Uttarakhand CM launches campaign to connect with youngsters In a unique initiative to establish direct contact with the youth, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat launched a campaign called "Devbhoomi dialogue" at his official residence calling upon them to look for self-employment opportunities in their chosen fields. * Valuable suggestions made by the youth at this programme will be included in the policies to be framed by the state government in future. * The idea to initiate a programme like this was inspired by the success of a similar feedback oriented programme called 'Apki Rai, Apka Budget' conducted prior to introducing the state's annual budget in the Assembly last month. * Rawat also honoured young entrepreneurs who have done good work in the field of education, health and agriculture in the state and let them recount their experiences so that they could be an inspiration for others. Bengal's Digambarpur is India's best Gram Panchayat West Bengal has once again topped in the country with Digambarpur Gram Panchayat (GP) bagging the Centre's award for the best GP in the country. * Besides this, some more Gram Panchayats in districts including Purulia, Birbhum and Burdwan have also been awarded special prizes for certain achievements * A survey was conducted to find out the best Gram Panchayat in the country and in a letter to the state government the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has stated that Digambarpur GP at Patharpratima block in South 24-Parganas has come up as the best out of 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats in the country. PM Modi award for Manipur's Karang – India's first cashless island of the countr Prime Minister Narendra Modi honoured bureaucrats for making Manipur's Karang the first cashless island of the country, and implementing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and other priority initiatives of the Centre. * Modi awarded civil servants for smooth implementation of four priority programmes — Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban and Rural), Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana, and for promoting digital payments. * Also, Awards were given away for innovation in public service. Karang island, a remote and backward region, was cut-off from the (Bishnupur) district due to insurgency for a long time. * Incentives were provided for training towards digital payments and five POS machines were installed on the island. Yogi, most popular CM on Facebook Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has emerged as the most popular Chief Minister in India whose Facebook page had accounted the'most interacting' in the year 2017. * Yogi had pipped more fancied Chief Minister of Rajasthan Vasundhra Raje and Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani to 2nd and 3rd positions respectively. * The data looks at the popularity of these accounts from the period of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, and is based on interactions on the platform, which include total reactions, shares and comments. International Current Affairs Syria returns Legion d'honneur to France Syria has returned the prestigious Legion d'honneur that was presented to President Bashar al-Assad, by France, saying he would not wear the award of a "slave country" to the US. * It comes just days after French President Emmanuel Macron begun the formal process of stripping the honour from his Syrian counterpart. * France joined the US and UK in launching airstrikes at chemical weapons facilities in government-held Syria last week following the alleged use by Damascus of poison gas on citizens in a rebel-held enclave outside the capital. North Korea 'halts missile and nuclear tests North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says he has suspended all missile tests and will shut down a nuclear test site. * The decision to suspend missile launches was made during a meeting of the ruling party's central committee. * In a statement quoted by the agency, Mr Kim said it was no longer necessary to conduct missile tests because "nuclear weaponisation" had been achieved. * The decision to halt missile tests is also aimed at pursuing economic growth. * Mr Kim reportedly pledged to "concentrate all efforts" on developing a socialist economy. Modi's visit to Germany Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Germany after wrapping up his visit to the UK where he attended the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) and held a series of bilateral meetings. * Prime Minister Modi met German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a brief stopover in Berlin. * It will be the first meeting between the two leaders since Merkel began her fourth term as German chancellor last month. * The Indian premier's meeting with Merkel comes after German President FrankWalter Steinmeier's trip to India last month, which focused on boosting economic and strategic ties between the two countries. * Germany is India's largest trade partner in the European Union bloc. * The meeting between Modi and Merkel is expected to focus on ways to boost economic cooperation between the two countries. Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from G20 agree to aim for economic growth by promoting trade Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from G20, the Group of 20 economies, have agreed to aim for economic growth by promoting trade. * In their two day meeting at Washington, the financial leaders agreed to work together to promote trade and global economic growth. * The delegates expressed the concern that protectionist policies and a further escalation of US-China trade friction could slow down the global economy. Banking & Finance PNB impounds passports of 150 wilful defaulters Punjab National Bank (PNB), the country's second-largest public sector lender, has impounded passports of 150 wilful loan defaulters apart from lodging 37 FIRs against those who are not repaying loans as part of its recovery drive. * The bank has already declared 1,084 wilful defaulters and published photos of 260 such defaulters in newspapers. * The state-run bank also plans to leverage data for loan recovery and risk management through a tie-up with an external agency. * PNB is seeking to access contact details of defaulters, who have good credit record with other lenders and chase the errant borrowers. * This partnership is a part of the larger strategy to deploy technology to strengthen internal systems. This partnership will not only help the bank with loan recovery but will also help identify and automate profitable lending strategies and minimize credit and fraud risk. * It claimed that two special one-time settlement (OTS) schemes have already helped accelerate recovery of bad debt, with the average rising from 70,000-80,000 NPA accounts a year to 2.25 lakh accounts during the last 10 months. These schemes apply to small NPA accounts, helping defaulters come out of debt. RBI makes Aadhaar key to KYC compliance The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) amended its 'know your customer' (KYC) guidelines, making Aadhaar key to conducting customer due diligence by banks and finance companies. * The RBI has also done away with sections relating to the use of other "officially valid documents" by lenders for address and identity proof. * In a circular, the RBI said the norms have been revised because the government had amended laws on prevention of money laundering through a gazette notification on June 2017. * The Aadhaar requirement though is relaxed for residents of Jammu & Kashmir, Assam and Meghalaya. Business TCS inches closer to become first Indian company with $100 bn market cap Shares of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) jumped 6.5 per cent after the company reported a 4.4 per cent rise in March quarter net profit and guided towards a better show in fiscal 2019. * This has taken its market capitalisation (m-cap) to over Rs 6.50 lakh crore or around $98 billion. * With this, the IT major emerges as the first Indian company with a market capitalisation of close to $100 billion. * The stock, after making a positive opening, further soared 6.55 per cent to hit its 52week high of Rs 3,399.90 on BSE. *

THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (EDUCATION) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA KAREN WILLIAMS AN EMERGENT METHODOLOGY FOR CREATING A TRANSCULTURAL SPATIAL NARRATIVE RECONCEPTUALISING THE NGUNAWAL SOCIO-CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AS INTERACTIVE SPACE DECEMBER 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis is about creating a synthesis of emergent methodology with empathic understanding through transforming, as researcher, my ways of knowing and worldview. I use a transcultural spatial narrative about achieving that synthesis to demonstrate an emergent methodology. I present the theoretical underpinnings of my emergent methodology by exploring the process of transforming self. A transdisciplinary approach to history, ethnography and the visual arts is used to interact with Ngunawal ways of knowing and to reconceptualise the meanings of territory, line, space and the boundaries of the Ngunawal socio-cultural landscape. I discuss my redefined concepts and permeable boundaries with reference to Tindale's 1974 map of tribal boundaries, which became a catalyst in my creation of a transcultural perspective (endorsed by the Ngunawal Elders) of Ngunawal territory. My methodology and empathic understanding emerge from my transformation. The movement and change, communicated by a series of exegeses, can be traced as I create the transcultural spatial narrative. The purpose of the thesis is both to develop, as an empathic researcher, a methodology for temporarily suspending my established knowledge base and to challenge my preconceptions in order to better understand the ways of knowing and perception of others. That purpose is achieved using a case study of the relationship between Ngunawal Aboriginal Australian culture and my own Euro-Australian culture. I create an interpretative narrative of territory as a means of validating my understanding. An interpretive narrative of Ngunawal territory means working with the Ngunawal Elders and their perspective of territory, but not appropriating their culture. However, since Mabo 2, research on Native Title has increasingly focused on the material dimensions of culture. The current focus is on defining the boundaries of 'place' as lines on maps, and on the material connection of people to places between those lines. Given our original perception of Australia as Terra Nullius was so badly flawed, I have challenged the perceptions and ways of knowing that led to it. Therefore, I work toward creating a transcultural narrative that focuses on physical and non-physical aspects that define territory. The Ngunawal Elders taught me that ways of knowing territory depend on recognising the different emphasis generally placed on the interaction of personal and environmental space by my own culture compared to Ngunawal culture. Differences in the perception of boundaries between mind, body and environment are key. The general view of my culture perceives mind, body and environment as separate and opposing. This challenges the coherence of a narrative of territory. The difference in perception caused me to rethink the role of self as I reconceptualised Ngunawal territory in terms of interactive space (a hybrid space of social, cultural and environmental interaction). Reconceptualising self in interactive space enabled me to perceive Ngunawal culture empathically without appropriating it. I created a spatial narrative using a hybrid system of signals and symbols that were open to new and changing experiences and perceptions. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have come to understand that the thesis process is not about arriving at correct answers but learning to ask the right questions, and the life journey that involves. I acknowledge the Ngunawal community for sharing their culture and showing me the way. I use this opportunity to particularly thank Ngunawal Elders Don and Ruth Bell and their family. Don and Ruth showed me how to understand what I felt about the environment I lived in, how to overcome the boundaries of separation. They helped me find who I was. I'll never forget the sound of Don's laugh when, during one of our chats, he said to me 'I always knew you were an earth girl'. It had only taken me something like 15 years to work it out. Don and Ruth seemed to spend most of their time with me waiting for me to catch up, but they were always very patient. This thesis is a tribute to their teaching, patience and, especially, their trust. Don died in 2008, leaving a great hole in all of our lives. Don was not a man of many words, but what he did say had great wisdom. There are many things that Don told or showed me, but the one thing that has influenced both my personal and working life from the very moment he spoke the words, is to work from within – to feel and be the spirit from within yourself. That was the way Don lived and worked, which would be why he was so highly respected by archaeologists and other heritage professionals, and children and adults alike. He was the real thing. Don recognised Ngunawal culture from the deep sense of knowing that only comes when someone is connected to that culture in a genuine and profoundly spiritual way. Don was proud of his Ngunawal heritage and, at the same time, he was very humble; so that when we walked the land together, there would be an exchange of knowledge both ways. He never tried to belittle my contribution, even when it must have been old news to him. We were both interested in pathways, and I am grateful we followed the same life pathway for a time, were able to meet and explore each other's questions. Similarly, I am grateful to have met, along that same pathway, my various supervisors. I thank them all for their questions and their individual insights into my learning process Barbara Chevalier, Barbara Pamphilon in the earlier stages, (briefly) Jennifer Craik and, in the later stages, John Spriggs. To my primary supervisor Barbara Chambers I owe a great deal. Barbara patiently listened to, viewed or read all of my incoherent searchings, maintaining faith throughout, judiciously stepping back or nudging where necessary; walking with me on v my journey even when there was no path to follow. I acknowledge John Spriggs especially for his editorial overviews and his remarkable ability to ask the right questions. Thank you to my friends (and sounding boards) Ann Gugler, John Bruggeman, Joan Goodrum, Rebecca Lamb and Jill Waterhouse for sharing their knowledge and experience of the overlap of colonial and Aboriginal Australian socio-cultural landscapes with me. Thanks also to Marcus Chacos and Robyn Barraclough for sharing my exploration of the interconnection of mind, body and environment. I thank my family for their loving support. This thesis would not have been completed without them. Having begun the process in 2004, my children Paul and Alice have lived with'mum's thesis' (which started life as a Masters) throughout most of their teenage years. I learnt a lot over those years from their insightful comments (and also, more recently, their partners'). Finally, my profound thanks and gratitude goes to my husband/partner/best friend Terry. Terry not only lived the thesis journey with me, he was my primary editor during the raw floundering stages, right through to the polishing. Words fail me in my appreciation of his perseverance and commitment, but especially in his belief in my work and in me. TABLE OF CONTENTS 7.2 Exegesis 4: An unguided exegesis 275

