contingentowned facilities (39 Level I, 2 Level II and 1 Level III facilities). The Section oversees medical evacuation arrangements with contracted medical facilities comprising one Level II facility in Kinshasa, two Level III facilities in Kampala, and one Level IV facility in Nairobi. From 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2019, MONUSCO provided services to 271,071 outpatients and 9,906 inpatients consisting of MONUSCO personnel, staff of United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations, as well as the local population.
3. The Medical Section is headed by a Chief Medical Officer (CMO) at the P-5 level who reports to the Chief of Service Delivery. The CMO works in close cooperation with the Force Medical Officer (FMO). The Section has 68 authorized posts comprising 12 international and 37 national staff and 19 United Nations volunteers. The approved budgets for the Medical Section for fiscal years 2017/18 and 2018/19 were $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In addition, $1.0 million was included in the Mission's travel budget for medical evacuation in each of the fiscal years.
4. Comments provided by MONUSCO are incorporated in italics.
II. AUDIT OBJECTIVE, SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY
5. The objective of the audit was to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services in MONUSCO and their compliance with established guidelines.
6. This audit was included in the 2019 risk-based work plan of OIOS due to health, operational and financial risks related to the management of medical services in MONUSCO.
7. OIOS conducted this audit from May to September 2019; prior to the COVID-19 crisis. The audit covered the period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2019. Based on an activity-level risk assessment, the audit covered higher and medium risk areas pertaining to medical support arrangements and performance of medical services.
8. The audit methodology included: interviews of key personnel; review of relevant documentation; analytical review of data; and visits to 27 out of 51 medical facilities in Goma, Kinshasa, Bunia and Entebbe.
9. The audit was conducted in accordance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing.
III. AUDIT RESULTS
A. Medical support arrangements
Need to improve medical arrangements to ensure timely and responsive medical care in all emergencies
10. MONUSCO had a medical support plan that was approved in August 2019, which reflected the Mission's current operating environment, and adequately detailed the medical services and emergency arrangements including medical/casualty evacuation (medevac/casevac) of troop and police contributing countries (T/PCC) personnel through a network of 51 medical facilities and five aeromedical teams (AMET). OIOS visits to 27 medical facilities showed that they met the United Nations Medical Support Manual (Manual) minimum recommended standards.
11. Since July 2019, the Mission has conducted two "train the trainer" sessions and monthly training on administering first aid and prevention of infection and blood loss controls for all T/PCCs. Additionally, during its inspections of contingent-owned equipment, the Mission had started checking that all T/PCCs have first aid training certificates and first aid kits with combat application tourniquets.
12. However, medical support arrangements did not fully meet the 10-1-2 timeline concept in responding to emergencies, which requires access to skilled first aid within 10 minutes of the point of injury; advanced life support no later than one hour; and limb and lifesaving surgery no later than two hours. Approximately 3,255 T/PCC personnel in Beni, where the most active military operations were taking place, were farther than one hour by road and/or by flight from the nearest hospital capable of providing advanced care. There were also insufficient medical staff to form and dispatch forward medical teams to provide first response. AMET staff estimated, based on their experience, that the average time to deploy was 30 minutes whereas the Aviation Section required an average of 45 to 60 minutes for an aircraft to take off, hampering the timeliness of medical response. Additionally, analysis undertaken by the Mission in 2017, showed that the response time exceeded the required 10-1-2 timeline.
13. To address above, in December 2018, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General sent a code cable to the erstwhile Departments of Peacekeeping and Field Support to upgrade some contingentowned Level I facilities in Beni to Level I Plus or relocate a Level II facility from Bunia to Beni. However, as of the date of the audit, no action had been taken due to inadequate follow-up and coordination between the Mission and the departments in United Nations Headquarters, and as a result, the Mission had insufficient ability to provide timely and responsive medical care to its personnel in medical emergencies.
(1) MONUSCO should establish adequate medical support arrangements in Beni to ensure timely and responsive medical care in all medical emergencies.
MONUSCO accepted recommendation 1 and stated that it had recognized the importance of higher level of medical care provider at Level I Plus or Level II and would revisit its proposal to determine the best fit for placement of medical services in accordance with its operational requirements. The Mission had invited the countries contributing Force Intervention Brigades to provide forward surgical teams and thus far one country has now deployed a forward surgical team in Beni. Additional long term options were also being considered for augmenting Mission's medical and surgical capabilities in Beni in line with the Mission's footprint and configuration. Recommendation 1 remains open pending receipt of evidence of actions taken to ensure timely and responsive medical care in all medical emergencies.
Utilization of medical facilities was low
14. Peacekeeping missions are encouraged to ensure cost-efficiency of their medical support arrangements, including by considering the integrated modular services concept 1, the location of and distance between medical facilities and where applicable, upgrading existing facilities.
15. OIOS analysis showed that the average utilization rate of medical facilities across the Mission during the audit period was 32 per cent. This was because both contingent-owned and United Nationsowned Level I medical facilities were deployed in the same area/camp, and the Mission had not considered utilizing the integrated modular services concept to achieve cost-efficiency. Also, the Mission had not established a benchmark or analyzed utilization of its medical facilities. For example, in Bukavu, there were one United Nations-owned Level I and one contingent-owned Level II as well as eight contingent-owned Level I facilities, and the average utilization rate of these facilities was 9 per cent, as shown in Chart 1.
16. The above resulted because

personal development and group counselling sessions on grieving support and intervention after critical incidents. In addition, the Unit provided its services to more than 2,300 staff and visited 11 regional sectors. These services included individual and emergency counselling, stress and
psychological support to staff during the Mission reconfiguration and counselling to staff impacted by attacks by enemy forces. Furthermore, the Unit provided counselling services to staff affected by the closure of operations in 8 locations and the downsizing of staff in 11 others. The Unit was also in the process of reaching out to all sections/units in the Mission to identify their needs for counselling services.
Subsequent to the audit, the Mission issued a reminder to medical facilities on proper storage of blood and blood products
25. MONUSCO is required to establish a reliable supply of blood and coordinate its distribution, transport, storage and disposal within the Mission adhering to the World Health Organization's guidelines for storing blood and blood products to ensure their safety and quality.
26. During the audit period, MONUSCO received and distributed 876 units of blood to two contingentowned Level II facilities in Bunia and Bukavu, one contingent-owned Level III facility in Goma and two contracted Level III facilities in Kinshasa and Kampala using a systems contract established by the United Nations Procurement Division. During a field visit to a Level II medical facility in Bunia, OIOS observed that blood was stored in a refrigerator with other medicines without any temperature control. Subsequent to the audit, the FMO issued a reminder to contingent-owned medical facilities to properly store and handle human blood and blood products as per established standards.
The Mission directed all contingents on established procedures for use, storage and disposal of medicines
27. The Mission is required to ensure efficient use and safe storage of medicines and properly dispose of medical waste to minimize health and environmental exposure.
28. All 27 medical facilities visited by OIOS maintained the required minimum stock of medicines and medical supplies. However, some contingents brought the minimum required medicine supplies during every troop rotation without considering existing stock levels, which resulted in overstocking because of low usage of certain medicines. One contingent donated to the local clinics drugs and medicines that were nearing expiration, increasing health and safety risks to the local community.
29. OIOS observed that contingents did not adequately follow the established procedures for the United Nations medicine inventory management and disposal of medical waste. For example, six contingentowned medical facilities had 130 expired medicines, with three of them not properly isolating expired medicines from the non-expired. Three medical facilities did not maintain recommended temperature for medicine storage, and at another facility, expired medicine was dumped in open air. In Goma, the expired medicines transported by some contingent medical facilities for incineration were left unattended near the Mission's industrial incinerator for several days, posing health and safety risks, as well as reputational risk to the Mission if wrongfully used. This was because the contingents did not coordinate with the Medical Section and the Environment Protection Unit to arrange for immediate disposal of expired drugs and medicines or adequate storage pending incineration.
30. Subsequent to the audit, the FMO issued a directive to all contingent-owned facilities to: consider existing stock levels before ordering replenishment during rotation; properly secure controlled medicines; and dispose expired medicines by incineration in accordance with established procedures. The Medical Section also placed a container for storing expired medicine until incineration. Hence, OIOS did not make a recommendation on this.
Need for a policy on recovery of costs for medevacs provided to non-Mission entities
31. Relevant guidelines allow MONUSCO to carry out medevacs/casevacs of non-United Nations personnel on cost recovery basis. During the audit period, the Mission conducted 1,723 medevacs/ casevacs (153 casevacs, 1,507 medevacs and 63 follow-up medevacs) out of the DRC. These 1,723 evacuations were undertaken by using the Mission's special and routine flights in 996 and 586 cases respectively, commercial flights in 40 cases and combinations of these flights in 35 cases and by using ground transportation in 66 cases. Of the 1,723 medevacs/casevacs conducted during the audit period, 345 were conducted at the request of the Armed Forces of the DRC and non-governmental organizations such as Médecins Sans Frontières and the International Committee of the Red Cross based on humanitarian grounds and not directly related to the support of the Mission's mandate implementation. Because there was no clear policy, the Mission could not recover the cost of these 345 medevacs/casevacs which totaled $1.8 million.
(5) MONUSCO should establish a policy on providing medical evacuations for non-United Nations entities on humanitarian grounds, including the cost recovery arrangements, if deemed appropriate.
MONUSCO accepted recommendation 5 and stated that the medevac services to other United Nations entities was on cost reimbursement basis based on established memoranda of understandings. The $1.8 million mentioned above related to humanitarian medevacs for the DRC war related civilian causalities to save life, limb and eye and cannot be recovered. The Mission would however establish a policy to provide guidance on conducting aero-medical evacuation to transport war related casualties on humanitarian grounds. Recommendation 5 remains open pending receipt of a copy of the policy for conducting medical evacuation for non-United Nations entities and relevant cost recovery arrangements.

Connecting electrical cables to power sources
The DC-to-DC power supply is used to power certain vehicle-mount computers (VMCs) or to provide vehicle power to certain hand-held computers (HHCs) when placed in a DC powered vehicle dock or cradle.
Please refer to the appropriate wiring schematic on the following pages for wiring colors and connections:
Figures 1a and 1b – Thor VX8 and Thor VX9 Vehicle Mounted Computers
Figures 2a and 2b – Thor VM1, Thor VM2 and Thor VM3 Vehicle Mounted Computers
Figure 3 – Marathon Vehicle Dock
Figure 4 – MX3Plus, MX7, MX7 Tecton and MX9 Vehicle Mounted Cradles
Connecting the Vehicle Electrical Connection
Please review the proper wiring illustration, later in this document, before beginning power cable install. If connecting a VMC, the computer must be powered off. If connecting a HHC cradle/dock, the cradle must be empty.
1. Connect the power cable to the VMC or the HHC cradle.
2. Route the cable from the VMC or HHC cradle to the DC-to-DC converter and, optionally for some VMCs, to the screen blanking box.
3. Cut the cable to length and strip the wire ends. If the screen blanking feature is not used for the Thor VX8 or Thor VX9, do not strip the green and yellow wires.
4. Route the power cable the shortest way possible. The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F). When routing this cable, it should be protected from physical damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature. Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate. Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehicle.
5. Remove the lid from the DC-to-DC converter.
6. Strip the ends of the wires in the cable from the VMC or HHC cradle and attach the wire ends to the output side of the DC-to-DC converter.
7. Strip the ends of the wires in the cable that will connect to vehicle power and attach the wire ends to the input side of the DC-to-DC converter.
Note: The input and output blocks each have two + and two – minus connectors. Either connector in the block can be used to connect the matching polarity wire.
The input and output blocks also each have two (chassis ground).connections. When the diagram indicates a chassis ground connection, use either chassis ground connector in each block.
Note: Wire colors depend on the type of device attached. Please refer to the illustrations later in this document for wire colors.
8. Use looms and wire ties to secure all wiring as shown.
9. Reattach the cover with the screws.
10. If the screen blanking box is used for a Thor VX8 or Thor VX9 installation, attach the stripped green and yellow wire ends to the box. Refer to the applicable following diagram for proper wiring connection.
11. If the screen blanking box is used for a Thor VM1 or Thor VM2 installation, connect a serial cable from the COM port on the Mount Smart Dock to the box. Refer to the applicable following diagram for proper wiring connection.
12. Connect the DC-to-DC converter to the vehicle's electrical system.
13. While observing the fuse requirements specified above, connect the power cable as close as possible to the actual battery terminals of the vehicle. When available, always connect to unswitched terminals in the vehicle fuse panel, after providing proper fusing.
ATTENTION:For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made at any point after the ignition switch of the vehicle.
14. If the screen blanking box is used for a VMC installation, connect the box to vehicle motion circuitry and ground. Refer to the applicable following diagram and the label on the screen blanking box for proper wiring connection.
15. Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized "crimp" type electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG (1mm 2 ) conductors.
16. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot intervals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate the outer cable jacket.

Feast of Unleavened Bread Chosen by God
The Jewish Roots of Christianity
Feast of Unleavened Bread
Where Passover pictures for us the saving work of the Lamb's blood, the Feast of Unleavened Bread gives us an image of being saved by His life. At Passover, the Israelites were marked by the blood of the Lamb as belonging to God's protection and salvation. The period of the Feast of Unleavened bread was their movement out of slavery, into freedom. Some believe that the Red Sea crossing, and the defeat of the Egyptian army happened on the final day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. They literally passed through the waters into freedom from slavery - a tremendous image of our own salvation. We have been marked as His, now we move toward that mark.
Leaven is a powerful image of sin used throughout Scripture. What would it mean to be consciously and intensely focused for one week each year in examining ourselves and rooting out the leaven in our lives? To spend a holy seven days of introspection, inspecting every corner of our lives for the leaven that would corrupt us? Spring cleaning indeed!

Representing the Unrepresentable:
The Traumatic Affect
An Honors Thesis By
Daniel Ariew
Thesis Directed by
Dr. Alexander T. Levine
With Readers and Panelists
Dr. Douglas Jesseph
And
Dr. Joanne Waugh
I. Introduction
Notions of the representation of trauma have been plaguing philosophers, historians, psychologists and others, each in their respective fields, as they attempted to solve problems on the subject. The questions range in complexity from, "Does the representation of trauma reinforce trauma beyond our abilities to do justice to trauma itself?" "Can traumatic experiences be represented by any direct means?" While the list of topics goes on for quite some length, I try to will make a contribution toward disentangling a small aspect of these related issues, namely how we can represent a traumatic experience, something that by definition is not conscious to another generation.
Representation is an aesthetic quality in which one can attempt to manifest the intangible into the tangible, and if represented properly, into another person's perhaps intangible characteristics, such as their emotions. The purpose of representation is replication of a thought and emotion into another person's mind. As humans we attempt to represent thoughts and emotions constantly in order to try to reach mutual understanding with one another. These representations are commonplace and completely conscious to our minds.
However, a traumatic affect, the mind and body's response to an extreme event, cannot be represented directly in the same manner as common thoughts and emotions. The complexity of traumatic damage on the brain separates the traumatic event to the unconscious mind, thus the commonplace first-person narrative that conveys both the historical and emotional context of an experience becomes unusable.
I will first define the traumatic affect and the nature of its causes, so as to identify the problems that allow the circumvention of direct representation. I will then argue that representation can be achieved through two distinct indirect approaches that allow for representation with distinct limitations. While the two approaches contrast in methodology and medium, each allows various aspects of trauma to be represented, while not simultaneously, in near-totality. The two approaches that shall be discussed are Daniel Libeskind's "spaces of encounter" and Marianne Hirsch's concept of "postmemory." These theories will also attempt to show that the representations yielded by these means will not cause identification for the subject attempting to understand the traumatic event and further suffering in him or her.
In another approach to the problems posed by representation, if one is to analyze the work of Plato, one has reason to suspect that Plato also realized the same problem of direct representation in his dialogues. Through his character Socrates, Plato describes many philosophical notions of truth, justice, and other concepts, through metaphor. The Republic does not give a philosophical treatise about Forms and the Form of the Good; instead it provides its audience the allegory of the cave, a narrative that describes an experience in order to convey its meaning. Plato seemed to understand that an attempt to explain his philosophy directly would be futile. Socrates is often referred as a stinging gadfly, somebody who, in a way, stings people out of complacency. He leaves them almost in shock and awe, best described in Greek as thauma, which is much like a traumatic experience.
In application, one can find that this study of the traumatic affect and its representation can pose radical problems for the history of the philosophy of science. The nature of the traumatic affect and the theory of postmemory are quintessential parts to understanding the problems of representation of the trauma, but, also help identify a crucial problem in a commonly argued notion of philosophy of science: first-person historical perspective. The nature of traumatic affect will show that unreliability of first-person narrative poses major problems for the theories of Larry Laudan, a widely known philosopher of science.
Seeing that our direct proper methods of representation are invalid in the case of trauma, can trauma be represented at all? If it can be represented, are there limits of the representation? Wouldn't a proper representation lead to empathetic identification and thus only exceed the suffering caused by original event? These are some of the questions I wish to grapple with in this honors thesis.
II. The Traumatic Affect
For many scholars traumatic affect cannot be given a simplistic, firm definition. Over history, trauma has appeared in various descriptions at many times with many names. The notion of trauma can be described in many ways due to the variance of the situations that cause it (Caruth, 181). Seeing as the argument at hand refers to aesthetic representations of trauma, the definition pertains to the norm representations changed by the extreme traumatic event. Trauma is a psychological response brought upon by a clear violation of one's own mental representations of the world due to an extreme horrible event. Given this excessive event; one cannot possibly perceive the event in its normal representation due to one's normal expectations of the world. The event is naturally is outside the scope of the possible for the traumatized victim whose worldly representations vary due to personal background such as cultural, ethic, racial and social distinctions (Ginsburg, 29)
The common phrase that comes to mind in this sense of ideas of mental violation is, "such and such happens in the world, but it will never happen to me." Enforced by the rarity of an event, it seems that, before it has taken place it, could not possibly happen. Because of this event, the mind then goes into shock and does not have the ability to transmit the impression of the event onto the conscious mind. Yet, the actual experience does remains in the mind unassimilated in its entirety (Ginsburg).
The trauma itself transcends the literal reference to the experience and lies dormant within the subconscious mind, instead of allowing the mind to be plagued by it constantly. Upon recall, the victim seems to only remember being in the
encounter very vividly, but understands entirely the events from an objective standpoint. The mind's reaction to the apparent change of world representations is to become dehumanized and to delete the human perspective in preference for the observing eye (Ginsburg, 29).
Even aside from a traumatized victim, the mind will commonly dehumanize an observation to allow its mental capacities to move on. Such example an example of this is one of my own experiences. While walking on the streets of Paris, I observed a motorcyclist clip the leg of a pedestrian, causing him to fly up in the air like a ragdoll. Let me emphasize, upon leaving the ground the pedestrian seemed to lose his status as a human, and became an object, "like a ragdoll." My mind's quick dehumanization of the pedestrian was a defensive tactic similar to that of a trauma victim; the difference lies in mind's far stronger response to an extreme situation happening to itself, rather than to another human. As I attempt to imagine what the "ragdoll" went through, my mind refuses and does not want to inflict trauma upon itself.
III. Freud and Moses
One can see the difficulty that arises in representation due to the nature of the mind's response. Without the mind's conscious effort to provide even itself with a narrative form of the extreme event, there cannot be any direct approach to the information. The recounting of the event from the victim will be purely objective, and may be primarily correct factually, thus a representation of the event and its details may be given, but no recollection of the emotional construct that is the representation of trauma may be left (Caruth, 181).
Even though by nature this flaw in traumatic recollection has always existed, it was not until the 1980s and the following decades in which the problem became a serious debate within the community of clinical psychologists. Within that time, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) finally approved PostTraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, as an official disorder, and many institutes began to pop up to help trauma victims—either veterans or disaster survivors. After a decade of actions in regards to trauma, PTSD had become a household word. After the mental healthcare industry had finally stabilized, the discussions turned to question about the representation of the experiences, and question of proper memory transfer through their representation to a younger generation (Tal, 1).
As the studies and literature began to climb, the discussion shifted quickly to the concept of memory in regards to trauma and interpretation. The body of literature involving trauma and memory has had a clear acceptance by Sigmund Freud as the "illuminator of the human psyche" (Tal, 2), given that Freud wrote extensively on traumatic experiences, processes and events.

alone becomes too small to test competing theories – more data is required to make the "true" rational choice than the rational choices of the past. Laudan's answer is indubitably HOS2. The philosopher of HOS2 studies the work of historians of science; this philosopher uses the normative judgments and their philosophical models of rationality to create a superseding judgment (Laudan, 161).
VII. HOS2 and The Historical Account
Laudan establishes that philosophers of science use HOS1 to construct their philosophical models of rationality; the philosopher needs HOS1 for this reason alone. Yet, the relationship of HOS2 remains far more complicated for it remains contingent on historical narrative and the value of historical explanation. Laudan does not deny that HOS2 carries a few limitations on how much the philosopher can acquire from it (Laudan, 164). Clearly, when a historian chronicles the story of a scientific event, the historian does not want to overburden his reader with unnecessary information. In consequence, only the author deems what is considered necessary information. According to Laudan, the ideological differences between two historians of science does not necessarily be a problem, yet Laudan continues on to argue that it is the duty of the historian of science to apply a standardized norm to his accounts of science (Laudan, 165).
Finally, Laudan is able to bridge the gap between HOS1 and HOS2, through the historian of science. He claims, "The task of the historian of science is to write an account (HOS2) of episodes in the history of science (HOS1)" (Laudan, 165). A historian of science should have the philosopher of science in their mind, which should influence his work to indicate what factors he should include in his historical account.
Historical understanding and historical explanation, to Laudan, is as a deeper level of normative judgments within HOS2. Historical explanation comes into play when one is posed a question that cannot be evaluated by mere rationale for it. It is not uncommon for a historical account to raise questions of rationality. Yet, if a
situation does not conform to the norms of science, and the theory does not follow the evidence posed for it, Laudan proposes we must look the historical account to reconstruct the factual information that caused the irrationality (Laudan, 167). He relies on a first-person narrative to fill the holes in his framework of HOS1 and HOS2.
VIII. The Traumatic Fall of the Historical Account.
In the previous section, we analyzed a partition of the philosophy of science, which Laudan introduced to create distinctions between actual science, HOS1 and the historical record of science, HOS2. As our work on trauma can indicate, such divisions cannot be made of philosophy of science because of the very nature of the historical record. There cannot be an HOS1 apart from HOS2, given the possibility that first-person narratives are unreliable.
Although trauma is a marginal phenomenon, the traumatic affect creates a clear-cut alteration to the mind's perception of an event upon recall. While one isn't to go as far as to claim that science is like a traumatic experience, which cannot be represented in first-person narrative, one can at least emphasize the necessity that, first-person accounts must be interpreted, analyzed, double-checked against other narratives pertaining to the same topic. Historical accounts, even if they do not involve traumatic experience, will still remain stilted and biased. Laudan even addressed the fact that historians of science have their own conceptual ideologies on what is vital to the historical record that they are creating, thus leaving those records even further skewed from the original happenings.
Not unlike Freud's reimagined story of the Moses and Monotheism, HOS2 and its historical records could very much be a representation of that which is lost by conveying the event through the eyes of the historian. If one can recall, the historical facts of Freud's story were entirely fabricated, yet if the story were true, Freud includes many subtexts which would align itself to contemporary time. However, in the case of history of science, Laudan attempts to justify the stilted first-person
claims with the historical resources within HOS2, which are also unreliable. Without a doubt, we have made full circle through both HOS1 and HOS2, which together remain one with the philosophy of science. There is no Archimedean point from which any of us can stand.
To relate back to the central theme of representation, we must again look to Marianne Hirsh's theory of postmemory. The theory of postmemory implies that the first-person narratives of trauma victims are surely unreliable, so any attempt to reach a representation of the traumatic affect and emotion is not obtainable directly through the victim. If one compares this to Laudan's philosophy, one can see that the first-generation victims of trauma are similar to the scientists who practice in HOS1. While not likely that the scientists giving first-person accounts have a psychological block against conveying a narrative of their work, their accounts will still be skewed. Rather, the scientists and their first-person accounts convey a rather familiar sense of factual regurgitation of the events, but cannot properly represent the extensive processes upon which man has made their greatest discoveries. Isn't the extensive process leading up to brilliant science that exactly what the philosophers of science are searching so diligently for?
Continuing on with the postmemory comparison, the historians of science of HOS2 produce work similar to that of the second generation. Both take the attempted first-person historical records of the event, and mean to produce a viable representation while explaining aspects that the first person account could not. The difference between them lies in the notion of being a member of the second generation. Rather than attempting to work from the defective facts of a first person
narrative, the second generation begins to work on their representation far before they, themselves, know what they will create. Even the work of the most apt historian of science fails to compare to the many years of experience that the second generation acquires when they live with their traumatized first generation member.
In conclusion, while Laudan's attempt at finding a methodology that illustrates the structural relationships within the philosophy of science between scientists, historians and philosophers, he fails to see that his division of philosophy of science is not really a division at all. First-person accounts cannot rationally be considered as reliable, not unlike the mind of a trauma survivor.
IX. Conclusion
To properly represent trauma, to allow others to receive these events from an emotional standpoint, one must sacrifice the historical information at hand. To truly feel traumatic experience, one needs narrative and humanization to relate to something the primary observer cannot recount directly to his or her audience.
As you can see, the generational practice of postmemory and Daniel Libeskind's spaces of encounters allow for the representation of this widely unapproachable notion, and the enigma surrounding such a representation can be emotionally deciphered for explanation of the struggles of extreme events such as the Holocaust. As for the philosophers of science, it is absolutely essentially to be weary of the first-person accounts of historical perspectives, as well as the possible bias of the historians of science.
Through all of this one can see that representing what cannot be represented provides difficulty at all levels of philosophical inquiry. Plato's account of the allegory provided a narrative form of explanation that was able to relay his philosophy to others without direct speech. Like Plato, we all must realize that many concepts cannot be told to one another, but must be expressed in a more abstract way that the mind can truly experience.

Backhoe loaders and telehandlers use stabilizer arms to enable safe and productive machine operation. These hydraulically actuated arms extend out from the machine to provide a wide, stable base when using the backhoe (backhoe loader) or when lifting loads (telehandler). The pads used on the end of the stabilizer arms are either grouser type or street type. Grouser-type pads use metal grousers to provide firm contact on loose materials. Street-type pads use rubber pads bolted to the metal grousers to provide firm contact on pavement or concrete while preventing damage to the surface. Damaged or worn pads should be replaced to ensure continued safe machine operation and to prevent potential damage to paved/concrete surfaces.

Procedures for Policy 1131: Motorized Utility Vehicles
Purpose
To establish standards for the safe use and operation of motorized utility vehicles (MUVs). This applies to the operation of motorized utility vehicles and other similar seated devices on all campus property, irrespective of whether the utility vehicle is owned by the University or another party. MUVs are defined as motorized utility vehicles not licensed under the laws of Virginia, and powered by electric or internal combustion motors. Examples include golf carts, Cushman vans, Bobcat utility carts, gators, ATVs and other similar devices; but do not include lawn and construction equipment, powered wheelchairs, electric bicycles, or scooters. These utility vehicles may be used to transport equipment and people, patrol the campus grounds, make deliveries, and provide campus maintenance activities.
Authorized Use
The acquisition and use of MUVs at George Mason University is limited to GMU departments upon demonstration of Valid Business Use and approval by the Office of Parking and Transportation. Only utility vehicles owned or leased by the University or contractors and approved by Parking and Transportation may be operated on campus. MUVs used by non-Mason entities must be approved by Office of Parking and Transportation prior to use on university property. Contractors may be approved if there is a Valid Business Use and the contractor agrees to follow the GMU MUV policy regarding safety, routing, marking and registration of MUVs. Valid Business Use is defined as "Transporting personnel, equipment, or supplies for the university as well as transporting employees and students with temporary or permanent disability needs."
Part I: Instructions for Operators
A. Sanctions:
Failure to follow these procedures, render common practices or courtesies, or follow rules of the road for the Commonwealth of Virginia, could result in citation, appropriate disciplinary action, and/or suspension of operator's MUV driving privileges. Enforcement efforts for repeat offenders may escalate to include issuing a "No Trespass" order to the utility vehicle operator, impounding the utility vehicle at operator expense or otherwise removing or restricting the utility vehicle and/or operator from campus.
B. Before Driving
1. MUV Operators must:
a. Have a valid Driver's License on file with no major traffic offenses.
b. Read this document and then sign the GMU Motorized Utility Vehicles Policy Acknowledgement Form.
c. Obtain prior written approval if they plan to operate another department's registered MUV.
d. Disconnect all battery charger cords before using the MUV.
e. Not be under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or medications that affect operation.
f. Be over the age of eighteen (18).
2. MUVs owned or leased by George Mason University may only be used for official University business by University employees, contracted employees, student employees, and University approved volunteers associated with a University department. George Mason MUVs will be operated only within the confines of George Mason University owned or leased property.
C. Driving:
1. Knowledge of and compliance with applicable state laws, rules, regulations and policies are the responsibility of the operator. Violators may be cited by police.
2. MUV operators must follow these operating rules:
a. MUVs must have all wheels touching the ground/roadway at all times.
b. MUVs must be driven on roads unless a road is unavailable. MUVs should use bike lanes when available. MUVs may not drive on sidewalks when a road is available.
c. MUVs must be operated at speeds no greater than 15 MPH.
d. Maximum speed on sidewalks must not exceed the speed of pedestrian traffic present.
e. MUVs must not impede or interfere with normal pedestrian or vehicular traffic flow on sidewalks, ramps or roadways. Operators must not follow or pass closely or intimidate pedestrians. If the MUV must be on a landscaped area in order to allow pedestrians the proper right-of-way, it should be brought to a full stop, then immediately returned to the designated driving surface as soon as the area is clear.
f. Operators should always consider terrain, weather conditions and existing pedestrian and vehicular traffic which may affect the ability to operate the MUV safely.
g. Operators must stop at all "blind" intersections, sound horn then proceed with caution.
h. Operators must never back up without looking to see what is behind the MUV.
i. Smoking in an MUV is not permitted, either when sitting idle or moving.
j. Operators must not wear headphones, use cell phones or use/operate any other device that may cause a distraction.
k. Operators must utilize all safety equipment including seat belts if available.
D. Load and Passengers:
1. MUVs are to be used for business purposes only. Use of MUVs for personal convenience, other than for disability related needs, is strictly prohibited.
2. Never exceed the maximum load capacity recommended by the manufacturer, either by number of occupants or weight of the passengers and load. MUVs may not carry more passengers than seating provided.
3. Operators must never allow anyone to ride standing in, on the back, or in the bed of an MUV.
4. No one under 18 may be transported via MUV, except with permission from the University. Children are specifically susceptible to ejection from these utility vehicles due to their inability to touch their feet to the floor, and their reliance upon the hip restraint for stability. Any children being transported on an MUV must be secured with manufactured installed seatbelts.
E. Parking and Charging:
1. MUVs must be parked in regular, service, or designated parking spots.
2. MUV keys must not be left in unattended utility vehicles. Always lock and secure the MUV with the parking brake when not in use.
3. Improperly parked MUVs may be cited, towed, or otherwise disabled.
4. Smoking must not be allowed within 50 feet of the recharge station. Only an approved battery charger will be used to recharge the batteries (designed to shut off automatically when the batteries are fully charged). Do not recharge near an open flame or source of ignition.
5. Extension cords must not be used to charge MUVs.
6. MUVs may not be used to jump-start any other utility vehicle.
7. Each MUV operator is responsible for providing timely notification of safety and maintenance concerns to the supervisor of the department to which the MUV is registered.
F. Accidents/Incidents:
1. All accidents involving MUVs shall be reported immediately to the police, the supervisor of the department to which the MUV is registered, and the Office of Risk Management, regardless of whether property or personal injury occurred.

Subject: Notice of Data Breach
Dear <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>:
I am writing to inform you of a data security incident that may have affected your personal information. At Squar Milner LLP ("Squar Milner"), we take the privacy and security of all personal information within our possession very seriously. That is why we are contacting you, offering you complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft restoration services, and informing you about steps that can be taken to help protect your personal information.
What Happened? On March 25, 2020, Squar Milner learned of an issue preventing the processing of a Squar Milner client's tax returns. Upon receipt of this information, Squar Milner immediately began an investigation through which we determined that credentials required to access the system in which this client's information was stored may have been compromised. Squar Milner then immediately took steps to secure the system and the information stored therein. On March 26, 2020, as a result of our investigation, we learned that tax information belonging to certain other Squar Milner clients may have been accessed without authorization. As your information may have been impacted, we are writing to inform you of this incident and to provide you with information about steps that can be taken to help protect your information.
What Information Was Involved? The information impacted in connection with this incident may have included your name, address, Social Security number or Tax ID number, as well as information pertaining to your prior filings with the IRS and state taxing authorities.
What Are We Doing? As soon as we discovered this incident, we took the steps described above. We also promptly notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the California Franchise Tax Board, and the Internal Revenue Service in an attempt to help prevent fraudulent activity. In addition, we are providing you with information about steps that you can take to help protect your personal information and are offering you credit monitoring and identity theft restoration services at no cost through ID Experts. The services provided by ID Experts include 12 months of credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, $1 million identity fraud loss reimbursement, and fully managed identity recovery services.
To receive these services, you must be over the age of 18, have established credit in the U.S., have a Social Security number in your name, and have a U.S. residential address associated with your credit file. The deadline to enroll in these services is July 17, 2020. With this protection, ID Experts will help you resolve issues if your identity is compromised. We are also enhancing the security of our systems, making it more difficult for similar incidents to occur in the future.
What You Can Do: You can follow the recommendations on the following page to help protect your personal information. In addition, if you haven't already done so, we encourage you to complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit, which you can obtain at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f14039.pdf. Squar Milner is available to assist with this process upon request. We also recommend that you review your credit report and consider placing a security freeze on your credit file. If you have other identity theft / tax related issues, we recommend that you contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490.

Sincerely,
Stephen P. Milner Managing Partner Squar Milner LLP
STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO FURTHER PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
Review Your Account Statements and Notify Law Enforcement of Suspicious Activity: As a precautionary measure, we recommend that you remain vigilant by reviewing your account statements and credit reports closely. If you detect any suspicious activity on an account, you should promptly notify the financial institution or company with which the account is maintained. You also should promptly report any fraudulent activity or any suspected incidence of identity theft to proper law enforcement authorities, your state attorney general, and/or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Copy of Credit Report: You may obtain a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies once every 12 months by visiting http://www.annualcreditreport.com/, calling toll-free 877-322-8228, or by completing an Annual Credit Report Request Form and mailing it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348. You can print this form at https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/requestformfinal.pdf. You also can contact one of the following three national credit reporting agencies:
Fraud Alert: You may want to consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report. An initial fraud alert is free and will stay on your credit file for at least 90 days. The alert informs creditors of possible fraudulent activity within your report and requests that the creditor contact you prior to establishing any accounts in your name. To place a fraud alert on your credit report, contact any of the three credit reporting agencies identified above. Additional information is available at http://www.annualcreditreport.com.
Security Freeze: You have the right to put a security freeze on your credit file. This will prevent new credit from being opened in your name without the use of a PIN number that is issued to you when you initiate the freeze. A security freeze is designed to prevent potential creditors from accessing your credit report without your consent. As a result, using a security freeze may interfere with or delay your ability to obtain credit. You must separately place a security freeze on your credit file with each credit reporting agency. There is no charge to place, lift or remove the security freeze. In order to place a security freeze, you may be required to provide the consumer reporting agency with information that identifies you including your full name, Social Security number, date of birth, current and previous addresses, a copy of your state-issued identification card, and a recent utility bill, bank statement or insurance statement.
Additional Free Resources: You can obtain information from the consumer reporting agencies, the FTC or from your respective state Attorney General about steps you can take toward preventing identity theft. You may report suspected identity theft to local law enforcement, including to the FTC or to the Attorney General in your state. Residents of Maryland, North Carolina, and Rhode Island can obtain more information from their Attorneys General using the contact information below.
Federal Trade Commission
You also have certain rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including: to know what is in your file; to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information; to have consumer reporting agencies correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information, as well as others. For more information about the FCRA, and your rights pursuant to the FCRA, please visit

Press Release 9 December 2007
Call for Joint Talks to save Thrupp Lake
At a meeting of the full Vale of White Horse District Council, on Tuesday evening, Dr Peter Harbour of Save Radley Lakes asked the Leader of the Council to request the Chief Executive to instigate discussions with interested parties to find an alternative disposal site to Thrupp Lake for Didcot Power Station's PFA (waste ash) and to explore how the necessary permissions could be rapidly granted.
Dr Harbour suggested that the best disposal route was dry storage 1 above ground as the PFA could then be recycled rather than wasted. Wet disposal 2 to landfill at Radley has risks including flooding and environmental pollution. It results in the permanent loss of a valuable material with many uses in the construction industry, uses which can result in potential significant savings of CO2 production (eg in the manufacture of cement and concrete). There would also be damage to the ecology of the newly created County Wildlife Site and a loss of a much treasured local amenity. Dry storage above ground would avoid all these problems; and the option has not really been explored by RWE npower.
Such a joint approach could result in a win-win situation for all concerned:
* Oxfordshire County Council would avoid the embarrassment of having granted planning permission, which many councillors regret.
* Waste Recycling Group (WRG) at Sutton Courtenay, which takes London's household waste, would receive cover material for the remainder of the life of the Sutton site. Currently it uses 100,000 tonnes a year but when Didcot A closes in 2012, 100 lorries a week will be needed to bring similar material in by road from outside the area.
* The Environment Agency would avoid blame for increasing the flood risk to Abingdon.
* Npower would save the bulk of the cost of construction and subsequent restoration at Thrupp Lake. Much PFA could be sold, not dumped. They would avoid a lot of opprobrium and could rightly claim to be a responsible and flexible company which responds to public concerns. They would also avoid the consequences of being unable to carry out their current plans should the area be declared a Town Green.
* The Vale Council would gain credit for taking the lead in facilitating planning permission.
It is hoped that MP, Dr Evan Harris, who worked extensively with various agencies associated with the flooding, will be able to use his powers to bring the agencies and companies together, in order to come up with a viable disposal option for npower's PFA that also meets the approval of local people.
Councillor Jerry Patterson, leader of the council, delivered a strong hint to RWE npower, that the ball is in their court if they wish to do the right thing and save the lakes, but the Vale Council will be helpful. "The Vale's position on the Lakes is well-known. There are representatives of RWE npower here tonight. It must be for RWE npower to initiate discussions. Should they do so, I will ask the officers to exercise their powers in the matter."

Notes for Editors
1 In "dry storage", the pulverised fuel ash (PFA) is stabilised by mixing with enough water to dampen it to allow the ash to be safely deposited on an above-ground mound without causing dust emissions. The addition of water also causes the ash partially to solidify through pozzolanic reaction. This means that the surface, when suitably tamped down, remains stable even after the ash dries out. During subsequent exposure to rainfall, water penetration is minimal, so very little of the soluble material in the ash, which includes toxic heavy metals, leaches out, or does so over a sufficiently long period so as not to present a hazard to the local environment or to groundwater. A sealing layer is placed between the mound and the ground below to prevent leaching through the wicking effect.
Dry storage has been successfully used at other power stations, such as Drax, and operational techniques have been developed that allow the deposition and removal (for recycling) of ash without risk of causing dust emissions.
Dry storage was also used at Didcot A, prior to the construction of Didcot 'B' which took away the space. The lack of a dry storage facility for stockpiling ash at Didcot has been a major contributory factor in the destruction of so many of the lakes at Radley, through wet disposal, in the current decade.
2 In "wet disposal" the ash is mixed with copious amounts of water to make a fluid slurry, which is then pumped into "lagoons", which are lakes, such as those at Radley, where the ash is allowed to settle out, This method dissolves some of the soluble material contained in the ash. Even though this soluble component is only a small proportion of the ash material, the resulting cocktail is potentially very harmful to groundwater and the environment. For this reason, since about 2000, such ash lagoons have had to be sealed to prevent contamination of groundwater and underground aquifers. Even so, much of the polluted water created in the disposal process is decanted into local water courses and into river systems, such as the Thames at Radley, where any toxic effects are (it is hoped) mitigated by dilution. However the sealed lakes remain a potential threat to the local environments in perpetuity (or until such time as the containment fails and the soluble material leaches away). Experience of managing sealed PFA lagoons is limited to the past decade or so and the method is not without problems: the construction of bunds required to seal the edges of the lake is destructive of the surrounding landscape; the PFA does not compact or stabilise as readily as in unsealed lagoons; and the permanent retention of soluble toxic substances means that there are ongoing problems returning the land to any sort of

AIR QUALITY RESEARCH PROGRAM
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Contract Number 582-10-94300 Awarded to The University of Texas at Austin
Annual Report
September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012
Submitted to
David Brymer Texas Commission on Environmental Quality 12100 Park 35 Circle Austin, TX 78753
Prepared by
David T. Allen, Principal Investigator The University of Texas at Austin 10100 Burnet Rd. MC R7100 Austin, TX 78758
October 1, 2012
Texas Air Quality Research Program
Annual Report
October 1, 2012
OVERVIEW
The goals of the State of Texas Air Quality Research Program (AQRP) are:
(i) to support scientific research related to Texas air quality, in the areas of emissions inventory development, atmospheric chemistry, meteorology and air quality modeling,
(ii) to integrate AQRP research with the work of other organizations, and
(iii) to communicate the results of AQRP research to air quality decision-makers and stakeholders.
On April 30, 2010, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) contracted with the University of Texas at Austin to administer the AQRP. For the 2010-2011 biennium, the AQRP had approximately $4.9 million in funding available. Following discussions with the TCEQ and an Independent Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) concerning research priorities, the AQRP released a call for proposals in May, 2010. Forty-five proposals, requesting $12.9 million in research funding were received by the due date of June 25, 2010. These proposals were reviewed by the ITAC for technical merit, and by the TCEQ for relevancy to the State's air quality research needs. The results of these reviews were forwarded to the AQRP's Advisory Council, which made final funding decisions in late August, 2010. Projects commenced shortly thereafter, and as of November 30, 2011, all projects have been completed. Final reports on all but one project have been posted to the AQRP website.
In June 2011, the TCEQ renewed the AQRP for the 2012-2013 biennium. Funding of $1,000,000 for the FY 2012 period was awarded in February 2012. An additional $1,000,000 for the FY 2013 period was awarded in June 2012. At the same time an additional $160,000 was awarded for FY 2012, to support funding for additional air quality projects recommended by the TCEQ. A call for proposals was released in May 2012. Thirty-two proposals, requesting $5 million in research funding were received. The proposals were reviewed by the ITAC and the TCEQ. The Advisory Council selected 14 projects for funding. Investigators have been notified of their funding status and the contracting process has commenced.
BACKGROUND
Section 387.010 of HB 1796 (81 st Legislative Session), directs the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ, Commission) to establish the Texas Air Quality Research Program (AQRP).

(f) A nonprofit organization that receives grants from the commission under this section is subject to Chapters 551 and 552, Government Code.
The University of Texas at Austin was selected by the TCEQ to administer the program. A contract for the administration of the AQRP was established between the TCEQ and the University of Texas at Austin on April 30, 2010 for the 2010-2011 biennium, and was renewed in June 2011 for the 2012-2013 biennium. Consistent with the provisions in HB 1796, up to 10% of the available funding is to be used for program administration; the remainder (90%) of the available funding is to be used for research projects, individual project management activities, and meeting expenses associated with an Independent Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC).
RESEARCH PROJECT CYCLE
The Research Program is being implemented through a 9 step cycle. The steps in the cycle are described from project concept generation to final project evaluation for a single project cycle.
1.) The project cycle is initiated by developing (in year 1) or updating (in subsequent years) the strategic research priorities. The AQRP Director, in consultation with the ITAC, and the TCEQ develop research priorities; the research priorities are released along with a Request for Proposals.
2.) Project proposals relevant to the research priorities are solicited. The Request for Proposals can be found at http://aqrp.ceer.utexas.edu/.
3.) The Independent Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) performs a scientific and technical evaluation of the proposals. (More information on the ITAC is provided below.)
4.) The project proposals and ITAC recommendations are forwarded to the TCEQ. The TCEQ evaluates the project recommendations from the ITAC and comments on the relevancy of the projects to the State's air quality research needs. (More information on the TCEQ relevancy review is provided below.)
5.) The recommendations from the ITAC and the TCEQ are presented to the Council and the Council selects the proposals to be funded. The Council also provides comments on the strategic research priorities. (More information on the Council is provided below.)
6.) All Investigators are notified of the status of their proposals, either funded, not funded, or not funded at this time, but being held for possible reconsideration if funding becomes available.
7.) Funded projects are assigned a Project Manager at UT-Austin and a Project Liaison at TCEQ. The project manager at UT-Austin is responsible for ensuring that project objectives are achieved in a timely manner and that effective communication is maintained among investigators involved in multi-institution projects. The Project Manager has responsibility for documenting progress toward project measures of success for each project. The Project Manager works with the researchers, and the TCEQ to create an approved work plan for the project. The Project Manager also works with the researchers, TCEQ and the Program's Quality Assurance officer to develop an approved QAPP for each project. The Project Manager reviews monthly, annual and final reports from the researchers and works with the researchers to address deficiencies.
8.) The AQRP Director and the Project Manager for each project describe progress on the project in the ITAC and Council meetings dedicated to on-going project review.
9.) The project findings are communicated through multiple mechanisms. Final reports are posted to the Program web site; research briefings are developed for the public and air quality decision makers; and a bi-annual research conference/data workshop is held.
Independent Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC)
The AQRP funding is used primarily for research projects, and one of three groups responsible for selecting the projects is the Independent Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC). The ITAC, composed of up to 15 individuals and an alternate with scientific expertise relevant to the Program, is charged with recommending technical approaches, and establishing research priorities. Initially, the ITAC was to meet at least twice per year at locations rotating between Austin, Dallas and Houston. As the Program proceeded, it was more efficient for the ITAC to meet once in Austin and as needed via conference call/webinar. Generally, the meetings in Austin are dedicated to new project review, reviewing progress on funded projects, and reviewing the Program's strategic plan.
Members of the ITAC consist of the TCEQ Project Director (or designee), representatives with air quality expertise from research institutions with extensive expertise in air quality research in Texas. The members of the ITAC are drawn from Texas universities active in air quality research, national laboratories that have participated in air quality studies in Texas, and institutions that have expertise not available in Texas and that have participated in air quality studies in Texas. The members of the ITAC are listed in Table 1.
As the ITAC membership is intentionally drawn from air quality researchers who have experience in Texas; these researchers and their colleagues will likely have interest in responding to the requests for research proposals issued by the AQRP. This raises potential confidentiality and conflict of interest issues, and the contract between TCEQ and the University of Texas requires that