Research Fellow Position Data Quality, Uncertainty, and Lineage Stéphane Bressan & Pierre Senellart National University of Singapore & ENS, PSL University We describe a two-year Research Follow (post-doctoral) position available at CNRS@CREATE, Singapore, in the framework of a collaboration between National University of Singapore and the Valda team of École normale supérieure (PSL University), CNRS & Inria (France). Background and Research Description Real-world data is not always readily usable: it may be marred with uncertainty, of low quality, or too costly to be obtained (because of its price, access limitations, or for privacy reasons). There is actually often a trade-off between the cost and quality of data: acquiring more data or higherquality data is often feasible, but at the cost of paying for it, spending communication resources downloading it, or spending computation resources running costly data enrichment tools. An approach to keep track of the lineage and uncertainty of information is through the use of provenance-aware, probabilistic, database management systems [1]. Such a state-of-the-art system, ProvSQL [2] (https://github.com/PierreSenellart/provsql/) is in development in the Valda group, relying on the semiring provenance model of [3]. The goal of this Research Fellow position is to develop new models, algorithms, implementations for the management of the provenance and probability of uncertain, low-quality, costly-to-access data, by extending the ProvSQL system and rigorously evaluating them on real-world data (including data from the DesCartes project, see further). In particular, the following aspects can be investigated: * How to add robust support for continuous probability distributions into probabilistic database query evaluation? * How to handle arbitrary aggregate queries over provenance-aware and probabilistic databases? * How to properly deal with database operations beyond regular query evaluation: updates, user-defined functions, out-of-database operations? Environment The Research Fellow will be employed for this two-year position by CNRS@CREATE, the subsidiary of CNRS in Singapore. He will be based at the CREATE Tower, within National University of Singapore. He will work under the co-supervision of Stéphane Bressan, Associate Professor at NUS and Pierre Senellart, Professor at ENS. This position is funded in the context of the DesCartes project 1 of CNRS@CREATE, a French–Singaporean collaborative project in Singapore, on the general topic of Intelligent Modelling for Decision-Making in Critical Urban Systems. The PhD is part of WorkPackage 2 of DesCartes on Learning from Smart and Complex Data for Hybrid AI ; it may involve use cases relevant to the project such as structure monitoring, control of drones, digital energy, though it remains a basic research project in computer science. Pierre Senellart will spend part of his time in Singapore over the period of the PhD. Regular meetings will also be held by video-conference. Finally, there will also be opportunities for the Research Fellow to spend time in Paris, for extended research trips working in the Valda group. Conditions Starting date Flexible. The starting date should be in 2022 or in the first half of 2023. The earlier, the better. Deadline for application Applications will be continually considered as they are received. Prerequisites Doctoral degree in computer science (or similar field) and research experience in the area of data management, machine learning, or data mining. An interest for and willingness to develop both theoretical and systems aspects of data management research is desired.

PLANT EXTRACTS AS CORROSION INHIBITORS FOR ALUMINIUM PIGMENTS IN ALKALINE MEDIUM Akalezi CO, Enebeaku CE and Oguzie EE Electrochemistry and Materials Science Research Unit (EMRU), Department of Chemistry, Federal University of technology, PMB 1526 Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria E-mail: chrisakalezi@ yahoo.com Abstract The inhibition effects of some plant extracts on the corrosion of aluminium pigments in alkaline medium was investigated using a gas volumetric technique at pH 8.5 and 10.5 and temperatures 30 and 40 O C. The studied plant materials include Dacryodes edulis (DE), Mucuna pruriene (MP), Pentacletra macrophylla (PM), Caladium bicolor (CB), Newbouldier laevis (NBL). The gas volumetric method enabled determination of the latency period of the aluminium pigment which represents the time required to initiate the corrosion reaction in the medium. Inhibition efficiency was determined by comparing the latency periods in absence and in presence of the plant extracts. The results obtained indicate that all the extracts inhibited the corrosion reaction in the reaction medium with inhibition efficiency (%) of 95.4, 96.6, 98.0, 98.5, 99.0 for NBL, CB, MP, PM and DE respectively at 5.0 %(v/v) inhibitor concentration. Keywords: Aluminium pigments, plant extracts, corrosion inhibition, alkaline medium. 1.0 Introduction Aluminium pigments are used in printing and silver inks, as decorative topcoats for metallic structures (frames, gates, doors, railings, masts, posts and other constructions or machine parts) and as a means for protecting the metallic surfaces against corrosion (Kiehl and Greiwe 1999; Karlson et al, 2006; Lui et al, 2007). The protective action of Al coatings is based on the fact that, all aluminium surfaces form a dense, almost impermeable oxide layer on the surface upon exposure to air (Wheeler, 1999). Aluminium pigments are usually manufactured from aluminium granules by a ball milling process in the presence of mineral spirit and fatty acid (Karlson, 2006). During the process of forming, the surface areas of the aluminium particles are drastically increased, resulting in high surface reactivity by water (Karlson, 2006; Kiehl and Greiwe 1999). Due to the high reactivity of Al pigment particles with water, aluminium coatings have traditionally been solvent borne (Muller et al, 2001a, 2001b; Karlson et al, 2006; Chattopadhyay, 2001). However, due to increasing awareness about the environment and ensuing strict environmental regulations governing emission of organic solvents, solvent borne aluminium coatings are giving way to water borne coatings It has been observed that, under the slightly alkaline conditions in which most water-borne paints exist, aluminium reacts with water to form aluminium oxide and aluminium hydroxide according to the scheme (Karlson, 2006; Lui et al, 2007; Kiehl and Greiwe, 1999; Reisser et al, 1995): These reactions lead to loss of the shiny aluminium appearance of the pigment particles and more importantly the evolved hydrogen gas may lead to unacceptable pressure build up in containers and constitute explosion hazards (Lui et al, 2007; Muller, 2002, 2004; Besold et al, 1991). Therefore, there is need to protect the surface of pigment particles using suitable corrosion inhibitors which show sufficient affinity for the pigment surface. Again, owing to increasing ecological awareness and strict environmental regulations as well as the inevitable drive towards sustainable and environmentally friendly processes, attention is now focused on the development of substitute nontoxic alternatives to inorganic and organic inhibitors applied earlier. Consequently the current focus in corrosion inhibitor research is to identify and develop new classes of non toxic, benign, inexpensive and efficient alternatives. In this regard, there has been increasing interest in investigating natural products of plant origin for corrosion inhibiting efficacy. Abdel-Gaber et al (2008) investigated the inhibition of aluminium corrosion in alkaline solutions using Ambrosia maritime L (damsissa) extract employing different chemical and electrochemical techniques. Priya et al. (2005) studied the corrosion behaviour of aluminium in rain water containing garlic extract. The inhibitive action of the acid extracts of seeds, leaves and barks from the Ficus virens plants towards hydrochloric and sulphuric acid corrosion of aluminium has been tested using weight loss and thermometric techniques (Jain et al, 2006). Kliskic et al (2000) analyzed aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officiantus as corrosion inhibitor for aluminium alloy corrosion in chloride solution. EL-Hosary et al (1972) studied the corrosion inhibition of aluminium and zinc in HCl using Hisbiscus subdariffa extract. Avwiri and coworkers (2003) studied the inhibitive action of Vernonia amygdalina on the corrosion of aluminium alloy in HCl and H2SO4. Several studies from our laboratory investigated the corrosion inhibition efficiency of some plant extracts including Sansevieria trifasciata, Ocimum basilicum, Telfaria occidentalis extracts on aluminium and mild steel corrosion in different environments using the gas volumetric technique (Oguzie et al, 2005; Oguzie, 2007 and 2008). Unlike aluminium metal, corrosion and corrosion inhibition of aluminium pigments has not received as much attention. Nevertheless, the few studies in the area have demonstrated that the same theories and mechanisms apply and some organic compounds that inhibit aluminium metal corrosion also function well on aluminium pigments. The organic inhibiting agents applied so far include phenols and aromatic acids, alkyl phosphates and other anionic amphiphiles (Karlsson et al, 2006; Das et al, 2004; Kummert et al, 1980; Muller et al, 2001a, Muller 2002). A common feature for all of them is of that they contain functional groups that interact specifically with aluminium at the surface by adsorption and plant extracts are also rich in such species. The present report assesses the suitability of plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors for aluminium pigments and investigates the inhibiting effect of leaf extracts of Newbouldia laevis (NBL), Caladium bicolor (CB), Pentaclethra macrophylla (PM), Mucuna pruriene (MP) and Dacryodes edulis (DE) on the corrosion of aluminium pigments in aqueous alkaline environments using the gas volumetric technique. These plants have been chosen from literature survey based on their known medicinal and antimicrobial activities [Ekanem et al, 2013; Mishra and Wagnar, 2006, Ugbogu and Akukwe, 2009; Usman and Osuji, 2007]. However, they have not been previously utilized for the purpose of inhibiting aluminium pigment corrosion. 2.0 Materials and method 2.1 Materials 100% unstabilized nonleafing aluminum pigment powder (average particle diameter 16 µm and specific surface about of 5m 2 /g: BET method) was used. The reagents include, butyl glycol, a wetting agent (adduct of 10 moles of ethylene oxide to nonylphenol), triaminomethylphenol (AMP) for pH adjustment. All reagents are of analytical grade and used as supplied by Benda Lutz of Austria. 2.2 The plant extract Fresh green leaves from the plants of NBL, CB, PM, PM and DE used as inhibitors for this study was obtained from Ihiaqwa in Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria. The leaves were sun dried to constant weight and latter ground into powder using an electric blender. Stock solutions of the extracts were prepared by boiling 100g of the ground leaves in 500mL of 0.5M NaOH for 3 hours (under reflux). The resulting solutions were allowed to cool to room temperature and then filtered to remove the plant residues. The amount of plant material extracted into solution was quantified by comparing the weight of the dried residue with the initial weight of the powdered plant material before extraction. The concentration of the stock solution was calculated in terms of v/v%. 2.3 The Gasometric Assembly This is essentially an apparatus that measures the volume of gas evolved from a reaction system and consist of a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask connected via a delivery tube to a burette which in turn is connected to a reservoir of paraffin oil. This set-up provides a rapid and sensitive means for gauging any perturbation by an inhibitor with regard to gas evolution within the system. With regard to practical applications of aluminium pigments in waterborne paints the hydrogen volume evolved after a certain period of time is the most important measured quantity. 2.4 Experimental procedure The corrosion medium was a mixture of 100ml of water and butyl glycol in the ratio of 9:1. To improve the wetting of the hydrophobic aluminium powder, 2.0 wt% of a wetting agent was added. The pH of the solution was raised to 8.5 and 10.5 with AMP. Then, 1.0g of the aluminium pigment powder was dispersed in the medium with a magnetic stirrer for about 5 min. The settled aluminium pigment of uninhibited dispersion showed initially a metallic sparkle which reacted by rapid effervescence resulting from hydrogen gas evolution to form aluminium hydroxide [Muller, 1999]. The progress of the corrosion reaction was monitored at 30 and 40 o C respectively and the time required for the evolution of 100ml of H2 gas. The volume of hydrogen gas evolved by the corrosion reaction was estimated by the volume change in the level of the paraffin oil in