Program Statement
Overview
Terry Tan Child Centre continues to view all families, children and staff as competent, capable and curious individuals whose life experiences, diverse social, cultural and languages enrich and support the daily program that is provided for the children. As such, the Program Statement for Terry Tan Child Centre is reviewed annually by the volunteer Board of Directors and the staff of Terry Tan Child Centres. The program also relies on the strong and effective use of the provincial document "How Does Learning Happen?" to support and guide the volunteer Board of Directors, Administration, and staff. Our Implementation Policy affirms the importance of documenting and reviewing the impact of our strategies.
Our Logo is intended to represent the Four Foundations as well as our many community partners and agencies, centering on the primary reason Terry Tan Child Centre is in existence; the well-being and success of every child. The founders of Terry Tan, Terry and Kinzie Tanaka, recognized the importance of putting the child as the priority for any circumstance.
As a not for profit organization, we often work with outside agencies in order to support our work with children and families. Our history of reinforcing inclusion and the employment of our three Resource Consultants as part of the Every Child Belongs model of Toronto Children's Services, has recognized us as leaders through our work in supporting children and families with extra support needs. Our partnerships with Eatonville Junior School as well as Etobicoke Brighter Futures Coalition, the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, Umbrella, Working Together with the City of Toronto, invitations to sit on various committees and Conferences, etc. is also represented through the "spokes" and levels of colour surrounding the centre – the children. Each child's learning is inclusive of sound guidance practices, healthy and nutritious meals and snacks, based on Canada's Food Guide. A play-based curriculum using the Four Foundations of the Early Learning Framework (ELF)/How Does Learning Happen? documents, designed by dedicated Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE) with an opportunity for daily rest, planned outdoor experiences as well as art, cognitive, dramatic, science and sensory explorations. Revisions of our program planning documentation allows for us to continue to strive for meaningful, continuous experiences and feedback for the families about their child's progress on a daily basis. As an agency that has supported children and families of central Etobicoke since 1971, the commitment to quality childcare has always been a priority. Additional supports by way of the Resource Consultants also assists to meet the needs of children with exceptionalities as well as parent and staff support when required or as requested. The RECE and supporting staff respond to all children's interests and abilities and work to ensure that families are aware they are partners in their child's growth and development through observations and daily charting of their interests, continuum records, use of the Nipissing Screening Tool (which is also encouraged to be completed by the child's parent), photo documentations, parent meetings and daily contact with parents at either drop off or pick up time. The accessible, maintained individual portfolio is also a resource for families to understand and collaborate with their child's growth and interests.
Health and Safety
In order to ensure the safety of each child and staff member while in attendance, daily health checks will occur as well as annual immunization and contact information updates through the Annual Registration Form provided early each calendar year. Infants at both locations and toddlers will also receive, upon parent request, daily information specifically pertaining to their child's health, safety and well- being. The older age groups also have daily information recorded for parent reference. Frequent and continual scans of the area (inside and outside) will also ensure the safety of the children at all times both inside and outside the classroom.
Each room will have posted in a conspicuous place, the Allergies and Health Concerns for all staff and children as well as any individual needs, including a photograph of the child who may require special attention. (E.g. Use of an Epipen). Staff sign off on use of the Epi-pen annually (or at the time of enrollment to the centre) upon review with the parent the specific directions/instructions to administer the medication for their child. Any communicable diseases that may occur at the centre will also be posted outside each classroom with the date of the first reported incident recorded on the notice. A Record of Illness as well as a daily documented health, safety and well- being check is maintained for each child upon commencement of enrollment to assist families in tracking and monitoring when a child is unwell or with specific symptoms of incidents. (Repeated accidents, fever, irritability, etc.)
A Safe Sleep policy has been set to ensure the safety of all children who sleep at the centre. Children's well- being is monitored through visual checks throughout the sleep room time on a regular basis.
Terry Tan Child Centre is committed to developing policies, practices, and procedures that provide accessible quality services to its staff, Board Members, volunteers, student teachers, families and their children. Services will be provided to staff, student teachers, volunteers, Board Members and families with disabilities in a manner that promotes and respects dignity, independence, inclusion and equal opportunity. Persons are requested to share with the Centre any needs or accommodations that may be required in order for them to participate in our program.
Regular roll count and attendance checks (verbally, visually, and recorded) occur frequently throughout the day. Children are signed in and out each day by the staff in charge and additional checks are recorded to ensure through routines and staff changes that all children are accounted for at all times.
Parents who are late arriving to pick up their child (after 6:00pm) will be subject to a late fee. Families who are late more than three times over a time frame, may be asked to leave the Centre as the needs of the family are not able to be met by the Centre.
Children experiencing a minor accident while in care at the centre will have an accident report completed in duplicate and signed by the staff member, parent and designate person at the time of the incident.
Children
The child's self-initiated learning environment is supported by positive, sound guidance practices, a play based curriculum using the foundation of the How Does Learning Happen? document designed by dedicated Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE) and reviewed each week by the Supervisor or designate with an opportunity for daily rest, quiet time activities, planned outdoor experiences, nutrition, art, cognitive, drama, music, science and sensory explorations as well as an unconditional welcome for all families. The program may be enriched by inviting professional entertainments, such as Puppet Show, Sports Games, Magic Show, Science, Dance, and other activities based on the children's interests.
The Four Foundations – Belonging, (each child and their parent will receive a warm welcome and will be seen as a part of each group of children within the centre) Engagement, each child will be supported in building learning goals and meeting their full potential) Expression (every child will have a voice and be respected within the centre and playroom) and Well-being (the physical, mental and emotional health is also recognized as an important aspect of growth and ability). Building each child's ability to self –regulate will also be highlighted and supported throughout the program by way of anticipation, reasonable limit setting, re-direction, logical consequence, practice and discussion.
Relationships for all children will be enhanced and supported through providing many opportunities to engage with members of the community as well as their own families. Guidelines to build children's skills will be addressed through the use of the How Does Learning Happen? document. The competencies of professional RECE's and staff that are employed by the organization will also provide many learning opportunities for the children each day.
The Resource Consultant may be a valuable resource in providing the support and/or education required to assist the child, families or educator in meeting and achieving their full potential. Children, where developmentally appropriate, will continue to be encouraged to solve problems independently and/or with minimal assistance from the Educator.
The overall aim and goal will be achieved through ongoing, diligent and intentional follow through with all statements pertaining to

A serious occurrence is defined under the Child Care and Early Years Act as:
a. the death of a child who receives child care at a licensed home premises or child care centre;
b. abuse, neglect or an allegation of abuse or neglect of a child while receiving child care at a home premises or child care centre;
c. a life-threatening injury to or a life-threatening illness of a child who receives child care at a home premises or child care centre;
d. an incident where a child who is receiving child care at a home premise or child care centre goes missing or is temporarily unsupervised, or
e. an unplanned disruption of the normal operations of a home child care premises or child care centre that poses a risk to the health, safety or well-being of children receiving care at a home child care premises or child care centre.
Any Serious Occurrence that has occurred will be posted on the bulletin board outside the centre office identifying the date and nature of the occurrence only
BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
Terry Tan Child Centres are non-profit childcares operated by a Volunteer Community Board of Directors. The Board is comprised of 4 parent representatives and 3 community representatives. The Board of Directors governs both the Eatonville and Bloordale locations. An Executive Director is employed by the Board to administer both locations. The Board meets a minimum of six times a year to set policies in accordance with the Child Care and Early Years Act. Board meetings are held regularly and open to parents and staff.
Each year, at the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors for the following year is elected by the membership. Since the Directors elected at this meeting are responsible for the operation of the organization for the next year, we would like to emphasize the importance of parents attending the Annual Meeting. Each family that has child (ren) enrolled at the centre for the 60 days prior to the Annual General Meeting are considered members and will have one vote at the meeting. Our By-laws state that the term of office for a Director is two years. The By-laws do allow for Directors to run for more than one term. Parents will be notified of the upcoming parent vacancies on the Board though newsletters. Vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors during a term will be appointed by the Board for the balance of the term. By-laws are available to all parents upon request.
There are a total of 7 Directors representing the following categories:
1. Representative from Bloordale United Church
2. Two parents with one or more children attending Eatonville
3. Two parents with one or more children attending Bloordale
4. One community representative with experience in integration who is not an employee of the corporation
5. One person with professional childcare experience who is not an employee of the corporation

INDIVIDUAL GROWTH MODELS OF CHANGE IN PEABODY PICTURE
VOCABULARY SCORES OF CHILDREN TREATED FOR BRAIN TUMORS
by
Ying Shen
Under the Direction of Yu-Sheng Hsu
ABSTRACT
The individual growth model is a relatively new statistical technique. It is now widely used to examine the trajectories of individuals and groups in repeated measures
data. This study examines the association of the receptive vocabulary over time and characteristics of children who were treated for brain tumors. The children undertook
different types of treatment from one to any combinations of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The individual growth model is used to analyze the longitudinal data and
to address the issues behind the data. Results of this study present several factors'
influences to the rate of change of PPVT scores. The conclusions of this thesis indicate that the decline in the PPVT scores is associated with gender, age at diagnosis,
socioeconomic status, type of treatment and Neurological Predictor Scale.

Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background
Brain tumors are a life-threatening and chronic ailment for many children and comprise approximately 22% of childhood cancers and tumors originating in the central nervous system, and are the second only to leukemia in cause of death among childhood cancers [1, 2]. The standard treatments for brain tumors are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and any combinations of the three treatments.
Surgery is the primary form of treatment for brain tumors that lie within the membranes covering the brain or in parts of the brain that can be removed without damaging critical neurological functions. Because a tumor is likely to recur if any tumor cells are left behind, the goal of surgery is to remove the entire tumor whenever possible. It is frequently used in combination with other intervention when necessary [3].
Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are generally used as secondary or adjuvant treatments for tumors that cannot be managed using only surgery. However, radiation and chemotherapy may be used without surgery if the tumor is inoperable. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other types of ionizing radiation to stop cancer cells from dividing. Because the developing brain of a child is very sensitive to radiation therapy, it is deliberately limited [3]. Chemotherapy required for the more aggressive tumors uses chemicals (drugs) that have a toxic effect on tumor cells as they divide. Survival rates of children with certain types of brain tumors have been significantly improved by the treatment of radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

The children who have undergone treatment for brain tumors which have direct impact on crucial brain structures underlying behavior may be more likely to exhibit behavior problems than their peers. Although studies have found that survivors are at risk for a variety of physical, medical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial late effects, the particular risk factors having an impact on children's psychosocial and behavioral functioning are not fully understood. These late effects may be directly related to the type of treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation), characteristics of the disease (tumor size and type), and individual demographic factors, such as age and socioeconomic status [4].
1.2 Source of Data
The data for this study comes from a longitudinal study conducted by Robin Morris of Georgia State University over 15 years ago. Trica King in collaboration with Robin Morris and other researchers are evaluating the survivors of childhood brain tumors from the original longitudinal study when began at the time when they undertook diagnosis and treatments. Drs. Tricia King and Robin Morris (Department of Psychology) and along with Dr. Yu-Sheng Hsu (Mathematics and Statistics Department) are conducting studies to identify the predictors of longitudinal data such as the PPVT [5]. Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) is a measure of receptive vocabulary for Standard English and a screening test of verbal ability. In this study, we analyzed change in PPVT scores over time in these children.
Between 1985 and 1996, 98 patients participated in the longitudinal study and 93 out 98 patients' information were complete. The patients' data include PPVT scores,
2
date of birth of the participant, gender, socioeconomic status, treatments the patient undertook, Neurological Predictor Scale the patient had, date of the diagnosis, and date of taking PPVT test. The age of diagnosis of those 93 patients is ranged from 0.4 to 16.7 years old. The Neurological Predictor Scale is ranged from 2 to 11. The range of observation per patient is from 1 to 11.

The potentially predictive variables included in this study are gender, age at diagnosis, Socioeconomic Status Class (SES), surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, time since treatment and Neurological Predictor Scale (NPS_total). A family's socioeconomic status is based on family income, parental education level, and parental occupation. There are five levels for SES class in which class1 is the highest level and
3
class 5 is the lowest level. Neurological Predictor Scale (NPS_total) is a nonratio, ordinal scale. It is a sum of patients' rated scores across 4 domains which are tumorrelated conditions, operative events, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy [6].

Nikolai Petrovich Kashevaroff, Priest of Holy Resurrection Cathedral (and the Kashevaroff Family)
By Dawn Lea Black and
Daria Safronova-Simeonoff
The Kashevaroffs (Koshevarovs) 1 originally came to Alaska aboard the ship Tri Sviatitelia or Three Saints, which also carried the first Russian Orthodox Mission to Alaska, including the future Saint Herman. The book Herman: A Wilderness Saint, written by Sergei Korsun, who works for the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in Saint Petersburg, Russia, lists the types of people, on page 20, who were aboard this ship. Two of them were mentioned as "stewards". It is possible, according to both Lydia Black in "Russians in Alaska" and Richard Pierce in "Russian America: A Biographical Dictionary", that these two people were the father, Artamon, and his son, Filipp Kashevarov who were serfs of I.L. Golikov back in Russia. However, according to Alexander V. Zorin, the head archivist and historian of the Kursk State Regional Archaeological Museum and also the author of a major published article on I.L. Golikov, 2 no record of a person named Artamon Kashevaroff was found in the census records of Kursk.
The aforementioned Golikov was the merchant Ivan Larionovich [Illarionovich] Golikov, who was the senior partner, with the most shares, in the fur company known as the Golikov-Shelikhov Company, although that was not a formal, contractual name. That company had several companies under its umbrella, and the actual company for which the Kashevaroffs worked was probably the Kodiak-based Northeastern Company, which was managed by Alexander Baranov. The reason why these Kashevarovs were sent to Kodiak was possibly because serfdom was being legally phased-out for merchants in Russia
1 Richard A. Pierce, Russian America: A Biographical Dictionary (Kingston, Ontario and Fairbanks, Alaska: Limestone Press, 1990), s. v. "Kashevarov,
Filipp Artamonovich (1781-1843)." [Artamon is mentioned under Filipp's heading]; see also: [Andrei]. A. V. Grinëv,Kto estь kto v istorii Russkoi
at that time, and the Golikovs could probably benefit longer from their labor if they were in far-off Alaska.
Artamon Kashevaroff might have lived into the early 1800s because there is a partially extant, hand-engraved slate gravestone 3 with an inscription (in 18 th century Russian) of the life of a Russian man. This easily could be about Artamon Kashevaroff because it is the life story of someone aboard the September 1794 ship. Most of the workers and settlers aboard that ship, who weren't with the Mission, were en route to Yakutat, where almost all of them were later killed by the local Tlingits. 4 The person to whom this stone pertains (see photo below) is described as having been conscientious religiously and in the service of Golikov (not Golikov and Shelikhov), and later of the company. 5
Artamon Kashevaroff's son Filipp became a school teacher, a store clerk, a ship captain, a company worker, and an explorer. At some point in his career, in 1836, he was chosen by the future Saint Innocent of Alaska, Priest Ioann Popov to substitute for him by conducting "services on feast days and baptizing the natives", while Priest Popov himself was away in California 6. Filipp had seven sons and three daughters with an Alaskan Creole woman, Aleksandra Petrovna. These children included a son named Petr (Peter) who became a priest in Kodiak and elsewhere. Peter is buried behind the Orthodox Church in Kodiak. He also married a local Creole woman, Mariia Arkhimandritov, and had at least nine children. His wife was the sister of Kodiak Manager, V. G. Pavlov, according to family interviews. Several of his six sons were priests. These included Nikolai and Andrei.
Nikolai Petrovich Kashevaroff was born on January 8, 1859. 7 Nikolai and his brothers Andrei and Vasilii were educated at the Seminary in San Francisco and served in Kodiak as Psalm readers in their early days here 8, and Nikolai later as a deacon before he was ordained a priest. Andrei was a choir director, musician, and teacher in Kodiak, as well as a priest in the Nushagak area. Vasilii was also a priest in Nushagak, where both Andrei and Vasilii built their own travel kayak. 9
Overall, Nikolai served in Kodiak area as a clergyman from 1875-1928. 10 It is obvious that he continued to help out in the church after 1928 because his trilingual letter (see below) is dated 1931. He has additional church records that

7 Various sources (Kodiak family genealogies) provide different dates for the birth of Nikolai Kashevaroff. Even the metrical record kept in the Alaskan Diocesan
Archive (St. Herman Seminary, Kodiak, Alaska) does not have a recorded day of his birth: instead, it has a later inscription of January 8 made in pencil
(as opposed to the original brown ink). The archival record does, however, have a date for his baptism – January 16, 1859.

date up to 1934. Many marriage records and similar documents are signed by Nikolai in his various church positions over the years. 11
In addition, Nikolai became quite involved with interactions concerning the former Baptist orphanage which was founded on Woody Island in the 1894. 12 His record in Kodiak is a solid one and includes many Orthodox church and legal documents 13, available for interested individuals to read on microfilm from the "Alaskan Russian Church Archives", located at Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. An Inventory book of Alaskan Russian Church Archives must be consulted in order to select which microfilms most interest you.
Nikolai died in Sitka on December 5, 1935. 14 He was buried in Kodiak in the graveyard of the Holy Resurrection Church (see his gravestone below).
14 According to the genealogical record supplied by Lawrence Anderson's family. Kodiak Parish Archive, however, does not have a record of
The letter presented below was found in the folder "Language Materials, Miscelanneous" 15 in 2013 in Alaskan Diocesan Archive at St. Herman Seminary. Of particular interest is the linguistic nature of it: written in three languages (Russian, Alutiiq, and English combined together), which confirms the fact of Nikolai Kashevaroff's trilinguacy – a common characteristic for the so-called Russian Creoles of Kodiak Island 16. Unfortunately, by 1960ies trilinguacy, specifically in writing became extinct.
15 The folder was put together by Doctor Lydia Black, the archivist of the Diocesan Archive in late 1990ies – early 2000s.
16 The trilingual archives of some of these Creoles, specifically Church Readers Xenofont Malutin and Illarion (Larry) Ellenak are preserved
Interestingly enough, the three languages have different functional purposes: Russian is reserved for letter salutations and closings, and church titles, Alutiiq is reserved for the message itself, and English for the measurements of the time period (carpet length and its price). On the contrary, Kashevaroff's major church records are written in Russian only, it being the lingua franca of the Russian Orthodox Mission in Alaska. Kashevaroff's personal correspondence, if found, might provide a deeper insight into his linguistic preferences. 17 In any case, the whole "Kashevaroff case" is a perfect example of the social mobility present within the Russian colonial system – a serf arriving at Kodiak works as a teacher, captain, shipbuilder, and church reader, then marries into a Native family, petitions to be emancipated, raises many children and secures for them the best (both civil and clerical) education available at the time. Later, some of his grandchildren even become priests – the position of the highest respect among the locals. Thus, just in three generation this one family has acquired the cultural legacies of the three local cultures – Native, Russian, and American and the letter above is a clear confirmation of this

Case Study: Cognitive Impairment, Depression, and Severe Hypoglycemia
John Zrebiec, MSW, CDE
The following case study illustrates the clinical role of mental health professionals who specialize in the treatment of people with diabetes. This case describes the diagnostic dilemma presented by a patient with diabetes and a history of severe hypoglycemia complicated by other medical, psychiatric, social, and functional problems.
Cognitive impairment (e.g., memory loss, increased distractibility, and confusion) can present a difficult diagnostic problem for clinicians because it can be symptomatic of many underlying and undetected clinical conditions. Careful diagnosis is crucial because some causes may be progressive and irreversible, whereas other causes may be reversible with medical or psychiatric treatment. Some of the more noteworthy causes are related to medication, alcohol, aging, depression, and, as in this case study, the possible consequences of recurrent severe hypoglycemia related to diabetes. 1 Diabetes, of course, may cause an increase in cognitive decline over the course of time because of vascular risk factors. 2 Some evidence suggests that acute hyperglycemia may have a negative impact on cognitive performance. 3
Depression is the most common of the reversible causes of memory impairment, and people with diabetes are twice as likely to suffer from depression as those without diabetes. 4 Recent evidence suggests that diabetes may create alterations in regions of the brain that are associated with affect regulation and increase the risk for developing a depressive disorder. 5 Fortunately, problematic medications can be modified, and alcohol misuse or depression can be treated. Unfortunately, despite its relevance to the course of diabetes, depression is recognized and treated in fewer than one-third of people with diabetes. 4
The relationship between recurrent severe hypoglycemia and cognitive impairment remains unclear. Both prospective and longitudinal studies of cognitive function have been so plagued by methodological problems that it is difficult to unequivocally determine whether patients who experience repeated episodes of severe hypoglycemia are at risk for permanent brain injury or intellectual impairment. However, those with diabetes of long duration, especially with comorbid neuropathy, may be at higher risk for cognitive deficits resulting from hypoglycemia. 6,7 A metaanalysis of studies about cognitive performance in patients with type 1 diabetes found that lowered cognitive performance was associated with the presence of microvascular complications but not with the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia. 8 Recently, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications study, a follow-up to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) reported that multiple severe hypoglycemic episodes did not lead to increased risk for cognitive impairment in the subjects who had participated in the DCCT. 9
Case Presentation
Steve is a 67-year-old white widower and retired accountant. He was referred for psychosocial evaluation at the diabetes clinic after an emergency room (ER) visit to a local hospital. He arrived at the ER with confusion and a severe hypoglycemic episode after taking an overdose of insulin. He denied suicidal intent or alcohol abuse
Diabetes SpectrumVolume 19, Number 4, 2006
and claimed to have mistakenly taken insulin lispro rather than his insulin glargine dose. The ER staff was suspicious about his claim because there had been eight similar ER visits for severe hypoglycemia within the last 2 years. He explained these previous events as a result of mixing up the types of insulin he injected.
After psychiatric assessment he was not judged to be a suicidal risk. He was discharged after his blood glucose levels stabilized, and he promised to pursue outpatient mental health treatment. His hemoglobin A1c (A1C) at the time was 7.9%—his lowest on record for several years. Generally, his blood glucose levels displayed wide swings. He explained that high blood glucose levels made him feel more apathetic about eating and depressed about his diabetes self-management.
Personal history
As a child, Steve attained developmental milestones at expected times. His father was in the Army, and as a result, Steve had moved 32 times before he graduated from high school. He was an excellent student throughout high school but only managed mediocre grades in college because of family conflict. He dropped out of college in his junior year and moved to a South Pacific island for 1 year.
After returning to the United States, he earned an undergraduate degree in English and then a second degree in accounting. After graduation, he married and worked for 20 years as an accountant in a group practice. Later, Steve started his own accounting firm, but he had difficulty keeping organized and recalls being constantly late for business meetings and failing to complete projects on
time. In hindsight, Steve believes that he has struggled with depression on and off for > 30 years. He first recalls feeling depressed after his diagnosis with diabetes 36 years ago. He felt more depressed after he lost his 47year-old sister to colon cancer in 1988, and then his 74-year-old father died from heart disease in 1991. But, he says his life "really fell apart" when his 54-year-old wife died from lung cancer in 1995. He contemplated suicide for 3 months but never acted. During this desperate period, he marginally functioned, lost many business clients, and was forced to close his company.
Overwhelmed by depression, he moved to the West Coast to live with his mother and worked at unskilled jobs. Diabetes complicated his emotional struggles, with blood glucose control fluctuating wildly and ranging from episodes of ketoacidosis that required hospitalization to severe hypoglycemic events that resulted in car crashes. Depression complicated his diabetes management, and after a hypoglycemia-related auto accident in which he ran over several pedestrians, he decided to stop working and was approved for social security because of psychiatric disability.
He came to the East Coast in 1998 to briefly visit his younger brother and decided to stay. Although he still lives near his brother, he says they have had only sporadic contact since a falling out after Steve "passed out" during a severe hypoglycemic episode. In 2000, Steve got engaged, but his fiancée left him to marry the father of her child. He says he felt devastated by the loss of yet another woman who had "become everything" to him. Since then, he has withdrawn socially and does not leave his apartment unless it is necessary. He has trouble managing his money, keeping his apartment neat and orderly, taking medications on time, and maintaining any structure in his day.
Medical history
Steve punctually arrives at the correct hour but often on the wrong day for his medical appointments. He grapples with neuropathy, retinopathy, and unpredictable blood glucose levels. He monitors his blood glucose levels 8–12 times/day and tries to be careful about what he eats. He also has sleep apnea, and his sleep patterns are highly erratic. He frequently does not fall asleep until 4:00 A. M. and then may only be able to sleep for 2 hours. Often, he will then nap for several hours in the afternoon. He began continuous positive airway pressure treatment for his sleep problems in 2003 but did not tolerate treatment. He has switched to bilevel positive airway pressure (biPAP) within the last 18 months but only tolerates it for up to 3 hours each night. Additional diagnoses include hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, Meniere's disease, tinnitus, and arthritis. His medication list includes atorvastatin, lisinopril, hydrochlorothizide, warfarin, meclizine, and folic acid. He does not smoke and only rarely drinks alcohol. Only his paternal grandmother had diabetes.
Psychiatric history
Depression has plagued Steve since his diagnosis with diabetes. As noted earlier, his depression intensified after the deaths of his sister and father, but he did not descend into a suicidal mood until his wife died 10 years ago. Four years ago, he underwent electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and although he continues to have occasional suicidal ideation, he has not made an attempt and has had no further psychiatric admissions. Both of his parents, his brother, and his sister suffered from depression. A maternal aunt suffered from dementia. His mother also struggled with alcohol abuse until her death from emphysema in 2004 at the age of 89. At the time of referral, he was taking fluoxetine, 40 mg, and venlafaxine, 37.5 mg, prescribed by a psychopharmacologist.
Questions
1. Was Steve's insulin overdose accidental or a suicide attempt?
2. What are the causes for his cognitive impairment?
3. How do his depression and cognitive problems affect his diabetes self-management?
4. What are the treatment recommendations?
Discussion
When Steve started treatment, he was interested in learning how to
Diabetes SpectrumVolume 19, Number 4, 2006
alleviate his depression and improve his diabetes care. He was pleasant, cooperative, thoughtful, and tactful, and his language was eloquent but often emotionless. He tended to give very detailed and pensive answers to questions.
Careful clinical evaluation found that his insulin overdose was best explained by lack of attention rather than suicidal intent, desire for secondary gain, or fear of hyperglycemia. His eight previous severe hypoglycemic episodes raised the question of why this intelligent man kept repeating the same mistakes. His history hinted at troubles with complex cognitive functions (e.g., ability to plan, sequence, prioritize, organize, and initiate) that extended back to his college days. He reported that in the past year he had experienced more memory problems, sometimes forgetting names and having word-finding difficulties

changes in cognitive function and target treatable symptoms.
Neuropsychological tests indicated that his baseline functioning was in the superior range. He exhibited strengths across most cognitive domains, including memory, language, reasoning, and complex cognitive functioning. In contrast, he demonstrated relative weakness in mental speed, mental flexibility, word retrieval, and fine motor control. There was evidence for a moderate to severe level of clinical depression. Compared with prior testing (3 years previously), he exhibited a decline in processing speed, mental flexibility, word retrieval, and fine
motor control. It was theorized that these changes were related to the cumulative effects of poor sleep, worsening depression, and multiple hypo- and hyperglycemic events. His care provider felt that unless his medical conditions were properly treated, his cognitive abilities would continue to fluctuate, and he would have even more difficulty circumventing these problems.
The care provider recommended that he try to regulate his sleep patterns, specifically avoiding long afternoon naps, and use his biPAP machine to help improve sleep. Better sleeping patterns should improve his attention span and overall cognitive functioning. The need for continuation of individual psychotherapy and psychiatric medications for depression was evident and eagerly accepted by Steve. Pursuing his therapy at a diabetes clinic easily opened the door for a referral to other members of the diabetes team (including an endocrinologist, dietitian, and nurse educator) to help regulate his erratic blood glucose levels. It also allowed for diabetes care to be truly collaborative.
It is widely accepted that depression can create more difficulties in maintaining treatment adherence and that the hardships of managing diabetes can lead to depression. 4 Steve lost his appetite when depressed and increased his risk of hypoglycemia. He was maintained on fast-acting insulin to provide more flexibility with meals and was prescribed an insulin pen to avoid mixing up different types of insulin.
Steve attended Blood Glucose Awareness Training sessions. This is a well-documented psychoeducational program that offers several empirically validated benefits for people with type 1 diabetes. Benefits include improved accuracy of blood glucose estimations, improved detection of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, improved judgments related to decisions about treatment when blood glucose is low, and a reduction in episodes of severe hypoglycemia. 10
Despite being quite likeable, Steve reported feeling isolated and lonely. He said he often felt "disengaged" from others, emotionally detached, and affectively flattened. To provide structure to his day, increase his level of cognitive and social stimulation, and learn from others about how to cope with diabetes and depression, he was referred to a hospital-based group for people suffering from depression and to one of the clinic's diabetes support groups. For additional social connection, he was encouraged to pursue his interest in photography.
Steve followed through on all recommendations. He has not had a severe hypoglycemic episode during the past 7 months. His A1C has changed from 7.9% at the time of referral to 8.3%, most likely reflecting the avoidance of severe lows. In individual therapy, he continues to work on his tendency to be too passive and mercilessly self-critical, and in the groups he is gaining more awareness of his tendency to feel either emotionally detached or overwhelmed by others. He has also enrolled in photography classes.
Clinical Pearls
* How can one tell if a patient is depressed? Suspicion may be raised by history or reports of relatives, but most often it is the clinical discussion that discovers the cognitive and affective symptoms of depression, such as fatigue, insomnia, weight loss, poor concentration, loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, sadness, helplessness, and hopelessness. Asking simple questions, such as "During the past month, have you been bothered by feeling down, depressed, or hopeless?" and "During the past month, have you been bothered by little interest or pleasure in doing things?" can be as successful as formal surveys when screening for depression. 11
* How can one tell if a patient is cognitively impaired? Suspicion may be raised by difficulties with orientation, attention, reasoning, and memory problems, such as difficulty learning new information or remembering old information. Other clues include difficulties with calculations, perceptual disturbance, or language disturbance, such as word finding or perseveration. Complex cognitive functions, such as planning, organizing, sequencing, and abstracting, may be impaired. In a clinical interview,
Diabetes SpectrumVolume 19, Number 4, 2006
it is often difficult to follow the logical sense of a cognitively impaired patient's presentation. 12
* How can one tell the difference between cognitive deficits caused by depression and those caused by brain injury? Depression can cause slowing of information processing, decreased attention and concentration, and learning problems. It can be difficult to know whether mild deficits in concentration or learning are caused by depression, mild traumatic brain injury, or both. Often, the most practical approach to such cases is to treat the depression first and then re-evaluate the patient for any residual neurocognitive deficits. Some areas of cognition are also not generally affected by depression, for example, language, problem solving, visual spatial analysis, complex cognitive functions, and visual or auditory perception.
* When should one refer someone for neuropsychological testing? The most common reasons are when:
♦ Situational explanations for changes in emotions or cognitive functioning cannot be readily identified
♦ A medical condition is suspected to have affected brain health (e.g., recurrent severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia)
♦ Relatively sudden, unexpected, and unaccounted for changes appear in mental or cognitive performance that affect work or daily functioning. 13
* Who is appropriate to refer to a support group? Patients who are willing to listen to others and talk about themselves are good candidates for a support group. Exclusionary criteria include refusal to abide by group guidelines and serious problems with interpersonal relatedness. Contrary to popular opinion, patients who do not do well in groups are not good group candidates. Caution also needs to be exercised when including patients who are highly impulsive, acutely suicidal, or psychotic. 14

The Exodus Project
Nicholas Bowden
Part One
Tyler walked slowly down the road, kicking small rocks that he saw. It was coming close to the end of summer and he still hadn't done anything, except work at the Riley's farm so he could earn a little bit of money. Some of the guys had invited him to a party for the Fourth of July, but he wasn't one for parties, so he didn't go. He did this often. Just walking. Nothing else. He could do it for hours, not caring where he went. He always made it home of course, his memory made sure of that. His doctors and teachers treated him like the eighth wonder of the world. According to them, he had an IQ higher than Einstein and a memory that couldn't be matched anywhere in the world. He remembered even the smallest details. He knew where everything in his house was. Two days ago, when his sister lost her iPod, she asked him where it was. He remembered exactly where it was. It was under the couch; dead center. He had seen it a few times there. He also remembered her headphones were exactly four inches to the left of the iPod, and the charging cable was plugged into their mom's computer. People told him it was a gift; sometimes it was a curse though. Always remembering everything. Everything that he saw, heard, felt, or smelled. He can walk through his entire house with his eyes closed without stepping on or bumping into anything. When his teachers would misplace a pencil, they would call him up to the front of the classroom and ask him where it is. He would instantly point it out. Then they would praise him and send him back to his seat. It was the most embarrassing thing in the world. He was in high school but they acted like he was in the first grade. Of course, this made him a target for the local gang of bullies. They tried to stuff him into a locker on the last day of school, but they quickly realized he was too big.
The only people who didn't treat him like he was different were his few friends and the hockey team. Yeah, he was on the hockey team. People thought that he was just a dorky kid with no friends, but he was actually the captain of the school hockey team. Not many people knew. Just his friends and the guys. The bullies didn't know that he could beat the living tar out of them if he wanted to or, with one word, he could have the whole team on them. But he chose not to. He didn't want people thinking he's cool just because he was the captain of the school hockey team. So he kept it a secret. No one recognized him when he was in full gear, so he didn't have a problem with people coming to the games. No one knew that his last name was Johnson either. So they didn't even know it was him when they saw the back of his jersey. People cheered him on every time he played, but they never really knew who they were cheering on. People put his jersey number on their lockers, books, even on their own hoodies, not knowing who the owner of that number really was. Girls had pictures of him while he was playing taped to their lockers, but if they knew it was him they would tear the pictures down, so he never told anyone. He let them have their idol; Johnson, captain of the hockey team, number forty-five. He played left defense, and he was one of the best players in the team. Girls asked the rest of the team for his number on a daily basis.
Nobody knew who he really was. The kid that the teachers loved. Top of every class. The kid with only a few friends. The geek. The nerd. The kid who the bullies targeted and the one who everyone stayed far away from out of fear of being bullied themselves. He lived two lives, and no one knew. Only the hockey team, his friends, and his family. He kept it that way. He liked it that way.
When he got to the end of the road, he turned left onto a path through the woods. He walked for another twenty minutes until he emerged on the other side in his backyard. He did that every day. Leave his house, walk around, cut through the woods and always wind up right back at his house but this time, instead of going inside, he turned around and walked back through the woods. He didn't know why, he just did it.
It was getting late into the afternoon, but he didn't care. He just kept walking. When he came to the stop sign that he usually turned right at, he turned left. He was walking through a small neighborhood. The street wasn't very busy, but it was a Saturday in the middle of summer and he didn't expect it to be busy. He soon began to recognize the neighborhood; most of the guys from the hockey team lived there. He liked the neighborhood. Small children played in their front yards, sprinklers watered lawns, and the sun shined down like everything was perfect. Then he saw the guys.
They were running from yard to yard shooting at each other with airsoft guns, taking cover behind trees, mailboxes and anything else they could find besides cars. They learned not to hide behind those the hard way. Tyler played airsoft with them every once in awhile, but didn't really feel like it then, so he kept walking. He only got to the next street when he finally needed to sit down and rest. It was the middle of summer and was almost ninety-five degrees outside. He rested on a cool rock and pulled his black baseball cap over his eyes. The warm sun beat down on his chest, which was covered only by a thin purple tee-shirt. He laid there with his legs stretched out on the grass and his head on the rock and drifted into a calm, quiet sleep.
***
He woke to the sound of a loud truck. Much to his surprise, he looked to his left and saw a girl sitting a few feet off. She looked about his age, she wore blue jeans and a white tee-shirt. Her long blonde hair was pulled into a ponytail. She had a soccer ball under her left arm, a water bottle in her right. She just sat there next to him, occasionally taking a drink from her water bottle. He looked to his right and saw a moving truck pulling out of a driveway. He looked back to his left and the girl was still there. He bit his tongue, which hurt, so he wasn't dreaming. There was actually a girl sitting next to him that he'd never seen before. She didn't go to his school last year, he would know. She must've moved here recently, which would make sense considering he'd just seen a moving truck pull out of her driveway. As he realized this, he also realized he must be in her yard. It must be weird walking outside and finding a random teenage guy sleeping in your yard. He sat up and ran a hand through his short, blonde hair which was dampened with sweat. He leaned over to picked up his hat which had fallen off when he sat up.
"Finally, you're awake." Said the girl.
"Yeah, um. Sorry about falling asleep in your yard." He replied as he put his hat back onto his head. "You new here?"
"Yeah, we just finished unloading the truck when I saw you sleeping on in our yard." She explained.
"So, where are you from?" Tyler asked.
"Nashville, my dad got a job here so we moved. Mom wasn't too happy about it." She replied.
He didn't understand. She didn't know him, and had never seen him before. Why was she being so open towards him? When most people sawn people sleeping in their yard, they thought it was creepy. She seemed perfectly okay with it.
"My name's Tyler. I live just outside the neighborhood." He said, deciding not to worry about it for now. She offered her hand so he shook it.
"I'm Katie. Katie Peterson. Does 'Tyler' have a last name too?" She asked jokingly. Tyler hesitated. He never told people his last name.
"Mitchells" he lied. Mitchells was actually his friend Carter's last name, but he knew Carter didn't care.
"Why exactly were you sleeping in my yard?" She asked with a smile.
"Oh, no reason. I was walking and sat down to rest. Then I fell asleep." He explained
"Fair enough." She said and handed him a water bottle.
"Thanks." He said,and had just raised it to his lips to take a drink when he heard three quiet pops and a sharp pain in his arm. "Crap! I didn't think they'd make it this far!" He said as he jumped to his feet. "Quick! Follow me!" He yelled as he pulled Katie to her feet. Shouts rang out across the street. The team had brought their airsoft game down the street. He got hit a few more times before he and Katie made it to cover behind a small brick wall.
"What the heck is going on?" Katie asked rubbing her leg where she got hit.
"Don't worry about it, they're not trying to hit us. It's the school hockey team. They do this every once in awhile." Tyler explained
"What? Shoot at random people?" She asked breathing heavily.
"They're not shooting at us." He reassured her again.
"Then

Tyler. I wish I could but I can't." She replied.
"Wh..why?" He asked trying to choke back the tears that were filling his eyes. "You did it to me... Why can't you do it again?"
He watched as the ship began to slowly move towards the other ship.
"No... Katie... Don't. Don't do this. You don't have to." Tyler said.
"Yes, I do. You know I do."
"Sir, thirty seconds till the Exodus hits the enemy ship." Pierce chimed in.
It seemed as though the other ship just realized what Katie was trying to do. They started hailing missiles at the Exodus. Tyler watched in horror as the ship was ripped to pieces, one deck at a time.
"Katie..." Tyler started, but never got to speak. Tyler watched as the ship exploded. Tyler went numb to everything around him. The people, the shuttle, the enemy ship. None of them mattered right now. He felt as though a hole had been ripped through his chest. He couldn't think. His head throbbed. She was gone. Carter was gone. The captain was gone. He had failed his mission. Now everyone looked to him for orders. How was he supposed to do that? The ship was gone, transmissions were being jammed, and the shuttles were being destroyed one by one. What was he supposed to do? He had to keep these people alive. But how?
```
He stood. He knew what to do. "Get me aboard that ship." He said quietly. "Sir?" "Get me aboard the enemy ship." "But..."
```
"Is there a problem commander?"
"No sir."
"Then follow your orders, and don't question them." Tyler said as he pulled one of the new pulse rifles out of the weapon's cabinet.
"Yes sir."
Pierce punched a few commands into the terminal.
"I'm putting you in the shuttle bay. There shouldn't be a soul in sight." She told him. "Whenever you're ready captain."
"Go ahead."
He was encased in the orange light again, and the shuttle disappeared. Now he was in the other ship. Pierce was right about sending him to the shuttle bay, but it was crowded with people. It only took them a couple seconds before they started shouting.
Tyler bolted for the elevator that he assumed would take him to the command deck. Shots rang out behind him, but he didn't stop to return fire. Not until he was in the elevator did he turn and face the shooters, but when he did, he was staring down the barrel of an enemy rifle.
"Drop the gun." the soldier ordered.
Tyler slowly leaned over and set the gun down. As he bent over, he noticed the knife strapped to the soldiers boot. Tyler dove into his legs sending the soldier toppling over. He yanked the knife free and drove it hard into the man's leg. The man screamed as blood ran down his leg. Tyler dragged the man to his feet and held the knife to his throat.
"Nobody move!" He screamed, and everyone froze. "Put your guns on the floor!" They all complied.
"Now everyone get against the wall!" One by one they walked over to a wall and put their hands against it. Tyler slowly backed into the elevator. He noticed a grenade hanging from the soldier's belt. In a flash, Tyler drove the knife into the man's ribs. He grabbed the grenade as the man fell, and threw it as the doors were closing. He was already a deck above them when it exploded. Too late he realized he had left his pulse rifle in the shuttle bay. He grabbed the dead soldiers gun. It was an AK-47. It was old, but it would have to do. He grabbed the last grenade from the man's belt. He would have to make it count. The doors slowly opened. Tyler pressed himself against the wall as bullets flew dangerously close to his face. It was several seconds before they stopped firing. He rolled the grenade onto the deck and started firing. Those who he didn't hit were killed by the grenade. All except the captain. The captain's left leg was blown off by the grenade, but he was surprisingly still alive. Tyler grabbed the knife from the soldier.
"You killed my crew, my captain, my friends. You destroyed my ship, and to do so killed hundreds of men and women. Some of them not even older than seventeen. Now, you're going to tell me who you work for, and where their base of operations is." Tyler said.
"Long live the Czar!" The captain replied.
"So that's how it's going to be, ey?" Tyler asked. "Now we know who you work for."
Tyler slowly began to press the knife against the captains one remaining leg until he drew blood.
"I'm going to ask you again, who are you working for and where is their base of operational?" Tyler asked, driving the knife deeper with each word.
The captain didn't make a noise, but Tyler could see the pain in his eyes. After a good fifteen seconds, Tyler slammed the but of the knife into the side of the Russian's head. Blood ran down his cheek into his mouth. Suddenly, the captain spat the blood back into Tyler's face. Tyler shook his head.
"Russians." He scoffed. Tyler drove the knife into the captain's chest. He stood, cleaned the blade, and sheathed it. He walked over to a terminal and plugged his gauntlet into the main computer. Everything was in Russian, but the translators back at HQ could solve that problem. All Tyler needed to do was download everything. Tyler set the ship to self destruct while his gauntlet was hooked up to the main computer. It was tricky, but nearly the same as the system on the Exodus. Once the download completed, he sent a signal back to the shuttle.
Suddenly, a shot rang out throughout the command deck. Lieutenant Park was pointing a revolver at him. Tyler looked at his chest. There was a single bullet hole. Blood began to pour out of the wound. The Park fired again. Another hole appeared in his chest. The gun clattered to the floor. Tyler had never known what it felt like to be drowning. He supposed this is what it felt like. He was choking on his own blood as it filled his lungs and throat. He started to fall. He couldn't stop himself. His head slammed hard into the floor. The orange light swirled around him, and the ship disappeared.
He was back on the shuttle.
"Commander? Commander! I need a doctor over here!" Pierce yelled. A man in a white uniform rushed over.
"Get him in the cryotube." The doctor ordered.
Tyler's vision blurred. The cryotube's lid shut. Within seconds, Tyler's breathing slowed. He could feel the blood freezing to his chest. Then he couldn't move. He tried to speak, but not even his lips could move. Slowly, very slowly, the world turned black around him.
Author's Note
I don't really expect anyone to read this, but if you are, I thank you. I started out writing the Exodus Project in December of 2014. I was fourteen years old as of September 1st of that year. I was on Christmas break and was so bored that I sat down with my iPad and began writing. I had no idea where I was going with the story. As a matter of fact, I never did. It started out with the title, The Bittersweet Tale. I'm not sure why though. latter on I found that the title no longer fit, so I changed it to The Exodus Project. What I loved the most about writing this was two things: firstly the fact that I never knew what would happen next until I had written it, secondly the support and love from the first readers. I originally released The Exodus Project to my readers in the three separate parts. I would finish a part and instantly share it with my readers. They asked me to write a part two after I had shared part one, so I set to work on part two. Once I released part two, I then had to do a part three to finish it off. Of course, I never could have done it without the support of my readers, and more importantly my editor, Maggie Clugston. Maggie was my very first reader. She and I had been going to school together and become friends after a few weeks of me sitting around awkwardly by myself. I was new to the school. She soon became my friend, along with many other wonderful people. I shared The Exodus Project with her when I had only written the first few paragraphs. She continued to read as I would write, then, one day, she asked to be my editor. I
couldn't turn her down. It was hard enough to write the entire thing on an iPad. I was sure I had made a few mistakes and would make dozens more. People, including Maggie, wonder why I end up killing most of the main characters in the end. I've wondered this myself, and as I've thought to myself, I've come to a conclusion. By killing off main characters, I've created a world of opportunities in which I can expand, or even create a second novel.

SEPTEMBER PCAS SPEAKER
Dr. John E. Collins
PCAS MEETINGS CALENDAR GENERAL MEETING
An Introduction to Southwest and Southern California Indian Baskets
Dr. Collins will briefly discuss the origins of Indian baskets, after which he will discuss materials, designs, techniques, uses, and care of the baskets. To supplement the verbal presentation, he will "show and tell" a representative selection from his collection of Hopi, Navajo, Tohono O'Odham (aka Papago), Akimel O'Odham (aka Pima), Apache, and Southern California ("Mission") baskets acquired over the past 30-plus years. If PCAS members have baskets they would like to have identified, Dr. Collins will be glad to do his best to do so, but he will not attempt to make appraisals, since an appraisal depends upon many variables.
Dr. John E. Collins is a retired educator, retiring in 1985 after 36 years as a teacher, counselor, and administrator. He received his doctorate from the University of Southern California, with a major in Counseling Psychology. After retiring, he began a private practice as a Marriage Family Therapist. For more than 40 years, he and his wife, Eileen, have traveled to Indian Country (Arizona and New Mexico) making many Indian friends while collecting Indian baskets and pottery. Along the way, visiting Indian homes, attending katsina (aka kachina) dances, feast days, galleries, museums, and trading posts (and roadside stands!), they also acquired jewelry, beadwork, katsina dolls, and Navajo rugs.