the aluminium pigment with the plant extracts of NBL, CB, PM, MP, and DE significantly inhibited the corrosion process of aluminium pigment leading to an extended latency periods compared to that of the uninhibited aluminium pigment. The latency period was found to depend on pH, temperature, and plant type and the duration of the latency showed the following order: DE>MP>PM>CB>NBL. A linear correlation was obtained between inhibition efficiency and duration of latency for each extract. Plant extracts can serve as effective, non toxic and cheap corrosion inhibitors for aluminium pigments in alkaline medium with DE as the most effective. The authors are grateful to Mr. DI. Ingo Giesinger of Benda-Lutz, who provided the aluminium pigment and other chemicals. Referrences Abdel-Gaber, A.M., Khamis, E., Abo-ELDahab, H., Adeel, Sh., 2008.

The President chaired the meeting of the Commission, assisted by M. Leblanc, Secretary and M. Hornof, C. Moreau, and W. Khan, Recording Secretaries. Minutes of the CNSC Meeting Held March 3, 2020 5. The Commission secretarially approved the minutes of the March 3, 2020 Commission meeting as presented in CMD 20M8. STATUS REPORT ON POWER REACTORS 6. With reference to CMD 20-M10, which includes the Status Report on Power Reactors and an update on the CNSC staff and licensees' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic (the pandemic), CNSC staff presented the following updates: - Bruce Nuclear Generating Station (NGS) Unit 4 was at 89% of full power (FP) and was returning to FP; and - Pickering NGS Unit 1 was at 65% of FP and was returning to FP 7. CNSC staff reported that on March 15, 2020, the CNSC activated its Business Continuity Plan (BCP), which resulted in Ottawa and site staff working from home and temporarily discontinuing onsite inspections across all nuclear power plants (NPPs). CNSC staff added that effective regulatory oversight has been maintained during the pandemic. This has been facilitated by CNSC inspectors being provided with virtual private network (VPN) access to the licensees' information systems. Further, CNSC staff reported that on May 4, 2020 a revised pre-job briefing procedure was issued based on COVID-19 protocol directions provided by the Government of Canada and licensees. On May 5, 2020 limited onsite inspections at licensees' facilities resumed. Comments from Industry Representatives 8. An OPG representative submitted that as part of pandemic planning, OPG, Bruce Power and NB Power were well prepared and had a sufficient inventory of protective equipment for their workers. The OPG representative added that OPG had taken a number of measures since the early onset of the COVID-19 virus to minimize the risk of transmission and to reduce the risk the COVID-19 virus poses to workers' physical and mental health. The measures include: - Restricting control room access to critical staff - Installing temperature monitoring station - Staggering start times with specific routes - Implementing a facemask protocol - Temporarily closing administrative buildings - Increasing frequency of online training and virtual classes for employees - Providing employee family assistance and access to medical professionals using telehealth applications 9. A Bruce Power representative submitted that through the pandemic, Bruce Power had continued to produce and harvest approximately 70% of the world's supply of Cobalt-60. Also, Bruce Power had focused its efforts on supporting the communities as they respond to the challenges presented by COVID-19 by donating hand sanitizers, face masks, protective suits and plastic shields to the medical community. The Bruce Power representative added that Bruce Power had hosted a series of town halls and live events on social media, with municipal leaders and medical officers present, to convey vital information to residents. 10. An NB Power representative submitted that, as a result of emergency plans in place, frequent drills and exercises, and through the experience gained when working through severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), NB Power was well prepared to respond to COVID-19. The NB Power representative further submitted that due to the prolonged duration of the pandemic, NB Power had learned some valuable lessons related to the maintenance of a robust supply chain, and the need for frequent communications with the community. General Questions 11. The Commission asked staff and the licensee representatives to speak to whether there was an increased risk of cyber-security breaches because of the increasing number of electronic tools being deployed as a result of the pandemic. CNSC staff responded that instructions were provided as to what platforms were secured and not secured and that when CNSC staff were connected through the VPN, they were able to discuss information up to the Protected B level. 1 12. An OPG representative responded that OPG ensured that there was a robust information technology (IT) security plan in place when directing staff to work from home and added that the security barriers in place were monitored on a daily basis throughout the pandemic. 13. A Bruce Power representative responded that Bruce Power had appropriate security measures for information protection on its network and that it was regularly communicated to staff not to send documents to their personal e-mail addresses as it may compromise security. The Bruce Power representative added that there had been an increase in attempts to circumvent Bruce Power's security systems and that Bruce Power was currently doing internal phishing campaigns to ensure that employees know what e-mails may be fraudulent. 14. An NB Power representative submitted that NB Power had a program in place for cyber security that included secure networks for transmission of protected information and awareness training for all staff. The NB Power representative further submitted that NB Power had in place, prior to the pandemic, a framework to prevent cyber security attacks and that the pandemic tested the system in place and allowed NB Power to make the necessary adjustments. 15. The Commission enquired as to whether there was an impact to the scheduled refurbishment project, the MCR Project or planned outages as a result of the pandemic. An OPG representative responded that OPG was able to complete the refurbishment of Darlington NGS Unit 2, which was now at full power and added 1 Information where unauthorized disclosure could cause serious injury to an individual, organization or government. Examples include: medical information, information protected by solicitor-client or litigation privilege, and information received in confidence from other government departments and agencies. that the refurbishment of Darlington NGS Unit 3 was delayed by approximately one month. The OPG representative further reported that the Pickering NGS Unit 1 outage was complete and that the unit was at 60% of full power and added that OPG completed its planned outages and a forced outage at Pickering without any safety concerns. 16. On the same topic, a Bruce Power representative responded that the MCR Project at Bruce NGS Unit 6 was delayed by approximately two months while the outage for Unit 5 was delayed by one month. The Bruce Power representative added that since early June 2020, Bruce Power had resumed some critical path

CNSC staff may consider documenting the distinction between those two terms within the REGDOC. 137. Upon request by the Commission, CNSC staff explained how the degradation and aging of barriers at a facility relate contextually to the timeframe for the operation of a facility. CNSC staff stated that the timeframe for a facility considers factors including dose and waste characterization, whereas a facility includes multiple barriers to consider the degradation that may be encountered over the timeframe. Decision on REGDOC-2.11.1, Volume III 138. Following its consideration of REGDOC-2.11.1, Volume III, DECISION Waste Management: Safety Case for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste, Version 2 the Commission approves REGDOC-2.11.1, Volume III for publication and use. Regulatory Document REGDOC-2.11.2, Decommissioning 139. The Commission noted that the CNSC's definition of "decommissioning," as provided in REGDOC-2.11.2, was different than other definitions for this term and had generated many comments from stakeholders, including CSOs and industry, during the REGDOC consultation process. CNSC staff explained that, in its definition for decommissioning, the CNSC aimed to align with the IAEA safety standards and CSA Group standards including CSA N292.0 and CSA N294:19, Decommissioning of facilities containing nuclear substances, 23 and also aimed to provide stakeholders the clarification that was requested. The Commission was satisfied with the information provided by CNSC staff on this point. 140. The Commission invited staff to address in-situ decommissioning for future reactors, since it was not a preferred decommissioning strategy for nuclear reactors. CNSC staff explained that a proponent must consider the decommissioning of a facility in the design phase and that this is something that the CNSC assesses at the early stages of a project. CNSC staff provided clarity on how this decommissioning may be conducted and that, with operating nuclear power plants and any new facilities, it is expected that the whole facility will be fully removed. 141. CNSC staff noted that, although REGDOC-2.11.2 aligns with Canada's Radioactive Waste Policy Framework, the CNSC was also shifting to better align with IAEA guidance in regard to insitu decommissioning. CNSC staff outlined why the IAEA recommended against in-situ decommissioning, including historical misuses of this approach. An NRCan representative confirmed that the CNSC's approach is consistent with Canada's Radioactive Waste Policy Framework and also that in-situ decommissioning of nuclear facilities would be considered in the upcoming policy review. 23 N294:19, Decommissioning of facilities containing nuclear substances, CSA Group, 2019. 142. Asked about in-situ decommissioning for research reactors, CNSC staff explained that REGDOC-2.11.2 provides the same guidance as CSA N294:19, limiting in-situ decommissioning as an option for legacy research reactor facilities only and added that this would not be an acceptable decommissioning strategy for proposed facilities. 143. In regard to the safety assessment for a proposed facility, the Commission noted that the requirements to demonstrate a safety case appeared to be very open-ended and complex and enquired about whether additional guidance was available for proponents. CNSC staff responded that the REGDOC reflects a broad range of nuclear facility proponents and that, for this reason, REGDOC-2.11.2 provides references to the more-detailed IAEA Safety Standards. 144. The Commission is satisfied with CNSC staff's explanation of in-situ decommissioning and its inappropriateness as a strategy for a proposed facility. The REGDOC would benefit from this being clearer. The Commission would also like the REGDOC to define a "legacy site" and to be clear respecting how the decommissioning of research reactors is to be treated in this regard. Decision on REGDOC-2.11.2 145. Following its consideration of REGDOC-2.11.2, Decommissioning the Commission approves REGDOC-2.11.2 for publication and use, once text has been added to the document to accord with the clarifications that were provided orally: - in what situations would in-situ decommissioning be considered as a viable decommissioning strategy - the decommissioning of research reactors - the definition of a "legacy site" 146. The Commission need not see this added text if it aligns with the oral submissions staff made in the public meeting. Regulatory Document REGDOC-3.3.1, Financial Guarantees for Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities and Termination of Licensed Activities 147. The Commission enquired about the four cost categories included in REGDOC-3.3.1. CNSC staff explained that these four categories for the development of a cost estimate are based DECISION on the international structure for decommissioning costing and provided details on how the four categories were to be considered by licensees. CNSC staff also stated that, for decommissioning and large projects, cost estimates were on a cash flow basis rather than on operating and capital expenditures. 148. The Commission enquired about whether the contingency cost category included pandemics. CNSC staff explained that contingencies include uncertainties that are within the scope of a decommissioning project and added that, because a pandemic is a risk that is not within the scope of a decommissioning project, it would not be considered as part of the contingency cost category. 149. In regard to situations that would trigger an update to decommissioning cost estimates, CNSC staff explained that the CNSC has a regular five-year cycle for the review of financial guarantees and also explained that operational changes or changes to the financial situation of a licensee could trigger a review of the acceptability of a financial guarantee. 150. The Commission enquired about the basis for a five-year cycle for the review of financial guarantees. CNSC staff explained that the cost estimate was based on a preliminary decommissioning plan (PDP) and that licensees are required to update their PDP every five years, a time period that adequately allowed licensees to re-evaluate their operation, inventories and other changes that may have occurred at their facility. CNSC staff also explained that licensees had to report annually on the value and validity of their financial guarantees, how CNSC staff assessed the validity of the financial guarantees and noted that licensees could revise cost estimates earlier than the five-year cycle, if applicable. 151. Further on that topic, CNSC staff explained that additional regulatory action could be taken if a situation requiring it arises, as was done with the recent subsection 12(2) of the General Nuclear Safety and Control Regulations 24 request for licensees to report on their financial guarantees in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. Decision on REGDOC-3.3.1 152. Following its consideration of REGDOC-3.3.1, Financial Guarantees for Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities and Termination of Licensed Activities, the Commission approves REGDOC-3.3.1 for publication and use.

A panel of Microbiologists investigated an outbreak of gastroenteritis with a local street food in April-May 2012. The infecting agent was Salmonella typhimurium. A case control study was conducted to identify the source of infection. The food materials served also took into version for the presence of S. typhimurium. A total of 24 cases and 6 controls were recruited to take part in this study. The major constraint of this study was the small sample size and small number of controls and selective food samples. Despite this, a strong association with illness and consumption of those street side foods was detected and this was further supported by environmental indication. The investigation concluded that the cause of the infection was putatively foods available in street side including coconut chutney and Kurma either on their own or as an ingredient used for preparation. The workers those are working the street hotels are also accountable for this infection spread. The nail cuts and stool samples from the workers also supported the presence of S. typhimurium by culturing, biochemical confirmation and antibiotic resistance. The investigation and control measures led to an improvement in hygiene practices at the restaurants and contributed to the voluntary recall of the contaminated foods. The results of the study also build upon other evidence that street foods related salmonellosis is now common in Thanjavur, India and attention to commercial practices at production and processing is overdue. As control measures, the research team provided the protective materials like hand gloves, spoon covers to avoid the food contamination. Introduction In India, more number of food borne illness are estimated annually costing of estimated numerous crores per year and Salmonella typhimurium is the atypical type of samonellosis causing gastrointestinal diseases. Many of these infections are preventable by appropriate interventions and surveillance help to recognize the control actions (Hall et al., 2005; CDC, 2009). The much involvement of Health departments under ministry of health need more interventional research and surveillance for food borne diseases and disease potentially transmitted by food to monitor trends in illness, detect outbreaks, inform preventive measures and evaluation of the efficacy of interventional efforts. These observations are not satisfactory in India compared to other countries. More food borne diseases manifest as mild self limiting gastroenteritis, with only 25% of affected people seeking medical attention (Majowicz et al., 2005; Hall et al., 2006). Consequently surveillance data collected by health departments underestimate the true burden of the diseases. Salmonella typhimurium infection commonly results in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, nausea and vomiting. The bacteria transmitted via ingestion, usually of food contaminated by the feces of an infected person or animal. The incubation period of Salmonella can range between 6 to 72 hours, but is more commonly between 12 to 36 hours. There have also been instances of longer incubation period of up to 16 days (Heymann, 2008; Amalie et al., 2009). Most of studies depicted that the isolates of S. typhimurium harboring various resistance genes with broad spectrum drug resistance including resistance of fluoroquinolones through chromosomal mutation as a major cause of concern (Threlfall, 2005; Pillai and Prakash, 1993). Further rapid differentiation of salmonella isolates is often required in outbreak situations to identify additional cases and for source tracking. A variety of genotyping methods have been used for this purpose including plasmid profiling, ribotyping, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and pulse field gel electrophoresis (Best et al., 2007; Vicki et al., 2009). A recent developed DNA fingerprinting technique, multiple locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) has become very useful for this purpose. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based technique have good discriminatory power between the strains of S. typhimurium. This strain variations and characterization is based on the differences in amplified DNA fragments at various loci in the salmonella genome, due to varying numbers of short sequenced DNA tandem repeats (VNTR) at these sites (Vicki et al., 2009). Salmonella transmission to food processing plants and food production equipment is a serious public health issue. Salmonella can enter the food chain at any point; crop, farm, livestock feed, food manufacturing, processing and retailing (Wong et al., 2002). A number of workers handle animals during slaughter and processing and contamination is possible when Salmonella or any other pathogen is present on the equipment or the workers hands or clothings (Steffi et al., 2012). Contamination most often occurs during explicit slaughter changes including bleeding, skinning, evisceration and preprocessing carcass handling. These factors contribute toward outbreaks of salmonella infections. Raw fruits and vegetables contaminated during slicing have been implicated in several food borne outbreaks, as have foods contaminated by food handlers who did not adhere to proper hygienic standards and practice proper hand washing techniques (Albreiki et al., 2004; Jegadeeshkumar et al., 2010; Steffi et al., 2012). In this study area there is no previous outbreak observed related to Salmonella infection among the hotel workers. In India, the working time for hotel workers is not determined properly due to the less salary packages, the hotel workers may continue the work even they have symptoms of Salmonella infection. According to the Salmonella carriers status this is the first work in this area on to check the prone infections status (carter) among the hotel workers. The prone persons could be responsible for infection spreading. Materials and Methods Epidemiological examination Initial interviews with cases and control of the subjects included in this study were conducted to allow the generation of hypothesis and to guide further investigations. All the subjects included were interviewed using the standard questionnaire investigating exposures in the 7 days prior to onset of illness (Amalie et al., 2009). This led to the hypothesis that the outbreak was linked to a local restaurant, affecting those who attended for breakfast and dinner. To test this hypothesis, a case control study was developed based upon the restaurant s breakfast and dinner menu. Before the study started, case was defined as any person who ate at the restaurants during April 2012 and developed symptoms of gastroenteritis defines as two or more gastrointestinal symptoms, later it was revised as any person who ate breakfast and dinner during the period of 27 th April and 17 may 2012 and who developed symptoms of gastroenteritis after exposure. Probable cases were those met this definition and confirmed cases were those who met the definition and had a fecal culture positive to Salmonella. Controls were selected via convenience sampling resulted in the recruitment of 6 controls. Data were analyzed using odds rations and stratification to remove the effects of confounding between some menu items. Case control analysis and stratification were performed using Stata 9. Environmental examination General hygiene practices, food storage, preparation procedures and refrigerator condition were examined. Samples of sambar, coconut chutney, onion chutney, kurma, coconut milk and idly were taken from the restaurant and street side hotels for microbiological testing. The samples were transferred to Microbiology laboratory under aseptic procedures and it was processed immediately without storage. Laboratory examination Sample Collection The study setting was various hotels and road side restaurants in Thanjavur district in Tamilnadu, India. Samples were collected from total of 2 hotels and 8 road side open restaurants in Thanjavur in small wide mouthed sterile containers from the hotel workers and the possibility was 16 only. Before collection of the sample the surface was sterilized by distilled water for preventing the entry of contaminants. The collected samples are processed as soon as possible. Labeling plays a vital role, so the sterile containers should have appropriate label with name, date of collection and age (Steffi et al., 2012). Processing of finger swab and nail cuts A total number of 22 finger swabs and nail cuts were collected and assessed bacteriologically. Sterile cotton swabs was prepared and dipped in saline and dispensed into screw cap tubes. Using the swab finger scrapings and nail cuts were collected from each hotel workers and it was aseptically swabbed on appropriate media like DCA, Hektoen enteric agar and MacConkey agar and kept it for incubation and colonies were observed after 2 to 3 days. From the colonies gram staining and motility test was prepared and observed and further confirmation of Salmonella biochemical tests was performed. Results and Discussion Total of 24 cases were indentified after consuming food at the restaurants. Among them, 22 subsequently agreed to participate in the case control study. The age of cases