JUNE SPEAKER NOTES
Buried Sites Archaeology: Life by the Lakes in Laguna Canyon during the Intermediate and Late Prehistoric Period
Submitted by Megan Galway
June's lecture presented three different aspects of LSA's Laguna Canyon project. Roderic McLean led off the evening with a discussion of the logistical aspects of the project. Laguna Canyon is described as the only good travel route through the San Joaquin Hills and has been used as such from early prehistoric times until today. The site had been tested in 1980, and data-recovery conducted in 22 units. Study results indicated seasonal use in late prehistoric times. When road construction was planned for the canyon, monitoring was suggested and initiated. Mr. McLean described the difficulties inherent in studying a deeply buried, rocky site. Ground penetrating radar showed several anomalies, but it was difficult to tell whether these were cultural or natural, and conductivity testing also targeted natural rock. When features were identified, half of each feature was excavated to reveal the stratigraphy, which extended many feet deep. Fire affected rock, groundstone, and other artifact caches were identified, but no traditional midden was noted, leading to the conclusion that this was a series of seasonal, hunter-gatherer encampments. Stratigraphy indicated an early heavy depositional period that later slowed. During the 2005-2007 field seasons, five sample units and ten anomaly units were excavated. Although the site is considered feature based, only 23 features were identified. Significant artifacts included asphaltum, groundstone, a bone awl, and ochre. Shellfish were identified as being from nearby Laguna Beach and Newport Bay. The study concluded the site was a series of reoccupied camps, not residential based villages, with the highest occupation in the Intermediate Period, and associated with Newport Bay in the later period. There was no evidence of historic occupation.
Joyce Stanfield Perry then spoke on her experiences as a Native American monitor on this project, from a cultural and spiritual point of view. Ms. Perry is an Acjachemen tribal scholar and manager for the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, and her family has deep roots in southern California. She explained two methods of personal introduction—the first would introduce her as a native scholar with knowledge based on observation, lived experience, search, relationships, and stories,
Program Chair Joe Hodulik with June speakers Roderic McLean, Joyce Perry, and Paul Langenwalter II.
song, and ceremony; the second method, and the one more familiar to academics, would tell of her accomplishments—what she does, not who she is.
Ms. Perry worked on the project from 2003 to 2005 and spoke of feeling cheerful as she enjoyed the natural world around her─even after an encounter with a huge swarm of bees. She told us of the day her 18-year-old son, Todd, found a bowl exposed by the grading and his growing understanding of the work they were doing. She watched the hatching and development of three hawks and named one of them for her father who had recently died from lung cancer. Ms. Perry then addressed the "cultural disconnect" between western scientists and the Native communities She expressed past anger at CRM firms and their apparent devaluing of native knowledge, believing "this right to know has actually inhibited true education, because the 'wannabee' culture vulture urge trivializes tribal information." She believes that joint presentations such as this will, ultimately, be beneficial to both communities.
Paul E. Langenwalter II concluded the presentation with a report on a dog burial at CA-ORA-1055. This burial is one of very few known in southern California and the only one from the Intermediate Horizon. The dog was identified as a Techichi, a small dog standing about 38 cm at the shoulder. It was buried in a folded, rather than flexed or extended, position and covered with a metate, further indicating this was an intentional burial. Researchers could not say whether this was a simple pet burial or destruction of property on the death of its owner, but other than the covering metate, no other associated grave goods were found. The burial was dated at 1,790 BP.
JUNE BOARD MEETING SUMMARY
President Scott Findlay called the meeting to order on June 15, 2010, at 7:07 pm at the Old County Courthouse, Santa Ana, California. Meeting day had been changed to Tuesday because another event was held at the Old County Courthouse on our regular Thursday meeting date. Board members present: Scott Findlay, Steve O'Neil, Megan Galway, Rene Brace, Gail Cochlin, Sherri Gust, Jane Gothold, and Kathleen Shada. Members present: Bob Brace and Hank Koerper.
The May 2010 minutes were approved. The treasurer's report and expenditures were approved.
The PCAS website upgrade is complete and working well. All publications from the old website were saved and remain available online. Sherri Gust and an associate will review our historic bottle collection at the July curation workday. This collection has no archaeological provenience. Work on cataloging in the Library will resume after storage crates are removed, and once the cataloging is complete, we will review our holdings and remove volumes not relevant to our mission.
The Board agreed to a donation sponsorship of $100 to the California Indian Conference to be held at UCI, October 14-15. Steve O'Neil suggested that a PCAS member give a presentation on the adoption of the PCAS Curation Guidelines. The Board appointed Steve O'Neil to the newly created committee position of Native American Liaison.
In preparation for the November election of Directors, Scott Findlay appointed Steve O'Neil, Mark Roeder, and Ivan Strudwick to the Nominations Committee. The committee will function as it has in past years and will recruit candidates who are willing to be members of a working Board of Directors and who will attend Board and General meetings.
Joe Hodulik's donation/award table generated $103 for the scholarship fund at the June meeting! Steve O'Neil will

The following principles have been adopted by the PCAS:
1. Professional methods and forms will be used on all archaeological field surveys, excavations, and laboratory sessions.
2. A complete record of field and laboratory work will be filed with the PCAS Curator and stored at a facility approved by the Society's Board of Directors.
3. No archaeological materials will be removed without proper permits, landowner permission, and a field research design.
4. Unless otherwise legally stipulated before activity commences, all materials collected will be deposited for further research with the Curator at a facility approved by the Society's Board of Directors.
5. All generated reports will be the property of the Society and distributed as deemed appropriate.
6. All Society field activities will be performed only under the direction of a qualified field archaeologist (Principal Investigator) and the supervision of field or site directors.
7. The above principles will be observed on both Society approved projects and projects performed under the direction of an authorized institution or organization.
8. The Society and its members will strive to educate the public of the importance and proper management of our non-renewable cultural resources and to discourage the collection and commercial exploitation of archaeological materials.
9. PCAS members shall not benefit from the acquisition, purchase, sale, or trade of archaeological artifacts, materials, or specimens.
10. All members shall adhere to City, County, State, and Federal antiquities laws.

Monthly Revenue Report
Office of Economic & Demographic Research
Volume 29, Number 12 June 2009
Revised General Revenue Collections for June 2009 (Sales Tax Data Reported is Unaudited))
General Revenue (GR) collections for June 2009 were $24.9 M over the estimates adopted by the General Revenue Estimating Conference (GR REC) on March 13, 2009. Sales Tax GR was $4.3 M (3/10ths of 1%) under estimate for the month. Two of the six Sales Tax components were over estimate in May. The Automobiles component was $9.3 M (about 4.5%) over estimate, and the Building component was $3.1 M (about 4.6%) over estimate for the month. The remaining four Sales Tax components came in under estimate. The largest shortfall was in Business, which fell $25.1 M (about 8.9%) under estimate for the month. The Consumer Non-Durables component was short of estimate by $13.7 M or about 3.2%. Smaller shortfalls were seen in the Tourism component ($1.8 M or about 0.6% under estimate) and Other Durables component ($1.0 M or about 1.1% under estimate). Sales Tax GR got a boost from Audit Assessments which came in $4.5 M (or about 50%) over estimate, but was hurt by the transfer from the Communications Services Tax, which fell $10.3 M (or about 10%) short of estimate.
had been anticipated in the estimate, ending the fiscal year up by $20.1 M.
Refunds were over estimate, which reduces Net GR. Total Refunds were over estimate by $11.5 M, with the Corporate Income Tax Refunds leading the way at $11.0 M over estimate. To summarize, Net GR collections for June were $24.9 M over estimate for the month, ending the 2008-09 fiscal year at $81.0 M over estimate. The table below is based on the March 2009 REC monthly estimates. A listing of the estimates from the March 13, 2009 GR REC, together with work papers and summaries, is available at http://edr.state.fl.us/ Content. Next month's estimates will be based on these same March 2009 estimates adjusted for law changes made during the 2009 Regular Legislative Session.
General Revenue Collections
Month: $24.9 M over the March 2009 estimate; $606.7 M under the March 2008 estimate adjusted for the 2008 session law changes estimate. Although Beverage Taxes fell $4.9 M under estimate for the month of June, collections for the fiscal year were virtually right on target at only $0.1 M under estimate. Similarly, Tobacco Taxes were $1.5 M under estimate in June, but ended the fiscal year $7.9 M over estimate. Drivers Licenses Fees and Automobile Title Fees (both $0.3 M under their respective estimates) complete the list of sources under estimate.
Sources over estimate in June included some of the larger GR sources. Again, the largest was Corporate Income Taxes, at $37.4 M over estimate. A statutory change to the due-date for Corporate Income Tax may have had some impact. (Details of the change can be found at the Department of Revenue's website at http:// dor.myflorida.com/dor/tips/tip08c01-08.html.) The next largest source the Documentary Stamp Tax at $9.8 M over estimate for June, due to higher than anticipated collections. Intangibles Taxes on obligations secured by liens on Florida realty were also over estimate. These two sources generally follow the same pattern, as both relate to the Florida real estate market. Among other sources, Earnings on Investments were $8.1 M over estimate for June, primarily due to gains from sales of investments. Earnings on Investment were revised from the earlier report because a securities lending loss had not been booked correctly, resulting in an overstatement of cash upon which the interest calculation was made. Corporate Filing Fees were $2.8 M over estimate for the month. These fees are collected by the Department of State. This source was not as heavily impacted by the economic downturn as
Year: $81.0 M over the March 2009 estimate; $4,112.0 M under the March 2008 estimate adjusted for 2008 session law changes
June Lottery Transfers to DOE
Sources were about evenly split between over and under estimate for the month. The largest shortfalls were in Other Taxes and Fees and in Medical Hospital Fees. Other Taxes and Fees fell $11.1 M (about 46%) under estimate, with the shortfall coming from timing of transfers and from many small sources falling under estimate. Among other sources falling short, Medical Hospital fees (reimbursements to the state by counties for certain Medicaid services) were $9.9 M (almost 42%) under estimate for the current month, ending the fiscal year $18.3 M (about 11.7%) under
Month: $127.585 M; $30.3 M above the Febru-
ary 2009 estimate
Year: $1,284.741 M: $58.7 M above the Febru- ary 2009 estimate; $40.4 M above the July 2008 estimate

Christmas at the Creation Museum, Page 2
FOR INFORMATION, CONTACT: Melany Ethridge 972-267-1111
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHRISTMAS AT THE CREATION MUSEUM:
'Bethlehem's Blessings' Featuring Live Nativity, Special Guests, Holiday Festivities, Make Museum a Favorite December Attraction
PETERSBURG, KY., November 5, 2008 – While you might wonder what the Book of Genesis and Christmas have to do with each other, the Creation Museum outside Cincinnati has combined the two in a way that presents the wonders the two have in common.
"Christmas is about hope and faith and love, and the fulfillment of God‟s plan for humanity," said Creation Museum co-founder and spokesperson Mark Looy. "The created world is God‟s backdrop for this amazing story of redemption and relationship. We find the two – Creation and Christmas – go very well together, and we invite our guests to experience each in light of the other at our special „Bethlehem‟s Blessings – A Christmas Celebration‟ this December."
"In addition, the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Creator, and we make this clear in many of our exhibits, culminating with our stirring film, „The Last Adam,‟" Looy adds. "The story reveals Christ‟s purpose in coming, as the sacrificial Lamb of God. Guests are usually pleasantly surprised that the museum presents the whole gospel, not just the Old Testament book of Genesis."
The centerpiece of the museum‟s "Bethlehem‟s Blessings" presentation is a live outdoor nativity scene, featuring human actors in each of the Christmas story roles, and of course sheep, donkeys, and camels – all the usual animals present during the birth of the Christ child – courtesy of the museum‟s own petting zoo. Museum staff and volunteers will alternate as Joseph, Mary, the shepherds, and caravan traders. A special lighted trail, "The Road to Bethlehem," will feature a glimpse of the first Christmas in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago.
Because the live nativity is an outdoor exhibit (open 2 p.m. – close, Dec. 12 – Jan. 4, except Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day), guests can experience "Bethlehem‟s Blessings" for free and not pay admission to visit the museum building. The museum itself will remain open late on twelve days during the season (until 8 p.m.), Dec. 12 – 13, 19 – 20, 22 – 23, 26 – 27, and 31, and Jan 2 – 4.
Christmas at the Creation Museum, Page 2
Visitors to the museum grounds will also enjoy hayrides, seasonal lights and decorations, holiday food, and fun events and activities for children. Special Christmas exhibits inside the museum (tickets are required) include the Planetarium presentation, "The Bethlehem Star."
As a Christmas gift to the community and to remind everyone of the wonderful free gift of salvation through Christ (who was the Baby in the Bethlehem manger), the museum will be open to the public for free on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Normally a $21.95 value for adults/$16.95 for seniors/$11.95 for children, this includes all of the inside exhibits, the "Men in White" film at the Special Effects theater, "The Last Adam" film, the "Dragon Theater" featuring legends of dragons and dinosaurs, plus the popular planetarium program "The Christmas Star" (limited seating in the planetarium; on a first-come basis). Because of the short day, there will be no nativity on the 24th.
"This free gift to the community on the 24th is one way of saying „thank you‟ to those who have been so supportive of the Creation Museum," Looy said. "We would love to see as many of our Tri-state neighbors here as possible."
The "Bethlehem‟s Blessings" festivities get under way on Dec. 12, with a chance for the media to get an advance preview on Dec. 11 from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. The live nativity will run from 2 p.m. until close (except on the 24th and 25th) and the seasonal light displays will begin at dusk each day.
The Creation Museum, located near the Cincinnati Airport, is a ministry of Answers in Genesis, a nonprofit Christian organization dedicated to confirming the validity of the Bible from the very first verse. Since its opening in May 2007, the museum has seen 590,000 visitors, way above anticipated crowds of 250,000 for the first year. The usual museum hours are 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday – Thursday; 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Fridays; 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturdays; and 12 p.m. (noon) – 6 p.m. on Sundays, except for the 12 special days mentioned above when the museum will remain open until 8 p.m.

To arrange an interview with Creation Museum representatives, please contact Melany Ethridge of A. Larry Ross Communications at 972.267.1111 or Melany@alarryross.com. The media's advance Christmas preview is Dec. 11, and includes a reception with holiday treats, running from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.; this will also feature a walking tour of the specially created outdoor Road to Bethlehem and live nativity, Christmas planetarium program, and a walk-through tour of the museum after

10 Mammogram Myths and Facts
Putting Off Your Mammogram? Your Reasons May Be Weaker Than You Think
Share this:
Font size:
AAA
By Amanda Gardner
WebMD Feature
Reviewed by Kecia Gaither, MD, MPH
You may have a million excuses not to get that annual mammogram, but your reasons may not be as good as you think. Don't blow off your appointment before you get the facts behind these myths and defenses.
1. Breast cancer doesn't run in my family, so I don't need to go.
It's true that if breast cancer runs in your family, you're more likely to get it, especially if your sister or mom had it. But most women who get breast cancer -- 85% -- have no family history of the disease. So get checked anyway.
2. I'm too young.
Breast cancer is most common in women 55 or older. But it can still happen to younger women. There are different guidelines about when to start. Ask your doctor what's right for you.
3. The radiation is too risky.
You'd get a lot less radiation from a mammogram than what you'd get on a plane trip from Houston to Paris, says Therese Bevers, MD. She is medical director of the Cancer Prevention Center at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. You know you'd take a free ticket to Paris in a heartbeat. Don't think twice about a mammogram either.
4. I'm afraid of what they might find.
Don't jump to conclusions. Remember, 80% of callbacks turn out to be benign, Bevers says. Also, a mammogram doesn't change anything. It just gives you information about what's already there. If a mammogram finds something that turns out to be cancer, wouldn't you rather know about it sooner than later?
5. It's too expensive.
Not anymore. Mammograms are free under the health care reform law (the Affordable Care Act), with no deductibles and no copays. Medicare also covers mammograms. If for some reason you fall through the cracks, there are other free or low-cost options. Call the National Cancer Institute at 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237) for information.
6. It's too painful.
Mammograms are pretty quick. Any discomfort is brief, says Debbie Saslow, PhD, director of breast and gynecologic cancer at the American Cancer Society. It can help to:
- Schedule the screening test when your breasts are less sensitive (i.e. not right before your period).
- Take an aspirin or over-the-counter pain reliever before.
- Let the technologist know that you might be sensitive. He or she might be able to make the mammogram a more positive experience.
7. I don't have any lumps.
That's good, but mammograms can find small tumors up to 3 years before you can feel them. Those small, early-stage tumors are treatable.
8. I'm too busy.
Make the time. Mammograms only take 15-30 minutes, and it's part of your routine health care. "It's a lot more time-consuming if you get sick," Saslow says.
9. My breasts are too dense.
Mammograms may be less helpful in finding cancer in dense breasts, but they're not useless. If your mammogram isn't readable because you have dense breasts, you may get a second check with an ultrasound or MRI.
10. I eat right and I exercise regularly, so I'm not at risk.
Keep up the good work and still get tested. A healthy lifestyle may lower your risk of getting breast cancer, but "it doesn't eliminate it," Saslow

Members of the Public: 3
Public Session
i) A member of the public (MOP) addressed the meeting to comment on traffic speeds in the village that have got worse since lockdown has been lifted. The MOP commented that he was one of several villagers who had registered interest in the Community Speed Watch initiative, had completed the online training and was waiting for the project to start following suspension during restrictions. Community Speed Watch volunteers have since been advised that the police have not been able to identify a safe space from which to conduct the speed watch and there is no support for a Police speed check, as data on road speed does not put Harbertonford in a priority area for a Police mobile unit. The MOP commented on data from the traffic survey showing the number of vehicles breaching the speed limit in the vicinity of the zebra crossing. Cllrs commented that the Parish Council has been campaigning about this issue since 2005. The issue would be raised again at item 3 and considered at item 8. ii) A MOP addressed the meeting to comment on youth work in Harbertonford by the Totnes Rural Area Youth Engagement project. As the Parish Council has provided support to TRAYE's work in the village, the Parish Council was asked to support the conversation with the Parish Hall committee around access to equipment owned by Harbertonford's previous youth club, and access to storage space within the hall. Whilst this is primarily an issue between TRAYE and Harbertonford Village Hall Committee, the clerk will make contact with members of the previous youth club committee, and the Harbertonford Hall bookings secretary to make some enquiries. iii) A MOP addressed the meeting on behalf of Sustainable Harbourne Valley to ask the Parish Council to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency (CEE) bill that is currently making its way through parliament. Sustainable Harbourne Valley would be grateful for support from the Parish Council as members of the group do not believe the government is doing enough fast enough to address the climate emergency.
Agenda
1. Apologies were received as above and sanctioned.
Cllrs were informed that due to other commitments Cllr McDonnell had resigned from the Parish Council with immediate effect. Cllrs were informed that Cllr McDonnell had enjoyed working with the Clerk and the Councillors and would like to thank them all for their commitment to making the parish a special place to live in. Cllr McDonnell will transfer ownership of the Harberton Parish Neighbourhood Plan files back to the Parish Council. It was agreed to discuss circumstances surrounding continuation of the neighbourhood plan at the next meeting, as following the resignation of both Cllr McDonnell and Cllr Davidson there is no Cllr representation on the subcommittee.
2. Declaration of Interests
2.1 Register of Interests: Cllrs were reminded of the need to update their register of interests.
2.2 No interests were declared on items on the agenda.
3. Reports for information from:
3.1 County Councillor (C.Cllr) The C.Cllr had circulated a report by email earlier in the day. The following matters were raised:
3.1.1 A381 The C.Cllr commented on the problem reporting in on a whole number of Highways issues, remarking that no matter what is asked for, the answer is no. The C.Cllr can only apologies for the lack of action on highways issues that have been escalated by the Parish Council and believes it totally unacceptable. It was commented that the proposed update to the surface of the A381 in Harbertonford has been delayed for a further year, requests for 20mph speed limit are being delayed until the outcome of pilot in Newton Abbot which is still yet to occur 2.5 years after approval. Queries around parking restrictions and waiting restrictions have stalled. The C.Cllr commented that multi-million pounds are available for new roads, but there isn't any budget to make necessary repairs or improvements to the current network. The C.Cllr commented that the Parish Council could look to change driver behaviour in Harbertonford by installing gateway signs into the village, which can be pursued directly by the Parish Council with planning consent. The County Councillor could provide some support to such a project with her locality fund.
3.2 District Councillor (D.Cllr) The D.Cllr offered apologies for not circulating a written report.
3.2.1 Waste Article in Totnes Times The D.Cllr is one of several District Councillor signatories to an article that putting pressure on the District Council to terminate the contract with the waste contractor FCC as the only way out of the current unsatisfactory waste collection service. The Executive is currently looking at
alternative solutions. The D.Cllr comments that the current decision to suspend collection of green waste and allow 'co-mingling' of recycling waste was made to take alleviate pressure from the contractor before transportation to Avonmouth for sorting. There is no confidence in the feasibility that waste will be adequately sorted after collection in the compactor lorry. Rounds are still being missed without communicating this to the Executive.
3.2.2 Climate Change There is now a task and finish group of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee with terms of reference that give the group broad scope. The next stage is to develop a programme of work with a targeted action plan to measure progress against. The D.Cllr commented that it will be difficult to meet the Paris Accord targets and the Council needs to look at how emissions will be reduced by 50% over the next 5 years and look to reduced traffic on the A381 by 10% in the next 10 months. Time is now pressing and there is no time for feasibility studies but move to swift action. When asked when projects following consultation on carbon and wildlife projects will be realised, the D.Cllr didn't know but would follow this up.
3.2.3 A381 The D.Cllr has been told that Highways will not liaise with him directly but only through the C.Cllr or the Parish Clerk as that Highways is not within the remit of the District Council. In relation to arguments against action being taken due to traffic speeds being acceptable, the D.Cllr comments that the 85% percentile is a blunt instrument. He reiterates 1000 cars a week going through Harbertonford above the threshold of 30mph within meters of a zebra crossing and he won't stop pestering Highways until they do something about it. The D.Cllr would support the cost of installing Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) which the Parish Council can request to be installed, as costs have to be met outside of the Highways budget. The D.Cllr has requested the Parish Council seeks permission to install the signs to enable the campaign to take it from there. This would be considered further at item 8.
3.2.4 Weed removal The D.Cllr informed the Parish Council that any requests for weed removal can be taken up with the Localities Team.
3.2.5 Parish Council comments A Cllr suggested withholding Council Tax if services are not delivered. Other councillors commented responsibility for council tax is not contingent on regular delivery of services.
4. Minutes It was RESOLVED to approve the following minutes an accurate record:
4.1 Ordinary Meeting of Harberton Parish Council 27 th July 2021
4.2 EGM (Planning) meeting of Harberton Parish Council 24 th August 2021
5. Report Matters Arising from the Minutes for information only
5.1 Harberton Devon Air Ambulance clearance area sign (Clerk) Ongoing
5.2 Instructions to conduct a tree survey Following the July meeting of the Parish Council the Clerk has instructed Dart Forest Tree Works to undertake a tree survey at Harberton and Harbertonford parks as soon as possible. A fee proposal of £495 plus VAT was accepted by the Clerk in consultation with the Vice Chair.
5.3 Removal of swing in Harbertonford Play Park Cllr Beamish reported having checked the condition of the swing and being of the opinion that it is not dangerous and need not be removed. Cllr Waite agreed to visit the park and give a second opinion.