other combinations were not adjusted. The possibility that the coconut chutney and kurma may have been the vehicle of infection was raised during the initial examination of the street side hotels and restaurants. The proper supervision and advices gave the hotel owners regarding the dangers of serving coconut chutney that prepared long back and request them to serve freshly prepared to reduce the risk. The process involving the preparation of storage of kurma (rich in coconut) was identified as a possible problem. The storage in the low temperature is also advisable; however this varies depending on customer predilection. Information from the cook advised that they had investigated microbiologically, may have been responsible for the contamination. Table.1 Univariate analysis of breakfast menu included in this study Table.2 Stratification analysis Figure.1 Results of S. typhimurium isolates among the samples included During interview, we got the information that they are provided with leave even they are sick. However the health officials must take some necessary action to overcome this issue. Among the 22 samples included for finger swab and nail cuts, the culture showed positive to 16 (72.7%) and 17 (77.2%) respectively. In the Hektoen enteric agar, bluish-green with black centre colonies found and this agar medium is designed for the detection of S. typhimurium (Rosenberger et al., 2000). Fecal samples taken from symptomatic diners yielded a total of 14 (87.5%) positive results for S. typhimurium, with 2 (12.5%) persons found to be negative. The 8 and 4 samples of coconut chutney and kurma were found to have a pH range of 5.12 and 5.16 respectively and showed culture positive to S. typhimurium. Among the 8 coconut chutney samples included, 6 (75%) showed culture positive, whereas 3 (75%) showed positive to kurma included (Figure 1). Salmonella was not isolated from any of the swabs taken from plates and spoons. The possible reason is the plates and spoons were dipped and cleaned with hot water. The results from the epidemiological investigation suggest that the most likely cause of this outbreak was contaminated coconut chutney and kurma served in the road side hotels and restaurants. This type of infection is most commonly associated with S. typhimurium and is not endemic. The odds ratios for both the coconut chutney and kurma were extremely high, indicating a strong association. The strength of the association remained following adjustment for the possible confounding. However the two items are usually served and could not be separated with stratification. Though the two items could not be statistically separated, the environmental investigation suggested that the coconut chutney provided a more plausible explanation for the infection. With the emergence of high level ciprofloxacin resistance and potential horizontal transfer it has necessary to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration for preventing therapeutic failure. Empirical therapy of ciprofloxacin should be discouraged. One of the major limitations of this study was the small sample size and disproportionate numbers of cases to controls. This may be affected the results leading to an erroneous exclusion of other foods possible sources of the infection. However, this would seem less likely given the supporting environmental evidence and higher attack rates among persons eating coconut chutney and kurma. An illness between illness and consumption of coconut chutney was strong enough to be detected in this group of consumers. As mentioned previously, there is strong evidence of confounding in these results. This investigation concluded the most likely cause of this study was consumption of uncooked coconut chutney putatively contaminated with Salmonella. This showed that the restaurant people have to serve freshly prepared coconut chutney (not the stored of late prepared one). This self limited action may have averted future infections, as well as increased general awareness about appropriate procedures for the distribution of such routinely consumed food materials. The incident also led to improvements in hygiene and food storage procedures at the hotels and restaurants and serves to highlight the need for further education of food handlers in relation to the preparation of the plates, spoons, etc. This demonstrates the importance of the exemplary hygiene and food storage practices in hotel and restaurant settings as a means of reducing the risk of food related salmonellosis (Amalie et al., 2009; Roberts et al., 2009; Mitchell et al., 1989). In addition to highlighting the importance of effective hygiene measures within commercial kitchen settings in India, this also suggests the need for the more stringent regulation for the food preparation. Health authorities should also consider prohibiting commercial outlets servings for the reduction of the risk to the public of Salmonella infection.

Location-Based Services for Mobile Telephony: a study of users' privacy concerns Louise Barkhuus & Anind Dey The IT University of Copenhagen Glentevej 67, 2400 Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] Intel Research, Berkeley 2150 Shattuck Avenue, Suite 1300 Berkeley, CA, USA [email protected] Abstract: Context-aware computing often involves tracking peoples' location. Many studies and applications highlight the importance of keeping people's location information private. We discuss two types of locationbased services; location-tracking services that are based on other parties tracking the user's location and position-aware services that rely on the device's knowledge of its own location. We present an experimental case study that examines people's concern for location privacy and compare this to the use of location-based services. We find that even though the perceived usefulness of the two different types of services is the same, locationtracking services generate more concern for privacy than posit ion-aware services. We conclude that development emphasis should be given to position-aware services but that location-tracking services have a potential for success if users are given a simple option for turning the location-tracking off. Keywords: Location-based services, context -aware computing, mobile telephony, human-computer interaction 1 Introduction Context-aware computing describes applications, often implemented for mobile devices that adapt to environmental sensor information. Many of these applications rely solely on location information as their context and although some researchers claim that too much attention is given to this type of sensor information (Schmidt et al., 1999), it is predicted that location-based services will be the most common form of context -aware computing (Ljungstrand, 2001). As mobile telephony becomes increasingly common as a handheld computing platform, location-tracking of mobile phones enables location-based services to spread outside closed environments. Location-tracking of customers by mobile telephony providers via GSM and later GPSenabled services generates a need for addressing privacy issues in relation to the building of locationbased technologies and services. We distinguish between two types of location-based services: location-tracking and position-aware (Snekkenes, 2001). Location-tracking services are services relying on the tracking of peoples' location by other parties such as mobile telephony service providers, whereas position-aware services are bas ed on the device's own knowledge of its position. Examples of the two services include locating friends or family members and updating the time when entering a new time zone, respectively. By studying peoples' concern for and use of location-based services, it is our goal to provide insight about the degree to which locationbased services are considered to be intrusive on users' privacy and whether location-tracking or position-aware services generate more concern. We present a case study that examines peoples' concern for location privacy in relation to locationbased services. We presented each study participant with four hypothetical location-based features (two location-tracking and two position-aware services) for their mobile phone, and studied their preferences and concerns as well as their expected use of the services. By comparing the findings, we found that people are positive towards the location-based services as long as they perceive them to be useful. We also found that location-tracking services generate more concern than position-based ones. We first present related work in the area of privacy and location-tracking. Second we present our study and its design and third, we present the results of the study. Finally we discuss these results and conclude that development emphasis should be given to position-aware services and that locationtracking features should be implemented giving the user control over who can track their location. Finally we give suggestions for further research. 2 Related Work Research within location-tracking in indoor environments has been conducted for over a decade. Early work such as the Active Location Badge system (Want et al., 1992) uses infra-red technology but other sensor technologies have been explored as well (Hazas and Ward, 2002). Because we propose location-based services limited to mobile phones, however, the related work falls in the category of outdoor location-tracking using GSM and GPS technologies. This approach generates a different set of privacy issues, since it is likely that people have different concerns about being tracked by, for example, their service provider than their employer. 2.1 Location-Based Services The research focusing on location-based services is vast and a number of these services have been implemented and tested; for example the Guide project (Cheverst et al., 2000) and Cyber Guide (Abowd et al., 1997). Most of these applications use the position-aware approach, meaning that an application's actions are based on its knowledge of its own position. Location-tracking services, such as safety-based ones, for children or the elderly, have been developed (Marmasse and Schmandt, 2003). Applications outside the research lab include 'friend finder' services, which some mobile phone service providers offer (AT&T, 2003). 2.2 Privacy and Location According to much of the research in location-based computing, privacy is an essential issue (Snekkenes, 2001; Bisdikian et al., 2001), and the subject is often addressed in terms of how sensitive information is kept secured in the application. Privacy is a general concern, also for stationary application such as webbased applications, and studies focusing on keeping sensitive information safe are numerous. In this type of research, most often identity is at the core of privacy studies (Langheinrich, 2002). Identity has several aspects to it and we consider a person's position to be a specific attribute of identity, like full name and social security number. The major difference between location and most other a ttributes is that location changes continually and is mostly relevant to mobile computing. Where much research focuses on technology that ensures the user a high level of privacy, there is a lack of studies that really examine the underlying need for privacy. Most studies base their research on the common notion that a high degree of privacy is essential to the users, but few present research confirming this. The next section briefly looks into the most relevant studies of user behaviour and concern for privacy. 2.3 User Related Studies Although some studies of users' privacy and identification preferences exist, none of them focus solely on concerns about location-tracking or positioning. One study examines people's attitude to online privacy; the focus is on how comfortable they are in revealing identity information to known or unknown parties (Ackerman et al., 1999). The study find that their concern for privacy depends on what types of information they are asked to give up, but also on the application's usefulness to the user. Another study compares general privacy concerns in different situations to the inquirer of the information and finds that inquirer is a greater determinant for what people want to reveal, than situation (Lederer et al., 2002). The study most relevant to our notion of location privacy, focuses on the social act of rendezvousing and finds that for example 'friend finder' features will potentially enhance people's everyday tasks (Colbert, 2001). The study also indicates how participants were overly positive about giving up their location information to a fairly large group of pre-selected individuals, not unlike our findings. Finally the study calls for research into users' perceived usefulness in exchange for giving up their position, which is the focus of this study. The limited number of studies of actual concern for location privacy means that, while privacy issues are considered essential to location-tracking, it needs to be determined how great a concern, locationbased services actually are. We now present the study we conducted with the goal of determining peoples' expected use and concerns about privacy with respect to location-based services. 3 Research Method Our study was conducted as an experimental case study where 16 participants are given a 5-day journal in which they answer pre-specified questions about the usefulness and level of concern in using presented location-based services. A subset of the participants was interviewed after completing the journal to elaborate on their entries. Because it was not possible to implement all the proposed locationbased services, the study asks participants to 'imagine' the existence of the services. The services are outlined in table 1; note that services A and B are position-aware and servic es C and D are locationtracking based. At the end of each day, our study participants reported how many times they would have used the service and to what degree it would have been useful to them. Both variables were measured on a Likert scale from 1 to 5. They also reported whether they found the tracking of their location intrusive. The journal also gave them the option to elaborate on their ratings, which most of the participants took advantage of. In addition, 5 of the participants were interviewed to elaborate on their concerns about location privacy. Table 1: Location-Based Services. 3.1 Participants The 16 participants were found among young mobile phone owners and both students and non-students were selected. Ages ranged between 19 and 35 with a mean of 23.7. The number of years the participants had owned a mobile phone varied from 6 months to 6 years with an average of 2.6 years. 4 Perceived Usefulness of Services The participants' perceived usefulness of services was measured by having

An overview on Production and Consumption of Chicken Meat in India S. Moghana Lavanya *, N. Kiruthika S. Senthilnathan, M. Prahadeeswaran, and S. Gurunathan Centre for Agricultural and Rural Development Studies (CARDS). Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore – 641003 ARTICLE ID: 004 Introduction Agriculture is the predominant occupation for more than 60 percent of the Indian population. Livestock sector plays an important role in promoting the socio-economic development and nutritional security of rural households. Poultry is one of the important components of livestock and provides large-scale employment in India. The total number of poultry has increased by 16.81% and the total poultry availability in the country is 851.81 million in 2019 (20th Livestock Census). Meat is an important source of nutrition. The production and consumption of meat were found to be increasing. Poultry meat was found to be the primary driver of meat production growth throughout the world. India's consumption of poultry meat was over 3.9 million metric tonnes in 2020 (USDA report). Demand for protein-rich food, combined with improved consumer purchasing power has increased poultry meat consumption. Production and Consumption of Poultry Meat India is the third-largest producer of broiler meat in the world. India's per capita consumption of chicken meat is estimated at around 3.1 kg per year, which is low when compared to the world average of around 17 kg per year. The details of the production of poultry meat are given in Table 1 Table 1 Production of Poultry Meat in India (2020) 1 Page (Source: The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority, Agriexchange-2020) It could be observed from Table 1 that Maharashtra was the leading producer of chicken meat (632.32 hundred metric tonnes) in 2020 with a percentage share of (15.57 percent) followed by Haryana (478.63 hundred metric tonnes) with a percentage share of (11.78 percent). West Bengal (475.42 hundred metric tonnes) and Tamil Nadu (467.51 hundred metric tonnes) are in third and fourth position with a percentage share of 11.70 percent and 11.61 percent respectively. Table 2 Consumption of Poultry Meat in India from 2013 to 2021 (Source: Food and Agricultural Organization, Statistics-March 2021) It could be inferred from Table 2 that the total poultry meat consumption in India was (4,107.00 thousand metric tonnes) in the year 2021. When compared with previous years, the total consumption of poultry meat increased every year from 2013 to 2021.

Federal Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) carry out the duties of protecting the flying public at the majority of U.S. airports. Only 22 of 435 commercial airports have private screeners under the Screening Partnership Program. Congress should stop the expansion of the Screening Partnership Program (SPP) at TSA. TSOs are federal employees who take an oath to protect the flying public and are part of the framework of federal employees serving on the frontlines of security. The profit motive of private screening contractors has no place in aviation security. Aviation security should not be held hostage to contract failures or disputes. TSA transferred TSOs from busy major airports in Orlando, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale to screen passengers at Punta Gorda International Airport due to the failure of two private screening companies to protect the public because of a contract dispute. In 2015 4 Montana airports withdrew from the Screening Partnership Program because private security contractors could not fulfill their contract requirements. TSA transferred TSOs from federal airports and flew in its National Deployment Force to provide screening at the 4 airports. Congress should require accountability from private screening companies. Information regarding security breaches, covert testing failures and attrition rates at airports at TSA airports is made available to the public. The SPP allows private screening companies to use their contracts as a shield against transparency. Congress should pass legislation similar to the Contract Screener Reform Act that requires: * Robust Congressional Oversight; * Reporting of private screening security breaches, covert testing failures, and attrition rates made available to the public; and * Prohibition of foreign ownership of private screening companies. Congress should prioritize full funding of the federal TSO workforce. Ongoing TSO shortages at airports creates potentially dangerous gaps in the aviation security framework. TSA failed to increase its TSO workforce to keep up with annual increases in air travel. TSOs are among the lowest paid of the U.S. security forces. TSA should invest its funding in the federal workforce that serves the majority of the flying

This EIS is being prepared as part of the process that occurs under the National Environmental Policy Act for major federal actions that could have a significant impact on the environment. And Western Area Power Administration and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service are the two lead agencies for this particular environmental impact statement, and they've determined that a programmatic EIS is the appropriate tool or document to prepare in this case to evaluate establishing specific programs and policies related to wind energy development within the Upper Great Plains Region. And we'll get into a few more details about exactly what the proposed action is in a few moments. One of the first questions we should probably address is, what is a programmatic EIS? And a programmatic EIS is intended to evaluate the environmental impacts that may occur as the result of implementing NEAL R. GROSS (202) 234-4433 COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W.

So as such, programmatic EIS's typically look at generic impacts of the actions that are proposed. And in this case, that's related to wind energy development and connection to the energy grid. And we will also address potentially applicable mitigation measures. Now, one of the things that a programmatic EIS is not intended to do is evaluate the environmental impacts from specific development projects. Okay? There would be a separate process that would do that. This EIS is intended to help streamline the process that other specific development actions would go through. So what is the proposed action in this particular case? Western and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are interested in establishing a comprehensive environmental program for evaluating proposed wind energy NEAL R. GROSS (202) 234-4433 COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 impacts that would result from connection to Western's transmission system or that would be placed on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland or grassland easements within the Upper Great Plains Region. Now, one of the intents of the proposed action is that we would identify, or that the agencies would identify mitigation strategies, standard construction practices and best management practices that could be used to reduce the potential environmental impacts from those development activities. One of the things that's typically done or should be done for environmental impact statements is to evaluate alternatives. And in this case, at least three alternatives will be considered. First, the proposed action that I just described, which is the development of a comprehensive program for wind energy development by the two agencies. Second, a no-action alternative would be evaluated. NEAL R. GROSS (202) 234-4433 COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Now, keep in mind "no action" doesn't necessarily mean that no wind energy would occur within either -- that would connect to Western's transmission grid or that would occur on wetland or grassland easements. It simply means that the existing situation would continue to occur. And you'll hear more description about that tonight, but right now, in a very general sense, the existing situation is that proposals for connecting to the energy grid or proposals to develop wind energy projects on wetland or grassland easements are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. So a full NEPA evaluation is done for each of those particular projects. Another alternative that's being considered at this point is that Western's portion of the proposed action, which is related to connection to the transmission grid, would go forward; however, the Service may determine that they would not allow NEAL R.

Now, as part of this scoping process that we're doing right now and that this meeting is intended to be part of, other alternatives may also be identified that would be evaluated in the programmatic environmental impact statement. So that brings us to the question about what is scoping? And basically, scoping is the first phase of public involvement that occurs in an environmental impact statement. It's a part of the process where the agencies intend to gather information from the public and other organizations related to the proposed action, which alternatives should be considered in the impact statement, what are some of the significant issues that need to be analyzed in that programmatic environmental impact statement, perhaps information about data that are available that could be used to help us conduct the analyses related to what the NEAL R.

So this is a chance for the public and those organizations to provide feedback to the agencies about the things that they're interested in having evaluated in the impact statement. Now, this is only one of the public opportunities for involvement in this programmatic EIS that will occur. As you can see on this slide, public scoping began on September 11. And we will continue to solicit public comments, or scoping comments, through November 10 of 2008. Now, sometime during the fall or the winter of 2009, the draft EIS should be -will be available for review by the public and by other agencies or organizations that

As a farmer, landowner and grandparent of children that will be attending South Prairie School I have seen the economic benefits of these two existing wind towers and look forward to the proposed wind farm south of Minot. Having farmed all my life, I support wind as an alternative source of energy to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Continued development of wind generation in this region will make our nation one step closer to achieving our goal of clean energy. Thank you. MR. HAYSE: Thank you.

Our business model has landowners -- local landowners investing in our project, and we also give landowners who sign their wind rights with us a chance to use that money to buy units of ownership in the local L.L.C. that is Dakota Wind Energy in South Dakota. So we have heavy landowner investment in our project, both financially and with their land rights or wind rights. And many of those -- a large majority of those have chosen to invest in the project that they are hoping to see wind towers operating on their land. To date we have about 57,000 acres in this signed up and under site control in this project. We're hoping to have at least 64,000 which we're close to and as much as 75,000 acres in route to housing a 750 MW project in that area. NEAL R.

We seek to be cooperative. We know that you have important work; you have missions to carry out. We have mutual goals, I believe, in trying to accomplish both development of wind energy and protecting habitats. So when I see -- I guess a concern that arose when I began looking at the data, the drawings and such that were prepared for this scoping meeting, the whooping crane flyway caused me to be a little concerned about how vague that flyway was. I'm hoping that that is an issue that can be overcome quickly if we can be determined to be outside that flyway.