Religious demands costing NHS over £40 million a year
Religious demands costing NHS over £40 million a year
Press Release 7 April 2009
Churches and religious organisations should fund their own presence in hospitals, says the National Secular Society (NSS), after it discovered that chaplaincy services are costing the National Health Service more than £32million. This would pay for around another 1,300 nurses or over 2,500 cleaning staff. Both are much-needed.
Using the Freedom of Information Act, the NSS undertook its own research into the cost of chaplaincy services after the Government said it did not keep centralised figures on such spending.
"The headline figure only takes into account the salaries of the chaplains, it doesn't take account of National Insurance contributions, pension payments, administration costs, office accommodation, training, the upkeep of chapels and prayer rooms," said Terry Sanderson, president of the NSS. "We can conservatively add another 20% to the headline figure taking it up to £40 million."
The NSS has now sent the report to the Health Minister, Alan Johnson, calling on him to review chaplaincy services with a view to ending taxpayer funding for them.
Mr Sanderson said: "We are not asking for an end to chaplaincy services, but we are asking that the taxpayer not be made responsible for them. In these times of financial stringency, hospitals are going to have to think very carefully about how they spend their budgets. Hospital chaplains are not on most people's list of essential services in a health care setting. "
Mr Sanderson said "For some people – we suspect a very few – chaplains serve a useful purpose. But most people would prefer the tens of millions spent of clerics to be spent instead on nurses, doctors, cleaners and equipment. After all, most of us go to hospital for medical treatment not for church services. Church attendance has been in decline for sixty years and the decline is independently forecast to continue."
Mr Sanderson said that if the churches and religious bodies considered these services so vital, they should be prepared to fund them themselves.
"Most people who go into a hospital come from the local area," said Mr Sanderson, "and it would be better if their own vicar, priest, rabbi or imam came to see them if they felt in need of religious support. This could be done as part of the clergy's regular duties – it should not fall as a burden on the NHS."
Mr Sanderson said he was asking the Health Minister to conduct more thorough research into what extent these services were actually used by patients and how appreciated they were. "We get plenty of mail from people who feel they have been pestered not only by chaplains, but by religiously-motivated nurses," he said. "Patients are not generally religious in their everyday life, and the presence of chaplains simply makes them feel unsettled and even irritated. Clergy should only be in hospital by request. A hospital should not be a happy hunting ground for religious proselytisers, whether they are chaplains or other hospital staff."
The NSS report reveals that not only are clerics employed, but in some cases organists are on the payroll to play in chapels. In some instances, Catholic priests are called to deliver "last rites" and they charge the hospital a call-out for it. "Surely it is not the hospital's responsibility to fund such activities," says Terry Sanderson. "The provision of last rites and other such rituals is surely a fundamental responsibility of the Church itself."
Terry Sanderson commented: "The average cost to the Health Service of a chaplain is £57,000 per annum. I'm sure if patients were asked where they wanted their money spent – two and a half nurses or more than four cleaners rather than one cleric – it is clear that nearly all would opt for the nursing or cleaning staff. It is time for the Church or religious organisations to accept their responsibility for providing these services in order to avoid hospitals having to cut front line medical care. It should look closely at the chaplaincy team and see what savings could be made there without any impact on patient care at all."

Abstract— Cache hierarchy designs, including bypassing, replacement, and the inclusion property, have significant performance impact. Recent works on high performance caches have shown that cache bypassing is an effective technique to enhance the last level cache (LLC) performance. However, commonly used inclusive cache hierarchy cannot benefit from this technique because bypassing inherently breaks the inclusion property.
This paper presents a solution to enabling cache bypassing for inclusive caches. We introduce a bypass buffer to an LLC. Bypassed cache lines skip the LLC while their tags are stored in this bypass buffer. When a tag is evicted from the bypass buffer, it invalidates the corresponding cache lines in upper level caches to ensure the inclusion property. Our key insight is that the lifetime of a bypassed line, assuming a well-designed bypassing algorithm, should be short in upper level caches and is most likely dead when its tag is evicted from the bypass buffer. Therefore, a small bypass buffer is sufficient to maintain the inclusion property and to reap most performance benefits of bypassing. Furthermore, the bypass buffer facilitates bypassing algorithms by providing the usage information of bypassed lines. We show that a top performing cache bypassing algorithm, which is originally designed for non-inclusive caches, performs comparably for inclusive caches equipped with our bypass buffer. The usage information collected from the bypass buffer also significantly reduces the cost of hardware implementation compared to the original design.
Keywords: Last level cache; cache bypassing; cache replacement policy; inclusion property
I. INTRODUCTION
With increasing working sets of applications, the performance of last level caches (LLCs) is critical to the overall computer system performance. Cache management contains two key components: (1) a replacement policy, which decides the victim block if a block needs to be replaced, and (2) an allocation policy which decides whether an incoming block should be allocated in the cache. A good cache replacement policy improves cache performance by selecting the least likely to be reused block as the victim and has been studied extensively [1][3][5][9][16][17][20][23]. A good cache allocation policy chooses to bypass a block to upper levels if it is predicted to be less useful than the blocks currently in the cache [7].
Another key design decision in cache hierarchies is the inclusion property between an LLC and upper level caches. Inclusion simplifies the hardware to support cache

coherence. It enables the LLC to act like a snoop filter because a data block is guaranteed to be absent in upper levels if not found in the LLC. As a result, inclusive caches have been widely used. With inclusive caches, the allocation policy is reduced to allocate all incoming requests by default in an LLC. This is the reason why previous bypassing algorithms [4][5][6][7][12][15][21][22][25] only work with non-inclusive/exclusive LLCs.
In this work, we propose a solution to enabling cache bypassing for inclusive LLCs. We introduce a new structure in an LLC, called a bypass buffer (BB), which keeps bypassed blocks to support the inclusion property (as shown in Figure 1d). Therefore, the last level cache hierarchy consists of an LLC and a bypass buffer. The bypass buffer keeps tags of the data blocks which are predicted to be less important than data present in the LLC. In this manner, the working set present in the LLC is not evicted to make room for less useful data. When a block is evicted from the LLC or BB, it invalidates the data copies present in upper level caches to maintain inclusion property. Our insight is that with a good bypassing algorithm, bypassed blocks should have a short lifetime in upper level caches. Therefore, a small BB is sufficient to ascertain that when a block is evicted from the BB, it is highly likely that its data copies in L1/L2 caches are either dead or already evicted. Furthermore, we show that our proposed BB provides an
Figure 1 shows various flavors of memory hierarchy organization possible with strict/flexible allocation policies combined with inclusive/non-inclusive LLCs. Figure 1a shows a non-inclusive cache where all the incoming cache blocks from memory are allocated in all three levels of caches. The LLC is non-inclusive and therefore the evictions from LLC are silent i.e. they do not try to invalidate the evicted data blocks from upper levels. On the other hand, an inclusive LLC (shown in Figure 1b) will force an eviction of the corresponding data block(s) from L1 and L2 cache when a cache block is evicted from LLC. This event is also referred as back invalidation. Applying a selective allocation policy/bypassing is straight forward on a non-inclusive LLC because the selected incoming blocks from memory can be filled into L1 cache and L2 cache only (as shown in Figure 1c) and it does not violate the noninclusion property. The inclusive LLC is strict about filling each incoming block from memory. This causes the inclusive cache hierarchy to be incapable of using cache bypassing or any selective allocation policy.

The key contributions of this paper include:
Second, we show that our proposed BB facilitates the design of bypassing algorithms and it significantly reduces the hardware cost of the DSB algorithm [6], a top performing cache-bypassing algorithm.
First, we make an important observation on the lifetime of bypassed blocks to motivate our low overhead BB idea.
Third, we evaluate our proposed solution and show that our bypass-enabled LLC achieves up to 42.0% and an average of 9.4% performance improvement over an inclusive 2MB LLC with the least-recently-used (LRU) replacement policy. Compared to a recently proposed high performing replacement policy, DRRIP [9], our proposed approach outperforms it for both single-core systems, by up to 11.3% and 2.5% on average, and 4-core systems, by up to 14.0% and 1.3% on average.
Fourth, we evaluate the performance of inclusive LLC with bypass-buffer in various cache configurations and different scenarios to conclude that bypass buffer can provide robust and effective solution to employing cache bypassing algorithms to inclusive LLCs.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section II motivates our approach and dissects the lifetime of bypassed blocks to motivate our low cost solution to enabling cache bypassing for inclusive LLCs. Section III details our design of adaptive bypassing for inclusive LLCs. Section IV presents the experimental methodology and Section V discusses the experimental results. We discuss related work in Section VI. Section VII concludes the paper.
II. MOTIVATION
Bypassing has been shown to be high performing by previous research. In particular, two of the three top performers in the 1 st JILP Cache Replacement Competition [11] use cache bypassing. On the other hand, many industrial designs, including Intel Core i7 [26], use inclusive last level caches which makes employing the cache bypassing on these designs a non-trivial task. As suggested in a recent work on cache bypassing algorithm [18], a bypassing algorithm can be modified to work with inclusive caches by inserting the bypassed block at the LRU (least recently used) position. In this manner, the bypassing candidates chosen by the bypassing algorithm are victimized on the next miss to the cache set. There are two main drawbacks to this approach. First, the cache blocks still need to be placed in the cache set thereby replacing one potentially more useful block. This problem is more likely to manifest itself in a cache where the set associativity is relatively low. Second, this approach is vulnerable to a pathological scenario where many consecutive accesses are mapped to a cache set. Due to the prediction of no future reuse, they will compete for the LRU position. As a result, the lifetime of these blocks is short, which causes the victimization of the same data blocks from upper levels. This will degrade performance of inclusive LLCs. These potential performance hazards are inherently present in any cache replacement algorithm and we show in Section V-D that a benchmark (sphinx) in our experiments indeed severely suffers from this problem. Therefore, we propose to combine the bypassing algorithm with inclusive caches without converting it to a replacement algorithm. The key reason is that a bypassing algorithm is higher performing than a replacement algorithm since it does not have to insert the data in a cache level if there is no future reuse at that level of cache. Now we present our motivation behind our bypass buffer idea.
We first make an important observation on cache bypassing algorithms. The goal of cache bypassing is to bypass blocks that have fewer reuses

performance gains of bypassing. Our proposed BB also enables us to significantly reduce the storage hardware cost of bypassing algorithms as it readily provides the usage information of bypassed cache blocks. Our experimental results show that our proposed design achieves high performance and outperforms a recently proposed high performing replacement algorithm, DRRIP, in both single core and 4-core systems. Our evaluation of our proposed design on different cache configurations and in presence of a stream prefetcher shows that it provides a cost-effective design for inclusive LLCs.

Vibhu Agarwal's Baat Bann Gayi, directed by Shuja Ali and produced by Sayed Asif Jah and Megha Agarwal, took place at Hard Rock Cafe, Andheri. Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Lesle Lewis, Inder Kumar, Salim, Javed Ali, Mudasir Ali, Roopkumar Rathod, Kuldeep Singh, Jaswinder Singh, Sardar Ali and a host of others stood hand in hand with composer Harpreet Singh for the release.
Other than the cast including Ali Fazal, Gulsan Grover, Anisa, Amrita Raichand, Razzak Khan and Akshay Singh, director Shuja Ali, presenter Vibhu Agarwal, producers Sayed Asif Jah and Megha Agarwal, a host of Bollywood celebs including actor Inder Kumar, and IMPAA President TP Agarwal thronged to be part of the festivities.
Talking about the film, Baat Bann Gayi is a romantic comedy enriched with the classical plot of 'duals', which depicts the comedy of errors when look alike of characters encounter each other. Unexpected, hilarious situations arise because of mistaken identity.
Added Gulshan Grover, "There is something beautiful about the film and the energy of director Shuja Ali is contagious." Amrita Raichand agreed that "It had caught on to all of us."
An emotional Vibhu Agarwal talked about how he started off small in Lucknow and grew to become the steel magnate he is today and that Bollywood was the next step in the right direction.
Sonu Nigam, Javed Ali and Sardar Ali's voice resonated the hall. And the sound of music was simply soul-stirring.

But the best compliment young composer Harpreet probably received was when his father, veteran composer Kuldeep Singh said honestly, "I like the song more now. It is good," as he watched the video. Harpreet, not minding the audiences, sought his father's blessings by touching his feet.
These precisely are the values that Baat Bann Gayi brings about as well.
Produced by Jaypeeco Infotainment & ASR Media, presented by Jaypeeco India Pvt Ltd, Vibhu Agarwal's Baat Bann Gayi, directed by Shuja Ali, is all set for an October 11 release.

The Go Ahead Boys And The Racing Motor-Boat
zxå
Chapter 5: T e Missing Bag
h
Early the following morning the Go Ahead boys were moving swiftly over the waters of the Erie Canal. Most of the country through which they were passing was new to them, and, rested as they were from the voyage of the preceding day, they were deeply interested in the various scenes through which they were moving.
The speedy Growler still aroused the interest of the people who saw the graceful little boat. The speed at which Fred was driving was not as great as when they had been on the Hudson. The stream was narrower and frequently there were long canal-boats to be passed.
The experiences when they arrived at the locks were alike novel and filled with interest. After they had watched the slowly rising waters and several times had been lifted to a different level the novelty, however, wore off and by the middle of the forenoon the Go Ahead boys were beginning to tease one another.
"There's one thing," said John, "that's as fixed as the sun."
Nobody made any response to his startling suggestion and after he had glanced quizzically at his companions John continued, "No crowd ever left a fellow at Poughkeepsie and went on without him without having to pay the price. I'm telling you, fellows, that just as sure as the sun shines there's something coming to every one of you, and most of all to Grant."
"Why am I selected for this special favor?" demanded Grant quickly.
"If you don't know there isn't any one who can tell you," retorted John. "All I'm saying is that action and reaction are equal, even if the Panama Canal is fifty and one-half miles long."
"Speaking of canals," said Grant. "I want to know if anybody knows how long the Suez Canal is."
"Speak up, Professor," said George dejectedly. "We have got to hear it, so we might as well have it now as any time. How long is it?"
"It's exactly one hundred miles. Now if there's any Go Ahead boy who can tell what the Suez Canal connects, it will be my turn to pay for the dinner."
There was a silence following Grant's words while the Go Ahead boys looked foolishly at one another. Not one of them was able to answer the simple question.
"The Suez Canal," began Grant, "connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea."
"How do you know?" demanded Fred. "You have never seen it."
"I don't have to see it to know. I have never seen London, but I am quite confident there is a city by that name. By the way, fellows, if you'll wait a minute I'll show you something I
put in my bag. I saved it for a day just like this."
Rising from his seat Grant hastily sought his bag and in a brief time rejoined his companions.
"What's the matter?" demanded John, as he saw an expression of consternation on the face of his friend.
"Matter!" retorted Grant. "Matter enough. Somebody brought the wrong bag."
"Let me see," said John, rising and examining the bag, which Grant had placed on the seat near him. "That's not mine."
"It surely isn't mine," said George.
"I won't claim it either," added Fred as he glanced behind him.
"Well, it isn't mine," said Grant. "Somebody made a mistake at the hotel this morning and instead of giving me what belonged to me they have sent my bag off in some other direction and given me a bag that belongs to some one else."
"Try your keys," suggested John. "Maybe it isn't as bad as you think."
"The keys don't fit," declared Grant after he had tested them all.
"Maybe there's a catch or a trick of some kind. Look again, Soc, and see if there isn't some way to find out what there is inside that bag. That's about the only way you can tell whose it is."
"I have been trying," retorted Grant sharply. "It's locked and I haven't any key that will fit it."
"It feels pretty heavy," said John as he lifted the bag in question.
"Yes, it's heavier than mine," acknowledged Grant. "I don't see how that porter could have made any such mistake."
"I don't see any way out of it, Soc, but for you to take your bag back to Albany," said Fred.
"I'm not going back," declared Grant. "I'll send the bag back by express and telegraph the hotel to send my bag in the same way to Utica. If they get busy right away it ought to be there by the time we are."
"No use, my dear friend," said John, shaking his head. "Your bag by this time is on its way to Timbuctoo or San Francisco. Some other fellow has it and if he has and isn't making remarks that sound like echoes of yours, it is only because he hasn't yet found out his mistake."
The perplexity in which Grant found himself was increasing. Many of his necessary articles and much of his clothing that he would require on the trip were contained in the missing bag. He was unable to see the sly wink which John gave Fred when the latter looked questioningly at him.
So insistent was Grant that the Black Growler was stopped at Schenectady to enable him to send a telegram to the hotel at which the Go Ahead boys had stopped the preceding night at Albany.
No one had offered to assist him in his task and the boy alone carried the bag which he believed had been given him in place of his own to the express office. There, in accordance with the word which he had already sent the hotel, he shipped the bag to Albany.
When he returned to the motor-boat so engrossed was he with his own troubles that he failed to discover the grin which appeared on the faces of two of the Go Ahead boys.
"You might have offered to go back to get my bag," suggested Grant sharply when he resumed his seat on board.
"Yes, we might," said Fred. "We might have offered to buy a new one for you and fit it out with all the things you need, but we thought we wouldn't. You need the lesson, Soc. You have been telling all the world how to do it so long that it is time for you to begin to find out some things for yourself."
Grant made no reply and indeed he had little to say until the boat stopped at an attractive village where the boys obtained their luncheon.
When the voyage was resumed, Grant's confidence that his own missing bag would be found when they arrived at Utica in a measure served to restore his good nature and throughout the afternoon he took an active part in the bantering in which the boys engaged.
Occasionally Fred relinquished his task at the wheel and permitted his friends to take turns in steering the boat. The banks of the canal were free from rocks and even if the swift little motor-boat was turned from her course no great amount of damage could follow.
There were other boats they were informed that had preceded them and among them the references to the swift Varmint II were frequent.
On such occasions Fred's passengers at once resumed their task of informing their captain how small his chances of winning the race were becoming. Apparently the Varmint had everything her own way.
Fred did his utmost to appear indifferent to the words of his companions, but in spite of it all it became plain to the other boys that he was seriously disturbed by the comments they made.
There were times when, the course being clear, the speed of the Black Growler was increased almost to her maximum. At such times the farmers in the fields stopped in their labors and stared at the motor-boat, which almost seemed to be shooting through the country.
At other times when they were passing through villages or met a heavily laden canalboat the Black Growler moved slowly and seemed to share in the need of caution.
It was late in the afternoon when at last the little party arrived at Utica.
"We'll go up to the hotel and have our dinner," said Grant. "I do not know that I owe the rest of you anything, but I'm going to take pity on you and do what I at first thought I wouldn't. I'm going to give you a dinner."
"That's very kind," said John, winking at Fred as he spoke. "Meanwhile who's going to look after our bags?"
"I'm going to find out first if mine is here to be looked after," said Grant. "Come on with me, Jack, and I'll go to the express offices and see if it is there."
John followed his friend, but their labors were not crowned with success when after an absence of an hour they returned to the place where the Black Growler was awaiting them. Not a word had been received from Albany nor had Grant succeeded in finding any trace of his missing baggage.
"Never mind," he said quickly. "I'll have to make the best of it. I'm not going to spoil all the fun of the trip crying over spilled milk."
Again John winked at Fred, but no words were spoken after the

Round Table Discussion : India-Iran Relations
September, 2016
)
Welcome
I'd like to personally welcome all Delegates. It's an exciting time for all of us as we continue to grow and adapt, remaining always adaptable, motivated and responsive to new ideas. We're meeting during a time of large nation-wide and global change. The field of law, policy and strategy research is an exciting area in which we work. We will continue to meet and bring intellectual people to come together in forums like this, to ensure IIFH remains at the top to strengthen the humanity.
Amb Dinkar Srivastava, India's former Ambassador to Iran, chaired a round table discussion on 'IndiaIran relations and the way forward'. The interaction among experts focused on three key issues: terrorism, regional connectivity and India's oil and gas imports from Iran.
Initiating the discussion, Amb Srivastava pointed out that Iran held great strategic significance for India, both in terms of energy security as also in getting access to Afghanistan and beyond. He stressed that while India's relations with Iran remained tardy for much of the Cold War period, the bilateral relationship has been progressing steadily since the withdrawal of the erstwhile Soviet Union from Afghanistan. It may be recalled that both Iran and India collaborated with the Northern Alliance against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and even while Iran reeled under crippling sanctions, India continued to import crude oil from Iran.
Post–sanction, while Iran seeks to emerge as a regional power and mainstream itself into the international order, India finds in Iran a potential stabilizer in Afghanistan. Besides, Iran is increasingly important for India, insofar as keeping an eye on China's growing activities in the Indian Ocean is concerned. India's assistance to develop Iran's Chabahar port, barely 72 nautical miles from Pakistan's Gawadar port, is largely perceived as India's answer to Pakistan's habitual intransigence, provided India walks the extra mile and helps Iran connect the Chabahar port with the hinterland and beyond. The discussion also centered around whether India should limit herself to developing only two berths or take up the development of the entire port.
)
Among other important takeaways from the interaction, there was the broader consensus among the experts for increasing India's investments in Iran, especially in the hydro-carbon sector. It was also broadly agreed that India should not view its relations with Iran as a subset of her relations with other countries. With India putting the spotlight on Pakistan's gross violations of human rights in Balochistan, its cascading effect on Iran was also discussed. Experts were largely of the view that the Balochistan crisis is likely to remain confined to areas within Pakistan's territories.
Significantly, the interaction on Iran was preceded by a quick round-up on the evolving dynamics in the relations between India and Pakistan following the terrorist attack in Uri. Experts largely converged on giving a befitting diplomatic-military response to Pakistan in the wake of Uri attack in which eighteen Indian army personnel were killed and over two dozens injured. The general mood among those present was that 'enough is enough'.

Congressional bill could tab Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as National Heritage Area
ContraCostaTimes.com
By Paul Burgarino Contra Costa Times Contra Costa Times Posted:
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta's rich history could soon make it a National Heritage Area.
Five local U.S. congressional representatives, along with county supervisors in the Delta region, introduced a bill last week that would establish it as a heritage area. Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced a similar bill in the U.S. Senate recently.
The legislation would establish the estuary as a National Heritage Area, which would be managed by the Delta Protection Commission. The distinction aims at protecting and promoting the history, resources, and economy of the Delta community. It would not effect water rights or water contracts, nor would it create new regulatory authorities.
There are 49 heritage areas recognized in the country.
"The Delta is the heart of the California water system. The Delta Heritage Act helps local communities sustain and enhance the vitality of this national treasure," Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, said in a news release.
Feinstein adds in the same release: "The Delta is an important resource for California and the largest inland delta in the world -- and we must treat it with the respect it deserves."
The Delta includes about 60 islands protected by 1,100 miles of levees and is home to about 3.5 million residents, including 2,500 family farmers.
The Delta is also known as a recreational haven for boating, fishing, hunting, and viewing wildlife.
By 1492, the area supported North America's largest settlement of Native Americans. Centuries later it was the gateway to the gold fields, and after that became home to Chinese workers that built hundreds of miles of levees that allowed for farming.
Sizable groups of Japanese, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Greek, South Asian, and other immigrants called the Delta home over the years.

Page 1 of 3
Board no longer has to approve the tax. Fifty-seven counties in Illinois have approved the School Illinois County School Facilities Tax (CSFT). Highlights included the revenue uses of the tax, and those that are ineligible, the benefit to property tax, as a district can abate or decrease current property taxes by using sales tax fund to pay off outstanding building bonds. A district can avoid levying property taxes by using sales tax fund to pay for facility projects that would have been paid with property taxes. Revenue is distributed equally for every pupil who lives in the county and attends public school, regardless of the location of the that school. Real revenue distribution is based on actual enrollment in county as certified by the Regional Office of Education each fall. Placing the item on a ballot was discussed. To begin, a school board has to pass a resolution. Only school boards representing more than fifty percent of the resident student enrollment in the county adopt the resolution, and Regional Superintendent must certify the question to the County Clerk. Districts representing more than fifty percent of enrollment must approve consistent ballot language. The County Clerk will place it on the ballot at the next regularly scheduled election. The ballot language must read: "Shall a retailer's occupation tax and a service occupation tax (commonly referred to as a "Sales Tax") be imposed in (name of county) at a rate of ___% to be used exclusively for school facility purposes?" A simple majority of votes cast county-wide are needed to pass. After approval, the tax will be imposed. Election timelines were reviewed with members. As a follow-up, Dr. Jarrett, will canvass the regional superintendents regarding interest their interest. To view the presentation, please click on this link: County Schools Facility Tax.

Mr. Mynarski and Ms. Mahoney will interview 3-4 applicants this week, and a second round of interviews will be scheduled to which Audit Committee members will be invited to attend.
3. Risk Management Overview
- Insurance Renewal Presentation by Ronni Rausch, Gallagher & Company
Ms. Rausch distributed materials related to the Town annual insurance policies to be renewed for July 1, 2020. She cautioned that prior to marketing Greenwich's portfolio, carriers were indicating that premiums would be increasing, and in the case of Greenwich property coverage, it could be as much as 20% over the previous year. In the discussion that followed, the Committee and other BET Members inquired about looking into various options with respect to the Public Entity Casualty and General Liability lines.
Andy Duus asked if the Town's 10-year claims history would be a negotiating advantage, and Chairman Drake was pleased to hear that Gallagher communicates frequently with the Risk Manager during the marketing process.
1
- Update on CHUBB Property Safety Inspection
The Risk Manager, Ms. Zanesky, reported that CHUBB inspectors had toured Greenwich High School and Grass Island on February 14, 2020 and that she and a CHUBB inspector, along with property specialists from Gallagher & Co toured The Nathaniel Witherell on February 27, 2020. No immediate issues or concerns were identified. CHUBB mentioned the possibility of installation of water sensors at the high school through a vendor they contract with and indicated it could result in a possible property insurance premium reduction.
- Update on GHS PAC water damage claims subrogation
Ms. Zanesky advised the Committee of CHUBB's decision not to pursue a subrogation action to recover damages from contractors and manufacturers involved with the GHS/MISA water damage claims. The Committee discussed whether to pursue recovery of the cost of coupling-part replacement throughout GHS and insurance deductibles.
4. Old Business
- Contract with Blum Shapiro for Internal Audit Services
Ms. Zanesky commented that a meeting would take place with Mr. O'Keefe, GPS CFO, next week to begin the School Lunch Program internal audit. The School Activity Fund is scheduled for the second internal audit, followed by the Holly Hill Transfer Station.
Mr. Weisbrod suggested that the scope of the Transfer Station audit be reviewed.
Upon a motion by Mr. Weisbrod, seconded by Mr. Duus, the Committee voted 3-0-1 (Abstain: Erickson) that before the Transfer Station audit, the Audit Committee should review the scope of work. Motion carried.
Mr. Mynarski will circulate the previous December 2008 Holly Hill Transfer Station Audit to the Committee prior to the next full BET meeting.
- Cyber Security Discussion
Ms. Zanesky reported on the recent CT Army National Guard sponsored Cyber Nutmeg Cyber Security training event and shared the range of attendee professions and a summary of suggested practices being implemented that are very similar to what TOG has already or is working to put into place. The five major cyber initiatives each municipality should be implementing are: 1) Risk Assessments; 2) Education & Training of Users; 3) Incident Response Plans; 4) Business Continuity Plans and 5) Multi Factor Authentication/Complex Password implementation. The amount of the Town's FY21 Budget to be invested in Cyber Security and the governance (reporting structure) were discussed.

Guggenheim Investments' Macro Opportunities Fund Earns Fourth Consecutive U.S. Lipper Fund Award for Consistent Risk-Adjusted Performance
Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund (GIOIX) receives award for trailing 5-year period for second time in its only two years of eligibility
NEW YORK, NY – February 27, 2018 – Guggenheim Investments, the global asset management and investment advisory business of Guggenheim Partners, tonight announced that Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund (GIOIX) has received a prestigious U.S. Lipper Fund Award.
The Fund received a 5-year award in the Alternative Credit Focus classification. The Fund, launched on November 30, 2011, has received three 3-year Lipper Awards and now two 5-year Lipper Awards.
Lipper Awards recognize individual mutual funds that have outperformed peers in terms of risk-adjusted, consistent return based on investment results as of November 30, 2017.
"Receiving a Lipper Award for the fourth year in a row acknowledges the ongoing hard work of our investment and research teams and underscores our commitment to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns for fund shareholders," said Scott Minerd, Chairman of Investments and Global CIO.
Minerd leads more than 175 fixed-income investment professionals whose responsibilities are segregated into specialized teams based on expertise. Sector Teams across the U.S. fixed-income universe, including sectors not included in benchmark bond indices, make specific security selections based on robust, bottom-up, fundamental analysis; Macroeconomic Research and Portfolio Construction Groups set house views and independently opine on which sectors have the best relative value; and Portfolio Managers decide which securities best fit a given portfolio in light of its mandate and the top-down sector allocations determined by Portfolio Construction.
"Our fixed-income portfolios are managed by a systematic, disciplined investment process designed to mitigate behavioral bias and lead to better decision-making," Minerd said. "Our investment process is structured to allow the best research and ideas across specialized teams to be brought together and expressed in actively managed portfolios."
"This award reflects both the significance of our unique investment process, as well as Guggenheim Investments unwavering dedication to driving value for clients," said Jerry Miller, President of Guggenheim Investments. Congratulations to Scott Minerd, and his Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund team, Anne Walsh, Steve Brown, Adam Bloch and Kevin Gundersen."
The Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund ranked as the third-largest fund in Morningstar's nontraditional bond category with $6.6 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2017.
Overall, Guggenheim manages more than $189 billion in fixed-income assets.

About the Lipper Fund Awards
Every year, the U.S. Lipper Fund Awards program honors funds and fund management firms that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance, relative to peers, based on Lipper's proprietary Consistent Return methodology. Lipper scores for Consistent Return reflect funds' historical risk-adjusted returns relative to funds in the same Lipper classification and include each fund's expenses and reinvested distributions, and exclude sales charges Consistent Return values are calculated with all eligible share classes for each eligible classification. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return value within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over 3, 5, or 10 years.
The Best Alternative Credit Focus Fund 3 and 5 year awards are granted to the fund in the Alternative Credit Focus category with the highest Lipper Leader score for Consistent Return as of 11.30 of the prior year, among 111 funds for the 5-year period in 2018, among 155 funds for the 3-year period and 114 funds for the 5-year period in 2017, among 129 funds for the 3-year period in 2016, and among 114 funds for the 3-year period in 2015.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
RISK CONSIDERATIONS
This Fund may not be suitable for all investors. ● The Fund's market value will change in response to interest rate changes and market conditions among other factors. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. ● The Fund's exposure to high yield securities may subject the Fund to greater volatility. ● The intrinsic value of the underlying stocks in which the Fund invests may never be realized or the stock may decline in value. ● When market conditions are deemed appropriate, the Fund may use leverage to the full extent permitted by its investment policies and restrictions and applicable law. Leveraging will exaggerate the effect on net asset value of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund's portfolio. • The use of short selling involves increased risks and costs. You risk paying more for a security than you received from its sale. Theoretically, stocks sold short have the risk of unlimited losses. ● The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, which may be more volatile and less liquid, increasing the risk of loss when compared to traditional securities. Certain of the derivative instruments are also subject to the risks of counterparty default and adverse tax treatment. ● Instruments and strategies (such as borrowing transactions and reverse repurchase agreements) may provide leveraged exposure to a particular investment, which will magnify any gains or losses on those investments. ● Investments in reverse repurchase agreements expose the Fund to the many of the same risks as investments in derivatives. ● The Fund's investments in other investment vehicles subject the Fund to those risks and expenses affecting the investment vehicle. ● The Fund's investments in foreign securities carry additional risks when compared to U.S. securities, due to the impact of diplomatic,
political or economic developments in the country in question (investments in emerging markets securities are generally subject to an even greater level of risks). ● Investments in syndicated bank loans generally offer a floating interest rate and involve special types of risks. ● A highly liquid secondary market may not exist for the commodity-linked structured notes the Fund invests in, and there can be no assurance that a highly liquid secondary market will develop. ● The Fund's exposure to the commodity markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility as commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity such as droughts, floods, weather, embargos, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. ● The Fund's investments in municipal securities can be affected by events that affect the municipal bond market. ● The Fund's investments in real estate securities subject the Fund to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, which is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. ● The Fund's investments in restricted securities may involve financial and liquidity risk. ● You may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. ● It is important to note that the Fund is not guaranteed by the U.S. government. •This Fund is considered nondiversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of fund shares than would occur in a more diversified fund. ● Please read the prospectus for more detailed information regarding these and other risks.

Allocation-Based Water Pricing Promotes Conservation While Keeping User Costs Low
Ken Baerenklau, Kurt Schwabe, and Ariel Dinar
A Southern California water district reduced household water demand by 10–15% by implementing an allocation-based price structure that did not significantly increase the average price paid for water.
Also in this issue
Olive Fruit Fly: Timing the Harvest to Manage the Pest
The common approach for pric ing water and other goods and services in a market economy is uniform pricing: each unit is priced the same regardless of the amount con sumed and the characteristics of the consumer. Block (or tiered) rate pric ing is where the cost per unit varies with the amount consumed. Increas ing (decreasing) block rates refer to the case when the first units are priced relatively low (high) and subsequent units are priced higher (lower), so that the price per unit rises (falls) with consumption in a stepwise manner. A "volume discount" is an example of decreasing block rate pricing.

Special Issue
Climate Change: Challenges to California's Agricultural and Natural Resources
Allocation-based water pricing is an innovative type of increasing block rate price structure in which the block sizes vary according to the characteristics of the consumer. Under an allocation-based rate structure, the block sizes are based on household-specific characteristics (e.g., number of residents, irrigated area, unusual circumstances such as medical need), environmental conditions (e.g., evapotranspiration), and a judgment by the water utility regarding what consti tutes "efficient" use given those charac teristics and conditions. This means that price structures can differ across house holds at any point in time, and through time for any household. A household's efficient level of use is called its "water budget," and thus, a household that consumes beyond its budget is deemed to be using water inefficiently.
Adoption of Allocation-Based Rates
Allocation-based rates are thought to have significant advantages over uni form and fixed block rate structures. Foremost, allocation-based rates are thought to provide a strong conserva tion incentive because the block sizes depend on household characteristics. Therefore, all households face higher prices as consumption increases, whereas smaller households rarely enter the upper blocks under fixed block rate pricing. The Irvine Ranch Water District reports that in the 13 years following the introduction of allocation-based rates in the early 1990s, average per-acre outdoor water use declined by 61%.
Allocation-based rates also address equity concerns by providing each household—regardless of size—with a block of low-priced water that should satisfy the most essential uses, such as drinking, cooking and cleaning, while charging higher prices for presumably less essential uses such as landscap ing. The highest prices are paid only by those households that exceed their designated water budgets, with already efficient households remaining largely unaffected by the higher rates. Alloca tion-based rates thus should be more politically acceptable than fixed block rates due to their perceived fairness.
V. 17 no. 6 • Jul/Aug 2014
Despite these advantages, adop tion of allocation-based rates has been relatively slow in California. As of 2011, whereas about half of all utili ties had implemented block rate water pricing, only around 25 had adopted allocation-based rate structures. The main concerns appear to be the cost of developing such a rate structure, whether the rate structure will help or hinder efforts to balance revenues with costs, the extent to which the rate structure reduces demand for water, and the differential effects of the rate structure across households.
of a rate structure change cannot be determined simply by observing the effects of introducing a rate structure on demand changes. For example, changes in the broader economy can drive per-capita water demand up or down as prices and incomes fluctu ate. Changes in weather and climate, such as cyclical precipitation patterns or regional temperature trends, are important drivers of outdoor water use.
Demand Reduction Effect
Because multiple competing factors that fluctuate through time influ ence water demand, the demand effect
Changes in the availability of, and preferences for, water conserving tech nologies (such as climate-controlled irrigation systems and low-flow toilets and shower heads) can reduce demand. And even population growth can reduce per-capita demand if new homes must be built with such water-efficient tech nologies. But, of course, none of these

Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics
University of California demand effects should be attributed to the chosen rate structure.
To properly identify the effect of allocation-based rates on demand, as well as the differential effects across households, we must account for these competing factors. We accomplished this by utilizing household consump tion data from the Eastern Municipal Water District of Southern California (EMWD). EMWD is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and serves a diverse region of western Riverside County that includes the cities of Moreno Valley, Perris, Hemet, Murrieta, and Tem ecula. This region covers 542 square miles and has a population of more than 768,000. EMWD provides around 90,000 acre-feet of water to approxi mately 137,000 domestic water service accounts and a much smaller number of agricultural and irrigation users.
EMWD switched from uniform to allocation-based rates in April 2009. The allocation-based rate structure includes four blocks: (1) efficient indoor use, which is primarily a func tion of household size; (2) efficient outdoor use, which is primarily a func tion of irrigated area and evapotrans piration requirements; (3) excessive use, which is 50% of the combined indoor and outdoor block sizes; and (4) wasteful use, which accounts for consumption in excess of block 3. The sum of blocks 1 and 2 deter mine a household's water budget.
In 2008, under uniform rates, the nominal price was $1.85 per 100 cubic feet of water. In 2014, under allocation-based rates, nominal prices ranged from $1.73 for block 1, up to $10.36 for block 4. Both rate struc tures were designed to balance rev enues with costs over the long run.
To estimate the effect of the rate change on household demand, we identified 12,000 single-family households in EMWD's service area with continuous monthly water use records from January 2003 through April 2014 and no tenancy changes. We used the uniform pricing data from 2003–2008 to estimate a sta tistical model of household demand that accounts for household size, irrigated area, evapotranspiration requirements, water price, household income, and other relevant factors.
Next we used this model to predict what household demand would have been if EMWD had not switched to allocation-based rates, but had instead maintained uniform rates and set them equal to the average prices paid under allocation-based rates from 2009–2014. We then compared these predictions against observed household demand under allocation-based rates and used the difference between them as an estimate of the demand reduction effect of the allocation-based rates.
Figure 1 shows the results of this comparison for the entire observa tion period from 2003–2014, using 12-month moving averages to smooth out the seasonal fluctuations in demand. The vertical dashed line cor responds to the change in rate structure in April 2009. To the left of the dashed line, the model performs reasonably well in predicting demand when uni form rates were in effect. But there is a significant divergence between observed and predicted demand to the right of the dashed line, which indicates the introduction of allocation-based rates. Observed demand fell and remained low, while our model predicts that under equivalent uniform rates, demand would have fallen less, levelled off sooner, and climbed back up to about where it was just before the rate change.
The gap that emerges between observed and predicted demand after April 2009 in figure 1 is our estimate of the demand reduction effect of the allocation-based rates. Figure 2 shows this effect in relative terms, again using 12-month moving averages to smooth out the seasonal fluctuations
in demand. As the figure shows, one year after the rate change (as of April 2010) there was very little observ able effect. But two and a half years after the change, around September 2011, average household water use was about 10% below where it would have been under equivalent uniform rates. Since then, the demand effect has fluctuated but has remained in the 10-15% range for nearly three years.
Moreover, the average price paid for water under allocation-based rates rose less than 4% in real terms since April 2009, but our model predicts that a uniform price would have had to rise around 30% to achieve the same observed reduction in demand. This again speaks to the strong con servation incentive provided by this allocation-based rate structure, as well as its cost-effectiveness for households.
how such a change may impact lower income households. If such house holds end up facing significantly higher prices than they did under uniform pricing, concerns about equity and fairness may hinder adop tion of allocation-based rates despite their apparent conservation potential. For our sample, this does not appear to be a concern. The average prices paid by households with incomes in the lower third of our sample actu ally declined

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION
PROPOSED / PENDING COURT APPROVAL DISTRIBUTION/ALLOCATION PLAN BODY SEALING PRODUCTS SETTLEMENTS
This distribution/allocation plan ("Allocation Plan") will be applied to the automobile dealership settlements in the Body Sealing Products case. The Allocation Plan includes, to the extent practicable, allowances based on pro rata distributions and utilizes a "weighted" point system that recognizes instances of alleged coordinated activity. The principles applied here will be applied to settlements benefitting automobile dealerships for other automobile parts cases in this litigation. Each parts case will have its own plan of distribution / allocation.
Settlement Coverage:
The Allocation Plan will allocate the net proceeds of each of the approved Body Sealing Products Settlements to:
(1) Dealers who purchased vehicle models that were subject to alleged coordinated activity on bids for component parts;
(2) Dealers who purchased subsequent vehicle models that were subject to alleged coordinated activity on bids for component parts;
(3) Dealers who purchased vehicles whose manufacturers experienced multiple instances of alleged coordinated activity on bids for component parts;
(4) Dealers who purchased other vehicles;
(5) Dealers who purchased component parts subject to allegedly coordinated activity; and
(6) A reserve fund for future allocations and distributions to eligible Settlement Class members.
This Allocation Plan is subject to court approval and may be revised or modified with Court approval if new relevant information becomes available. In addition, there may be supplements and additions to the list of vehicles appended hereto, without Court approval.
Payments will take into account, to the extent practicable, the number and type of new vehicles and covered component parts that a dealership purchased during the periods set forth in the Settlement Class definitions. While the make and model of some vehicles subject to the allegedly coordinated activity has been determined by Settlement Class Counsel, all of the data and information regarding affected models and years has not yet been made available to Settlement Class Counsel. As additional model or make information becomes available, the specific vehicles subject to allegedly coordinated activity and their model years will be assigned to a point class. As such, the initial reserve fund in the Body Sealing Products settlements will be 40% of the total funds to be distributed. The percentage of reserve funds in each of the future settlements may vary. In the event and to the extent that the reserve fund is not needed to cover payments described above, any funds remaining in the reserve fund after future allocations will be paid to eligible dealerships based on their pro rata share of the settlement funds and the eligible claims filed.
Only new vehicles purchased are eligible for inclusion. Used and pre-owned vehicles that a dealer has purchased at any time will not be included in the allocation.
Weighted Point Allocations:
Allocations will be determined on a pro rata basis using a "weighted" value for each new covered vehicle that dealers purchased during the relevant time periods:
* Each vehicle in a model year as to which there was alleged coordinated activity for a part used in that model will be assigned 100 points;
* Each vehicle in the subsequent three model years of a vehicle as to which there was alleged coordinated activity for a part used in that model will be assigned 75 points;
* Each vehicle whose OEM and model was subject to instances of alleged coordinated activity on bids for parts will be assigned 50 points;
* Each vehicle whose OEM was subject to instances of alleged coordinated activity on bids for parts will be assigned 35 points;
* Other vehicles not covered by the preceding paragraphs will be assigned 20 points;
* Body Sealing Products (parts only) purchased will be assigned 10 points;
* Alternatively, class members may choose to have the Settlement Administrator apply a formula through which the number of replacement Body Sealing Products (parts only) will be equal to 10% of the total number of covered vehicles that the dealer purchased, and each of those will be allocated 7 points, in lieu of determining and proving the actual number of Body Sealing Products purchased. (This percentage will be adjusted and disclosed with each proposed settlement.)
Important Note: Each claimant that submits a valid claim and purchased the vehicles in the states listed in the settlement documents will receive a minimum payment of $350, which will be drawn from the various settlement funds. The maximum payment will depend on the application of the principles of allocation and the total amount of each settlement fund, after expenses.
More details about the anticipated distribution of the settlement funds are available in the papers filed with the Court in support of settlement approval, which are available on the settlement website, www.AutoDealerSettlement.com. In order to receive a payment, you need to file a valid claim. The settlement web site and claim form provide additional details about how to submit your claim. Further information is available at www.AutoDealerSettlement.com or by calling the Settlement Administrator at 1-888-565-3171.
Vehicle Allocation charts follow on the next several pages. The allocation information provided was not compiled or approved by Settling Defendants and is not to be construed as evidence or an admission against any Settling Defendants that they participated in coordinated activities with respect to the listed vehicles and manufacturers.
The models listed in Table 1 will be assigned 100 points for each vehicle purchased from the model year listed:

Abstract: Previous researchers have extensively studied the application of customer satisfaction index (CSI) models. The American customer satisfaction index (ACSI) was one of early customer satisfaction scale launched in the early 1990s. After the success of ACSI, various researchers came up with country-specific CSI. However, there are hardly any industry-specific CSI. This paper attempts to review the various CSI models and build a conceptual framework for internet banking customer satisfaction index (IBCSI). The IBCSI, a new index proposed for the banking industry, would measure CSI for internet banking customers. This study is pertinent due to the exponential growth in e-banking. The study also highlights the emerging areas of research in internet banking domain.
Keywords: customer satisfaction index; CSI; internet banking; conceptual model; customer satisfaction.