ORAL HISTORY 2 TRANSCRIPT I G LYNN S. L UNNEY H NTERVIEWED BY C AROL B UTLER OUSTON , T EXAS – 28 J ANUARY 1999 UTLER B : Today is January 28, 1999. This oral history is with Glynn Lunney at the offices of the Signal Corporation in Houston, Texas. The interview is being conducted for the Johnson Space Center Oral History Project by Carol Butler, assisted by Summer Chick Bergen and Kevin Rusnak. Thank you, Mr. Lunney for joining us today. UNNEY L: You're welcome. UTLER B : To begin with, let's go back to when you first became involved with the space program and the Space Task Group. What were your initial duties? UNNEY L: We were at the Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and the month that I got out of college, in June of '58, this drawing crossed my desk of what became the Mercury capsule. Caldwell [C.] Johnson made the drawing. I said, "Wow! That looks like a lot of fun." The group that I was in was involved in doing kind of high-speed reentry research for different shapes of reentry vehicles and what kind of heat transfer, aerodynamics they would experience. It turned out the group at Langley that started the Mercury Project—it didn't have that name in the beginning—was in the same field. They did it a different way, but they were in kind of the same area of research. So we began to consult with them about all the aspects of it, but the people in our group started off—and I wasn't there long enough to have any real technical ability in the heat transfer and thermodynamics and so on, but a number of 13-1 the people did. So they were involved in helping with the design of the vehicle so that it would survive reentry. I got involved in the trajectory aspects of it in terms of the launch phase and what that was like and how we could monitor the launch phase and how we could begin to control the landing points so that we didn't have recovery forces everywhere, so that we could begin to focus our recovery efforts in a few places. Then I worked on the orbital mechanics and the reentry dynamics. The only real maneuvering we had to do with the Mercury spacecraft was to fire the retro rockets to come back down. So I got involved in analyticals, computer-based studies of all that in a time when you didn't do it at your desk. You did in a way, but you submitted your data cards to a central computing system somewhere, and people punched them all up and ran the computer, and then you would get your results three or four or five days later, and then you'd have to remember what it is you were trying to figure out when you did that and so on. I got involved in, really, I guess I would say, the orbital mechanics and the launch phase and reentry aspects of the vehicle, and that evolved into what we needed to have in the Control Center in order to monitor those parts of the flight, in order to control the retrofire, the retrorockets, and to monitor both the entry and the launch phases. BUTLER: In the Control Center, as you were moving into the actual missions—because I know in your earlier interview you did talk about some of the build-up to the missions, a couple of them, but what did you specifically do in the Control Center once the mission started, both unmanned and manned? LUNNEY: Well, I was actually in a couple of different Control Centers. Early on, I was at the Bermuda station. Bermuda is 800 miles or so out in the ocean away from Florida, where we launched them, and the place where the vehicle went into orbit was about halfway in between, and the situation was that the radar and the tracking were all sort of at the tail end from the Cape [Canaveral, Florida] but just beginning for Bermuda and just picking up. So we felt that Bermuda would be a good location to help with the confirmation that the vehicle was really in orbit. Being in orbit is a small difference in velocity from not being in orbit, probably 100 or so feet a second, say 60, 70, 80 miles an hour, perhaps, is the only difference between being in orbit and being shy of orbit and coming back in. And since this was at the very horizon from the Cape and going out of sight, there was some question about how well we could know whether the vehicle was in orbit or not. So I started off as a flight dynamics officer at the Control Center in Bermuda, and I was there for a number of the flights, both unmanned and manned. Then I moved into what was called the Mercury Control Center in Florida, where I was a flight dynamics officer, and I was a flight dynamics officer for three flights, I guess: MA-7, 8, and 9. And there we had, again, the situation with the launch phase monitoring, being sure that the vehicle kind of stayed in the nominal trajectory and didn't go out, and, if it did, what kind of an abort procedure should we have. We were involved in being sure that it was in orbit properly, calculating the orbits from the tracking all around the world, and then figuring out what our various retrofire times would be for our primary landing site but for a whole bunch of contingency landing sites. We had probably a de-orbit opportunity once or twice a revolution around the Earth. In those days, we were not all that sure that we were— you know, once up there, we didn't know how long we were going to stay up there. So there was a lot of planning for something going wrong and having to exercise a secondary abort or a recovery area, even from orbit. So we had to do all that kind of stuff during the orbit phases. Then, of course, we were involved in the calculation of the final de-orbit time and hopefully tried to predict the landing point as best we could, and we always had a race to see how close we could come to the carrier. Sometimes we did, sometimes we didn't. But those were the kind of things that we were working on, and the work was really similar for me in the Bermuda Control Center and then, of course, at the Mercury Control Center at the Cape. UTLER B : You mentioned all the calculations as they were in orbit and knowing all the details as to where and when, but you also mentioned earlier that for some of the trajectory calculations you were doing, you would have to send things out and wait for a couple of days to get results back. UNNEY L : Oh, yes. That was in the office environment. Yes. It improved a lot when we got a Control Center. Then you could get things run in relatively real time and know where things stood and know what you had to do. BUTLER : So you could do it all right there where you guys were. LUNNEY : Right there. UTLER B : This will be a little bit of a jump, but I don't want to, again, cover too much that was in your earlier interview. In the missions, as you began, you had talked about training in your earlier interviews and how a lot of what you had to do—you put together these tapes, and sometimes they matched what happened and sometimes didn't in the training. LUNNEY : What people did, yes. 28 January 1999 13-4 BUTLER: With that training, could you go into a little more details on what you would do there, the control team, but also working with the astronauts and maybe even some of the engineering teams to try and help—did you work together to try and build those training, or— LUNNEY: Actually, the people in the training—and I was in that for a while, early on, before the Control Center really got to rolling—they tried to anticipate what difficult problems would be for the flight team, and, in general, the simulation people did not expose those ahead of time to the team. They were always a surprise. In other words, it was sort of classified of sorts, but we always tried to have cases run where the team that was going to then have to solve it did not have any idea of what the case was going to be, so that they would have to respond to it in all of its dimensions and think their way through it and then take whatever action was appropriate—sometimes none was—but whatever action was appropriate in order to come to the best outcome for the given set of circumstances that we put in front of people. So we didn't do a lot of consulting with people in the sense of revealing our hand or revealing what the case was going to be but, rather, back then and even through till today, the simulation people take great delight in trying to find cracks in the defenses, if you

Johnson Space Center Oral History Project ERGEN B: Yes, I have a couple of questions. The first is, you mentioned that the Space Task Group mainly had a NACA state of mind, basically, which, from my understanding, is more pure research than— UNNEY L: Right. ERGEN B : So how difficult was it to make that transition from that research state of mind to a functioning program or work crew? UNNEY L : That's a good question. I don't know. I guess I'd have to say that it was made just because of the talents of the people involved. I don't know that there was anything, other than having to do it, that was forcing it, but probably the people at Langley thought Bob Gilruth might be crazy—really, I'm serious—for getting involved in this, because, looking back on it, it looks one way, but looking at it from the beginning's end, this could have just been a flier idea that wasn't going to go anywhere or could have ruined a lot of reputations in failing and so on. And probably a number of his colleagues thought Dr. Gilruth might have been putting it all at risk to do such a thing. Some of the other people who came, Chris Kraft and, I believe, Chuck Mathews—I'm not sure of Chuck, but I am of Chris—had been involved in flight test work at Langley. Chris was involved in flight control systems for the F-8Crusader . As a matter of fact, the airplane that John Glenn few across country and made the talk show, whatever it was, was sort of one of John's opening rounds at being famous. But Chris had worked on the control system for that, and I believe had interacted with the people at Patuxent [Naval] Test Center up in Maryland, where the Navy tests airplanes. Chuck Mathews was, I think, involved in flight tests, too, although I'm not as sure of that. 28 January 1999 13-59 Max, of course, was always—Max Faget was always in the conceptual design kind of business, did some of the early work on entry vehicles that I believe affected the way the United States chose to design weapon reentry systems early on, and then, of course, had a big influence on the Mercury and Apollo spacecraft and the Shuttle system, too, for that matter. So they just had a unique mix of—I'm beginning to see this thing in terms like this, and this may be true of a lot of places in the world, but like in America, it's sort of like America has this problem and this need, and kind of the whistle gets blown, and out of somewhere come some people who turn out to be very nicely matched in terms of talent and skills to respond to this problem or need or call that the country has, and there they are. I mean, you look at them after a while and say, "These guys are perfect for this job." I watched Dr. Gilruth, Chris, and George Low. I couldn't imagine anybody pulling off what was done here in this Center in that program in any better fashion than those guys did. I mean, I just can't imagine it. It perhaps could have been done better, I don't know, but I'll tell you, it was inspiring to me as a young fellow to watch all this go on, but we had the greatest leadership before leadership was even a consultant management guru kind of a word. We had it in spades. There it was, right in front of us every day. But America had a call and a need, and out came these folks, and they're absolutely perfect for the job. BERGEN : And you got it done. LUNNEY : Got it done. ERGEN B : My second question relates to Gemini. You talked about it being a learning phase, and it seemed like every mission accomplished so much more built on the mission before, but yet it took four missions at the end of Gemini for you to get a handle on EVA. Why do you think it took so long to grasp the complex things of EVA? 28 January 1999 LUNNEY: I guess I haven't thought much about why it took so long, but it sure did. On the other hand, the problems we had on Gemini IX were like in May, and Gemini XII, when we think we had it figured out, was like in October or November. So it was a six-month period that the real trigger of the fact that we had a real problem response and then closure on a solution occurred over about a half a year. So, in those terms, that wasn't a long period of time, and the flights were coming six or eight weeks apart. So it was difficult to take a lot of lessons from one flight and get them in place. For example, the idea of the swimming pool, which, I believe, got really implemented fully on Gemini XII, I don't know where that came along, but just having an idea of it and then being able to get it in place and get the crews trained and take some advantage of it, etc., is just going to take some physical amount of time measured in at least weeks or perhaps a month or two or three. It did seem to take us a while in terms of the sequence of flights, the four flights. In terms of time, it wasn't that long a period of time as these things go. But why it took that long, I'm not sure I could tell you. I'm not sure I could tell you. BUTLER: As we wind up for the day, is there anything that you can think of from the early part of your career that we didn't cover? LUNNEY: Well, you asked about the Avro contingent. And it's a good thing which we spent a lot of time on the Gemini Program. This is not the kind of forum where going over the stories of what various people did at various times is appropriate, but there's some wonderful characters involved in this whole thing who contributed in different kind of ways, but the force of their characters contributed to a lot of this in different ways, and sometimes it was funny. A lot of times it was work and solid and good, and sometimes it was funny, and sometimes we probably did dumb things. We were learning a lot. We assembled a group of people, at least on the ground, to do this that was not done the way we selected astronauts. When we selected astronauts, we went out and got the best pilots America had to offer, screened them all down through a million tests and got the bunches that we got. In the case of the people who did the work, for example, the people who did the work in the Control Center and the people who did other things, I mean, they showed up. There was this thing going on, and I was there very early, but after that, people showed up. They heard about this and it sounded exciting to them, and they showed up. So the only screening that was done was sort of like a sort of a self-screening thing where people almost volunteer, or they're motivated to come do something, the success of which was far from assured. At the beginning, nobody would have guessed—I don't think anybody would stand around projecting how this thing was going to turn out. I don't think we would have been able to do that. So people showed up, in effect, kind of volunteered. It sounded like a lot of fun, and I guess as a result of that, we got people who wanted to do this work. As I said about my branch, people came to it with different levels of skills and talents, but they all came to it with, I would say, about the same desire and the same attitude, and that turned out to be a pretty significant factor in how well they did their job; that is, attitude overcame in some cases not being as skillful as some people at other things. Attitude carried. But there are a zillion stories about the people involved that happened and antics of sorts that went into it, but it was a great team of people. It was a real pleasure, a real honor, to be part of it. A real honor to be part of it. As a matter of fact, it's interesting to do something like this and think about it thirty years later, reflect on it thirty years later. In some ways it reminds me of how long ago it was, and yet in other ways it was just yesterday. There's still a real comradeship amongst the people who recognize themselves as being contributors and players in that time frame, and there's a lot of satisfaction, a lot of reward in it. I feel good about it. I feel good about it. America called, and a lot of us answered, and mostly we got the answers right. BUTLER : It certainly turned out very well. I want to thank you for joining us today. LUNNEY : You're welcome. [End of Interview]