1 Introduction
Customer satisfaction has been a key research area for the marketing researchers. Fornell (1992) in his seminal paper reported that productivity and customer satisfaction were key strategic parameters – both for industries and organisations. These parameters included the quantitative and qualitative aspects of business performance. This study also emphasised that customer satisfaction was one of the important components for both pre-consumption and post-consumption scenarios. Various scholars (Sikdar et al., 2015; Srivastava et al., 2009; Fornell et al., 1996) mentioned that needs of modern consumers were heterogeneous and hence these consumers preferred augmentation in case of both products and services. Fornell et al. (1996) also highlighted that to address this heterogeneity; the organisations had introduced customisations and augmentations in their offerings. The service sectors like banking were no exception to these changes and hence understanding, modelling and measuring customer satisfaction had become essential in this context. For fulfilling this research purpose, this study has formulated following research questions (RQ) that will help in understanding the evolution of customer satisfaction index (CSI).
RQ1 How the customer satisfaction was defined and measured by the past researchers?
RQ2 Which were the prominent causal relationships considered by the past researcher?
RQ3 Which could be the appropriate and relevant components for proposing a causal model that would estimate CSI in the internet banking sector?
A set of research objectives was also formulated for addressing aforementioned RQs. These objectives were:
1 to conduct a detailed literature review of existing national CSI models
2 to identify the antecedents and consequents of customer satisfaction in the banking industry from the research conducted in internet banking
3 to propose a CSI in internet banking and formulate hypotheses for testing it in future.
After formulating the RQ and objectives, the structure for the study was prepared. The first part of the study covered extensive literature review on the evolution and development of various CSIs. The second part focused on developing the conceptual framework and justification for the incorporation of the specific factors considered in the CSI model proposed for internet banking industry. The third part covered the conclusions and further implications of the study.
2 Literature review
Johnson et al. (2001) reported about the evolution and limitation of CSI models used by past researchers. This study mentioned about the evolution of customer satisfaction models starting from Swedish customer satisfaction barometer (SCSB) in 1991 to European customer satisfaction index (ECSI) in 2000. Johnson et al. (2001) mentioned that the SCSB provided a theoretical basis for developing American customer satisfaction index (ACSI). The ACSI was used as a basis for the models proposed for measuring satisfaction from Norway and countries belong to EU. Various researchers (Keskar and Pandey 2018a; Johnson et al., 2001; Fornell et al., 1996) suggested to evaluate the previously established customer satisfaction models for their further development. Therefore a systematic review of the past literature was conducted. On basis of the theoretical justifications, analysis and the outcomes of literature review an appropriate model that considered online banking customer satisfaction context was proposed.
2.1 Evolution of CSI
The relationship between antecedents of customer satisfaction and consequences of customer satisfaction are predominantly examined and tested in the developed countries like Sweden, the USA, Norway, New Zealand, Austria, Korea and European Union. These indices were never proposed or tested at the global level or for industry or sector (Johnson et al., 2001). The seminal study by Johnson et al. (2001) highlighted that even though the cause-effect system was an appropriate system used for CSI, there were still certain limitations which need to be addressed. This study confirmed customer loyalty as a key dependent variable of the CSI models. The measurement of the customer satisfaction considers two measures namely transaction-specific satisfaction and cumulative satisfaction (Johnson et al., 1995). Out of these measures, the marketing researchers have emphasised more on transaction-specific measures and the relationship between perceived quality and satisfaction. According to Johnson et al. (2001), the cumulative satisfaction construct measures predicted the repurchase behaviour and economic performance in a better way than transaction specific measures of satisfaction. Further, Johnson et al. (2001) reported that the prominent models of customer satisfaction had considered overall satisfaction as an outcome of quality.
The past researchers had developed national CSI models considering the relevance of various product and services, but the development of industry-specific CSI models like for banking sector was never taken into consideration. Therefore, it is important to understand how customer satisfaction was being examined by the past researchers in order to propose a framework for the banking sector in general and for the internet banking context in specific. In order to understand the research context in a better way this study analysed the prominent CSI models like SCSB, ACSI, Switzerland customer satisfaction index (SWICS), Norwegian customer satisfaction index (NCSI), ECSI, Russian CSI, Hong Kong customer satisfaction index (HKCSI), Kanji CSI, electronic commerce customer satisfaction index (ECCSI) and electronic customer satisfaction index (e-CSI). This section explores the evolution of customer satisfaction indices and evaluates their development parameters.
2.1.1 Swedish customer satisfaction barometer
The SCSB was the first model proposed by Fornell (1992). It built upon the theoretical contributions by Hirschman (1970) and Oliver (1980). This index proposed the perceived performance (value) and customer expectations as antecedents of the customer satisfaction. This study assumes direct relationship between perceived value, customer expectations and customer satisfaction. Hirschman (1970) mentioned that the dissatisfied customers respond in two ways. The customer may exist or voice their complaints. The final outcome was taken as customer loyalty. According to Hirschman (1970), customer loyalty was an intention of consumption or actual repurchase of product or services. Fornell (1992) mentioned that this study is a pioneering study that explored the relationship between customer complaint and customer loyalty (Figure 1).

2.1.2 American customer satisfaction index
The ACSI, one of the popular national indicators, was developed by Fornell et al. (1996). This study was a pioneering study conducted for measuring customer satisfaction as the changes in the economy had reduced the satisfaction among US consumers. This index measured customer satisfaction regarding the quality of various products and services consumed by US consumers. This model considered perceived

ANALYSIS OF FISH PROCESSING AMONG WOMEN IN ONDO STATE, NIGERIA
1 S.D. YOMI ALFRED AND 2 E.O. ADEPARUSI
1 Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, 2 Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria.
ABSTRACT
Inadequacy of animal protein in the Nigerian diet is a common phenomenon. Average protein intake in the country is at present less than half of the recommended (6575 g/day) intake. Processed fish is a good source of protein. However, fish processing, which is regarded as an activity of the women folk, requires more attention so as to make fish more available in good condition to the consumers. This study was carried out in Ilaje and Ese-Odo Local Government Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria. The study area was divided into three sections for effective sampling coverage. A multistage sampling technique was used to select nine communities (3 from each section), four wards from each community and four women fish processors from each ward giving a total of 144 out of which 120 was finally used for the study. The data collected were analysed using frequencies, percentages, multiple linear regression analysis and chi-squared analysis. The findings showed that about 80% of the respondents were below 45 years of age. The numbers of children per respondent were between 5 and 8. Respondents processed fish by smoking, salting, sun-drying, frying and freezing. Distribution of products was done through retailers, wholesalers, co-operatives, and self. The major contributing factor to fish spoilage was long distance from the markets. Regression analysis showed that age, experience, cost of fish, labour and transport had positive influence on quantity of fish processed while experience, and cost of transport were significant at 1% and 5% respectively. Chisquared calculated showed that there was a significant relationship at 1% and 5% respectively. Chi-squared calculated showed that there was a significant relationship between the marketing channels used by the fish processors and the quantity of fish processed.

Complaints Procedure
Version 2.2
Contents
Policy Statement
The Education Alliance (the Trust) has a vision based on seeking excellence through inspirational leadership, teamwork, innovation and challenge we work to ensure that all of us achieve our best. Our values are:
* Working together for students
* Generating ideas and sharing outstanding practice
* Promoting independence and interdependence
* Encouraging questioning, feedback and challenge
The Trust has four guiding principles:
* Believe in the team
* Focus on learners to drive decisions
* Keep it simple, do it right
* See it, own it, make it happen
This procedure outlines the principles and processes The Education Alliance (the Trust) adheres to when a concern or complaint is received. The Education Alliance is concerned with meeting the needs of students, parents and other stakeholders. We believe that constant feedback is an important ingredient in self-improvement and raising standards.
1. Purpose and Scope
The Trust welcomes stakeholder comments, compliments, concerns and complaints as they help us to improve and ensure we best serve others' needs. Receiving feedback when people feel we have performed well (compliments), when people feel we can improve (comments) and when people feel we haven't done something well (concerns and complaints) will help us to continue to learn, develop and improve the services we deliver.
A concern can be viewed as 'an expression of worry or doubt over an issue considered to be important for which reassurances are sought'. A complaint can be defined as 'an expression of dissatisfaction however made, about actions taken or a lack of action'. [Best Practice Advice for School Complaints Procedures 2016, Department for Education]. Certain complaints fall outside the remit of this policy (e.g. staff grievances) and there are other policies and procedures that may be accessed in such circumstances (e.g. the Grievance Procedure). Any person, including members of the general public, may make a complaint about any provision of facilities or services that the Trust provides, unless separate statutory procedures apply (such as exclusions or admissions). This procedure is not limited to parents or carers of children that are registered at the school, however, third party providers must have their own complaints procedures in place.
The Trust takes any form of concern or complaint very seriously and endeavours to resolve concerns and complaints informally, swiftly and discreetly wherever possible. However, formal complaints are managed via the formal complaints processes detailed within this procedure. Formal procedures will be followed when initial attempts to resolve an issue are unsuccessful and the complainant remains dissatisfied and wishes to take the matter further.
The aim of this policy and procedure is to:
- Encourage resolution of concerns/complaints informally wherever possible
- Be simple to understand and use
- Be easily accessible and publicised via the Trust website
- Be impartial and non-adversarial
- Allow swift handling with established time frames for action, ensuring complainants are informed of progress
- Respect people's desire for confidentiality, sharing information on a need to know basis discreetly, respectfully and professionally
- Ensure a full and fair investigation is undertaken by an independent person where necessary
- Address all points raised and provide an effective response and appropriate redress where necessary
- Provide information to the Trust and school's senior leadership teams, the Trust Board and Local Governing Bodies (LGB) to enable the Trust and each of its schools to continually learn, develop and improve
2. Roles and Responsibilities
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is responsible for ensuring there is a consistent approach to managing and resolving concerns and complaints across the Trust that adheres to legal and statutory requirements.
The Education Alliance's Trust Board is responsible for the approval of this procedure and Local Governing Bodies must ensure that all concerns and complaints are logged, managed and resolved quickly and effectively and that learning points are captured and appropriate actions taken to ensure such issues do not occur again in the future.
The Trust's Senior Leadership Team is responsible for overseeing the development, review, implementation, communication, monitoring and evaluation of this procedure and will report to the CEO, Executive Principal, the Trust Board and Governors as required. Heads of School must ensure that stakeholders are aware of this procedure; that the procedure is easily accessible and; that it is implemented fairly and consistently.
Leaders and Managers must ensure they respond to concerns and complaints swiftly, fairly and consistently in line with this procedure. They must ensure that all concerns and complaints are logged and acknowledged and they must investigate issues discreetly, thoroughly and quickly, accessing support, guidance and training as and when required.
Employees in receipt of concerns or complaints must respond professionally, objectively, swiftly and effectively. They should try to resolve matters informally wherever possible, seeking further advice and support where required, escalating issues as appropriate and as detailed within this policy and procedure.
Trustees and Governors will monitor and review complaints on a regular basis and ensure that appropriate actions have been taken to resolve any issues raised, whilst also monitoring the actions the school and Trust take to improve services.
3. Equality and Diversity
The Education Alliance is committed to:
* Promoting equality and diversity in its policies, procedures and guidelines. The Trust is aware of its obligations under the Equality Act 2010, therefore while complaints are usually made in writing, the Trust acknowledges that the complainant may have communication preferences due to disability or learning difficulties and Trust will accept complaints submitted by alternative methods of contact, including a complaint made in person, by telephone or in writing. The Trust can also arrange for a translator to be
accessed where language is a barrier (e.g. where English is not the complainant's first language and their understanding of the English language is limited).
* Delivering high quality teaching and services that meet the diverse needs of its student's population and its workforce, ensuring that no individual or group is disadvantaged.
4. Complaints Procedure
Where an individual has raised a concern with a member of staff and that person then would like to make a complaint, they will be asked to submit their complaint in writing to the school's PA, or where it is a Trust issue, to the Executive Assistant. There are four stages to The Education Alliance's Complaints Procedure:
- Stage 1: complaint submitted to the PA of the Head of School who will assign an investigating staff member (not the subject of the complaint), this will normally be a member of the leadership team, and they will attempt to resolve the complaint.
- Stage 2: Complainant asks Head of School to review evidence and original decision
- Stage 3: Complainant writes to the Chair of the LGB and asks them to review all correspondence
- Stage 4: Complainant makes an appeal to the Chair of the Trust Board
Complaints against the Head of School will normally be dealt with by the EP or CEO and the Chair of the LGB. Complaints against the CEO will normally be dealt with by the Chair of the Trust Board. Complaints against a member of the LGB will normally be dealt with by the Chair of the Trust Board and complaints against a Trustee will normally be dealt with by Members of the Trust. Complainants have the right to request an independent panel, if they believe there is likely to be bias in the proceedings and the decision to comply with such a request sits with the LGB (or the Trust Board where the matter is a Trust issue).
In order to prevent any later challenge or disagreement over what was said, brief notes of meetings and telephone calls will be kept and a copy of any written response added to the record. Where there are communication difficulties, the Trust may use recording devices to ensure the complainant is able to access and review the discussions at a later point. The Trust will record the progress of the complaint and the final outcome and the Executive Assistant will hold records of complaints centrally. The Trust recognises that complainants have a right to copies of these records and may seek copies under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts. All correspondence, statements and records relating to individual complaints will be kept confidential except where the Secretary of State or a body conducting an inspection under section 109 of the 2008 Act requests access to them.
The Education Alliance will keep a written record of all complaints received as well as recording the progress of a complaint, decisions, the final outcome, the stage at which the complaint was resolved, learning outcomes and actions taken, regardless of whether a complaint was upheld. The summary information will be collated at Trust level once a year and shared with the Trust Board to enable an annual review of all complaints received in schools across the Trust.
For all stages in this procedure the Trust will acknowledge receipt of the complaint, investigate, and write to the complainant confirming the outcome and offer escalation where a further stage is available.
When investigating complaints, staff investigating will:
- Establish what has happened so far and who has been involved
- Meet with the complainant or contact them
- Clarify the nature of the complaint and assess what remains unresolved
- Clarify what the complainant would view to be a satisfactory resolution
- Conduct interviews fairly, sensitively and objectively

raises large numbers of detailed but unimportant questions, and insists they are fully answered, often immediately and to their own timescales;
* makes unjustified complaints about staff who are trying to deal with the issues, and seeks to have them replaced;
* changes the basis of the complaint as the investigation proceeds;
* repeatedly makes the same complaint (despite previous investigations or responses concluding that the complaint is groundless or has been addressed);
* refuses to accept the findings of the investigation into that complaint where the school's complaint procedure has been fully and properly implemented and completed including referral to the Department for Education;
* seeks an unrealistic outcome;
* makes excessive demands on school time by frequent, lengthy, complicated and stressful contact with staff regarding the complaint in person, in writing, by email and by telephone while the complaint is being dealt with.
A complaint may also be considered unreasonable if the person making the complaint does so either face-to-face, by telephone or in writing or electronically:-
* maliciously;
* aggressively;
* using threats, intimidation or violence;
* using abusive, offensive or discriminatory language;
* knowing it to be false;
* using falsified information;
* publishes unacceptable information in a variety of media such as in social media websites and newspapers.
Complainants should limit the numbers of communications with a school/the Trust while a complaint is being progressed. It is not helpful if repeated correspondence is sent (either by letter, phone, email or text) as it could delay the outcome being reached. Whenever possible, the Head of School or Chair of the LGB will discuss any concerns with the complainant informally before applying an 'unreasonable' marking. If the behaviour continues the Head of School will write to the complainant explaining that their behaviour is unreasonable and asking them to change it.
In response to any serious incident of aggression or violence, the concerns and actions taken will be put in writing immediately and the police informed. This may include banning an individual from Trust premises. Although fulfilling a public function, schools are private places. The public has no automatic right of entry. The Trust will therefore act to ensure its premises remain a safe place for students, staff and other members of their community. If a parent's behaviour is a cause for concern, the Trust will request they leave the premises. In serious cases, the Head of School, Executive Principal, CEO, Chair of the LGB or the Trust Board will notify the complainant in writing that their implied licence to be on Trust premises has been temporarily revoked subject to any representations that the complainant may wish to make. The Trust will give the complainant the opportunity to formally express their views on the decision to bar in writing. The decision to bar will be reviewed following receipt of written representations, and either confirmed or lifted. If the decision is confirmed the complainant will be notified in writing, explaining how long the bar will be in place.
Anyone wishing to complain about being barred can do so, by letter or email, to the Head of School, the Executive Principal, the CEO or Chair of the Trust Board of LGB. However, complaints about barring cannot be escalated to the Department for Education. Once the Trust's Complaints Procedure has been completed, the only remaining avenue of appeal is through the Courts; independent legal advice must therefore be sought.
6. Department for Education
If a complaint has exhausted the Trust's Complaints Procedure and the complainant remains dissatisfied, they have the right to refer their complaint to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State has a duty to consider all complaints raised but will only intervene where the LGB or Trust Board has acted unlawfully or unreasonably and where it is expedient or practical to do so. The School Complaints Unit (SCU) will look at whether the Complaints Procedure and any other relevant statutory policies were adhered to. The SCU also looks at whether statutory policies adhere to education legislation. However, the SCU will not normally re-investigate the substance of the complaint. This remains the responsibility of the Trust. The SCU will not overturn a Trust decision about a complaint except in exceptional circumstances where it is clear the Trust has acted unlawfully or unreasonably. If the SCU finds that the Trust has not handled a complaint in accordance with its procedure, it may request that the complaint is looked at again.
If legislative or policy breaches are found, the SCU will report them to the Trust and the complainant, and where necessary, ask for corrective action to be taken. The SCU normally also seeks written assurances as to future conduct. Failure to carry out remedial actions or provide written assurances could ultimately result in a formal Direction being issued by the Secretary of State in accordance with her powers under sections 496 and 497 of the Education Act 1996. The Trust may wish to contact the SCU for advice on whether they have acted reasonably; for example: in closing down a complaint from a serial complainant before the local procedure has been completed. However, the SCU will not be able to advise on how to resolve the complaint. Further information can be obtained from the SCU by calling the
National Helpline on 0370 000 2288 or going online at: www.education.gov.uk/help/contactus or by writing to:
Department for Education School Complaints Unit 2nd Floor, Piccadilly Gate Store Street Manchester M1 2WD
If the complainant remains unsatisfied, they may then take their complaint to the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).
7. Monitoring of compliance with and effectiveness of the policy and procedure
The LGB will review a summary of complaints each term and the Trust Board will review a summary of complaints annually to ensure learning is shared within the school and across the Trust as appropriate. The Trust Trade Union Forum will review the application of the procedure on an annual basis, advising the Trust if they have experienced any issues or concerns in relation to this procedure.
8. Review
This policy and procedure will be reviewed within 2 years of the implementation date with recognised trade unions at local secretary level.

A cross-sectional study to investigate Iron indices and the concomitant status of inflammatory markers associated with end stage renal disease patients
Dr. Neeta Kapoor
DOI: https://doi.org/10.33545/pathol.2020.v3.i2a.220
Abstract
Background: Iron deficiency in renal disease plays a substantial role as a very common cause. So, it is important to regularly monitor iron profile in hemodialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who receives iron treatment to ensure that iron overload and its toxic remarks do not occur.
Materials and Method: 60 patients with ESRD and 60 normal, healthy subjects as control were included in the study. The parameters considered was HB level, serum iron, TIBC, unsaturated ironbinding capacity (UIBC), serum ferritin, TSAT, C-reactive protein (CRP), blood urea, and serum creatinine. The patients (stage V) who were on parenteral iron therapy for a period of a minimum of 3 months were included in the study.
Results: 120 adults were studied; 60 patients with ESRD and 60 healthy controls. 81%) were male and 19%) were female among the patients, with a mean age of 51.4 ± 13.2 years. For controls, 83% were male 17% were female with a mean age of 32.0 ± 13.5 years. The findings of the present study shows that the HB level of the patients under dialysis was significantly lower as compared to the controls as well as the serum TIBC.
Conclusion: With the help of our study we can conclude that the average percentage of TSAT and serum ferritin level indicates increased iron availability in ESRD patients which, may cause acquired hemochromatosis. CRP elevation was pronounced and could explain the inflammatory activity status. Estimation of CRP marker is a superior simple test in predicting the outcome of hemodialysis patients.

Introduction
Worldwide approximately more than 1.1 million patients has been estimated with end stage renal disease [1]. Till now, there is no treatment for the cure of such patients except dialysis or kidney transplant [2]. End stage renal disease (ESRD) had a high prevalence in Middle Eastern countries and the developing countries [3]. Iron deficiency in renal disease plays a substantial role as a very common cause [4]. So, it is important to regularly monitor iron profile in hemodialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who receives iron treatment to ensure that iron overload and its toxic remarks do not occur [5]. The major markers of iron profile are the serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TSAT). Serum iron may reflect the quantity of iron immediately available for hemoglobin (HB) synthesis [2]. Because of frequent blood loss with gastrointestinal bleeding Absolute iron deficiency develops in patients with kidney disease which may become complicated by decreased oral iron absorption due to special dietary restrictions [6]. Iron stores in the bone marrow of hemodialysis patients as well as being an acute-phase material can be reflected by Serum ferritin [7]. ESRD patient may have functional iron deficiency even after intravenous iron therapy in patients with high ferritin level [8]. The aim of our study was to investigate the iron indices and the associated status of inflammatory markers associated with end stage renal disease.
Materials and Method
It is a prospective study which was conducted in a private hospital. All ESRD patients on regular hemodialysis who received parenteral iron supplementation and erythropoietin as per the nephrology unit's protocol are enrolled in this study. 60 patients with ESRD and 60
normal, healthy subjects as control were included in the study. The parameters considered was HB level, serum iron, TIBC, unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC), serum ferritin, TSAT, C-reactive protein (CRP), blood urea, and serum creatinine. The patients (stage V) who were on parenteral iron therapy for a period of a minimum of 3 months were included in the study while patients with identified malignancy, bleeding disorders, infection or inflammation of alternative causes, history of blood transfusion for one month, recent overt blood loss, and transplant cases were excluded from the study. Ethical clearance was obtained the review board and the informed consents were also obtained from the patients. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS, 24.0 version. Results were presented in number, percent, mean, and standard deviation. P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results
120 adults were studied; 60 patients with ESRD and 60 healthy controls. 81%) were male and 19%) were female among the patients, with a mean age of 51.4 ± 13.2 years. For controls, 83% were male 17% were female with a mean age of 32.0 ± 13.5 years. The findings of the present study shows that the HB level of the patients under dialysis was significantly lower as compared to the controls as well as the serum TIBC and UIBC which were insignificant. Serum iron of the hemodialysis patients was insignificant, although it was higher when compared to the controls while the other hand, the parameters such as TSAT, serum ferritin, blood urea, and serum creatinine levels of the patients were significantly higher compared to the controls. A positive correlation has been statistically significant observed between the age of the patients and two parameters, serum ferritin and TSAT ( P < 0.000 and 0.014, respectively) and a negative correlation between age of the patients and neither serum iron nor TIBC and nor UIBC with P < 0.274, 0.445, and 0.274, respectively. However, the TSAT levels correlated significantly with serum iron, TIBC, and UIBC ( P < 0.000, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively). There was a good correlation between serum ferritin levels and TIBC levels ( P < 0.022). [TABLE-1, 2]

Discussion
Patients with ESRD had heightened inflammatory condition probably resulted from uremia. This inflammation may interfere with the utilization of iron by impairing the hepcidin [9]. Anemia is rampant within the final population and nutritional anemia reported about 23–98% [10]. Surprisingly, about 78% of the ESRD in the present study had anemia, and most of them had administrated with iron therapy. The functional iron deficiency was demonstrated within the overwhelming majority of ESRD patients 32%, which probably stemmed from subclinical inflammation. Małyszko et al. [11]. In his study mentioned that the iron may be a vital ingredient for HB synthesis, presence of adequate iron stores should be there before the erythropoietin hormone is initiated. Iron therapy is extremely important for normal response to erythropoietin in ESRD patients because the demand of iron by the precursor erythroid marrow proportionally may exceed the amount of iron that's immediately available for erythropoiesis processors (as estimated by TSAT) likewise as tissue iron stores (as estimated by ferritin level) [12]. It's significant to sustain the excellence between absolute (ferritin <20 µg/l) and functional iron deficiency (TSAT

Dental Applications Of Computerized Tomography: Surgical Planning For Implant Placement
Ebooks Gratuit
With successful osseointegration of implants as the goal, radiologists and surgeons rely on computerized tomography for accurate preoperative determination of the exact position for optimal implant placement. This comprehensive reference describes how to perform and interpret the dental CT scan, bridging the gap between the radiologist who is faced with an uninterpretable dental CT examination and the surgeon who needs expert advice on evaluating implant sites in difficult cases. Imaging techniques are provided for the radiologist along with detail and advice for the dental surgeon.