1944-2012 SIXTYEIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT AND STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2012 PATRONS: the Mayors of Auckland, Waitakere, North Shore & Manukau Cities CHAIRMAN: Jennifer Paynter DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Mary Martin SECRETARY / TREASURER: Bette Swan HON. SOLICITOR: Anthony Segedin AUDITOR: Jocelyn Dutton BANKERS: Bank of New Zealand, ASB Bank LIFE MEMBERS: Mrs D J Savage, Dr W H Johnston MEMBERS: Dr Adrian Harrison, Graeme McLeod, Cath Lamont, Anthony Segedin, Dr John Kolbe, Brian Cornere, Dr Craig Thornley, Juliet Ireland, Mary Campbell, Dr Cathy Pikholz, Mrs Barbara Fahy, Dr Lesley Voss, Dr Martin Reeve, Jill Miller, Roy Adams, Meg Goodman, Lorraine Faulkner, Dr Tanya McWilliams, Dr Jeff Garrett, Anne Nichols, Victoria Farry, Kathy Smith, Diana Hart, Kirsty Johnson Cox, Mary O'Donnell, Dr Chris Lewis, Sarah Devaliant, Jean Merrington, Julie Park, Judith Littleton, Sue Lockwood, Anne Fraser, Christine Little REGISTERED OFFICE: Greenlane Clinical Centre, Epsom, Auckland P O Box 60606, Titirangi, email: [email protected] TELEPHONE: 630 0051 AFTER HOURS: Secretary, Bette Swan, ph 817 4839 68th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2 August 2012 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT: I wish to thank each one of you for attending the Annual General Meeting today; I know each one of you is busy. I appreciate the time you give to ensuring Lung Health Auckland remains a viable charitable organisation helping so many patients with Respiratory Illnesses. Without this assistance life would be more difficult for them. I believe Lung Health Auckland offers a unique support to these patients. I wish to acknowledge the sacrifice of those who through their fundraising in the past enable us to continue to help others in the present. Once again Lung Health Auckland helped may patients with power, food vouchers, petrol vouchers, taxi chits and rent. For patients admitted into respiratory isolation, top ups for mobile phones and internet access and other items helps to make this period a little more bearable for them. Christmas and Easter goodies were very much appreciated. It always amazes me that the requests for help are managed comfortably within the resources available. This year we have not spent large amounts on equipment for the patients but I am mindful that when Television goes digital we may need to upgrade the Televisions in Ward 7a. Many of our patients live in homes which are not insulated, and too often also have no floor coverings and little or no curtaining. We have helped a number of families with curtaining, either new or second-hand, and with heaters, in order to keep them warmer and so healthier. When we have provided heaters we have also contributed to their power bills over the winter, to ensure that they can afford to run the heaters. We are delighted to be reaching more areas of our health services as more health professionals become aware of us and the ways we can help their respiratory patients. Bette has spoken to the Very High Intensive User (VHIU) team at Middlemore Hospital, and we are now receiving referrals from the VHIU team for help for some of these patients. We have also been able, for the first time, to help patients from the neonatal unit at Starship Hospital. Lung Health continues to successfully operate from Bette's home address, as there is no suitable office alternative, at a reasonable price. This seems to be an effective and economic solution to the office "problem". I wish to thank Bette, Mary and the Public Health Team who organise, pack and deliver the Christmas parcels. They provide a much appreciated help to the households at Christmas. I appreciate that this is done on top of very heavy workloads. Thank you to Julie Ritchie for organising the World TB day this year. Lung Health Auckland proudly supports this function. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch. Unfortunately Assess Trust has not had a distribution of funding this year. Hopefully they will call for eligible recipients in the next 12 months. Martin Edwards from Forsyth Barr has again raised the issue of the legality of the investment committee to manage the financial portfolio of Lung Health Auckland. The committee acknowledges the knowledge and expertise of the members and has brought this for discussion and direction. Roy Adams, Graeme McLeod and Anthony Segedin continue to generously provide ongoing legal and financial advice. Your expertise in these areas is very much appreciated. I would like to remind each of you that if you come across patients in need to refer to Bette or myself; money is available to assist patients with respiratory illnesses. I wish to sincerely thank the following people for their ongoing support of Lung Health Auckland. The executive committee - Bette Swan and Mary Martin Martin Edwards from Forsyth Barr for advice regarding Lung Health Auckland's investment portfolio. To all the Public Health Nurses who assist many of the TB patients to clinic appointments,

Assessment of Energy Sector Reforms: Case Studies from Latin America Authors: Roberto Kozulj and Nicolas Di Sbroiavacca, IDEE/FB, Argentina Abstract This article discusses three main issues. The first is the particular nature of poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean (LA&C) related to the growing importance of the urban poor. The second is the difficulty of analyzing the direct impact of energy reforms on the poor because most of the indicators studied could easily measure the impacts of phenomena other than those directly brought about by the reforms. The third is the reforms’ indirect impact on poverty, which results from many of them having been carried out through macroeconomic schemes that caused local currencies to appreciate significantly. This monetary change undermined the productive system and increased foreign indebtedness and structural unemployment in the countries, leading to an increase in poverty. 1 1. Introduction This article is based on the results from Phase I of the project Energy Access: Assessment of energy reform--case studies for Latin America and the Caribbean (LA&C) [Kozulj, et al., 2003a] within the framework of the Global Network on Energy and Sustainable Development (GNSED). The research reported here analyzes the direct and indirect impacts of reforms in the Argentinean, Peruvian, and Salvadoran electricity sectors. The methodological guidelines agreed upon by the global project [Karekezi, 2003] proposed five indicators of the impact of reforms, and grouped these indicators under two headings: Access and Affordability. Three indicators were proposed for evaluating access to energy: a) national electrification levels, b) national electrification rates, and c) electricity consumption per capita. Affordability was to be measured by a) electricity tariffs and b) household electricity expenditures as a percentage of total household income. The methodological guidelines, which were intended to facilitate the comparability of the varied cases analyzed by the research centers in the different regions, suggested that the indicators be evaluated for both poor and non-poor users. Our research revealed some limitations to these indicators. Some of the indicators – which are also suggested in current literature [Foster, 2001; Alexander, 2000] – may not accurately measure the impacts intended, especially the indicators under the Access heading. The rate of new connections and average household consumption levels may reflect behavior that is a consequence of factors completely unrelated to the success or failure of the reforms. For example, if a system is about to reach saturation in a densely urban area, the rate of new connections will necessarily decrease in relation to the past, whether reforms were carried out or not. In addition, a high rate of connections may indicate that users who previously had illegal connections "regularized" their service after the reforms. This is not a sign of increased access. Before the reforms, these users simply had access to the service illegally, without paying. Finally, official data for poor and non-poor users for periods before and after reforms are not available, nor are they recorded by energy distribution companies [Kozulj, 2002]. All of these limitations suggest that these indicators may not accurately reveal the reforms' effects on the access of the poor to electricity service. The indicators listed under the Affordability heading, by contrast, were more effective in our study. The data for these indicators are generally available if we assume that the poor are those whose electricity consumption is low. The results in the three cases analyzed indicate that higher tariffs in absolute and relative terms adversely affected low-consumption users. One of the dominant ideas of the reform was the removal of subsidies and the design of tariffs following the theory of marginal value. This approach – mainly supported by the World Bank – was based on the deficits experienced by the state utilities prior to the reforms due to general and cross subsidies. The deficits led to an inflationary tax that mainly affected the poor, and they also resulted in an inefficient allocation of resources. Nevertheless, as will be demonstrated below, the confusion between the concept of subsidy itself and the notion that a subsidy constitutes considering domestic prices different from border prices had macroeconomic consequences. Energy costs rose higher after reform than they had before. The result was an absolute increase in poverty levels, a rising foreign debt, and a direct negative impact on rates for low-income consumers. Because the incomes earned by the poor did not increase after the reforms, increased electricity charges directly affected family budgets. The dominant philosophy during the 1990s in LA&C concerning subsidies was to regard any price below international levels to constitute a subsidy. The privatization that took place with the reforms aimed at levelling the prices of domestic services with the relevant international prices. In the case of basic prices that determine energy services (e.g., gas and fuel prices), strategies such as income redistribution of natural resources among producers and consumers have been mistaken for subsidies. Production costs, which are the only valid criterion for determining whether there is a real subsidy or not (a subsidy occurs when a product or service is priced below its true production cost), have been completely overlooked [UNEP, 2003]. Because the cost and price structures of domestic economies were sometimes distorted, the levelling of domestic and foreign prices was implemented by overvaluing the local currency, which led to increased poverty, unemployment, and foreign debt levels. It is almost impossible not to relate these macroeconomic mechanisms to the financial success of the reforms and accompanying privatization of energy companies, especially in Argentina. The indirect impact turns out to be more important than the effects measured by the indicators defined by the global project for this study; this article addresses this indirect impact in detail. Our study also notes the particular evolution of urban poverty as a characteristic feature of Latin America. This phenomenon poses a challenge to energy policies that include the goal of energy access for the poor. Although our research addresses the electricity sector in particular, many of its conclusions could apply to the other commercial energy sources consumed by the poor. 2. The importance of energy access and the unique features of poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean Access to clean and efficient energy sources on the part of the poor has been defined as one of the highest political priorities in various world forums and analyses [RISO-UNEP, 2002; WEC, 2000; Kozulj, et al., 2001; Wodon, et al., 2000]. The goal is that approximately 2,000 million inhabitants of developing countries should be able to access energy sources, in a context where around 2,800 million people live on less than 2 dollars a day [Karekezi, 2003; RISO-UNEP, 2002]. It is hoped that this access can be created under desirable economic and environmental conditions that can be maintained over the long term. Many poor people find it difficult to access energy sources, and even when they do, they have difficulty maintaining continuous and regular energy service supply because they lack adequate income and/or stable and well-paid employment. Appropriate subsidy and promotion policies are also lacking. 2.1. The evolution of poverty in LA&C The total number of people living below the poverty line in the year 2000 in LA&C is estimated at 211,4 million (43.8% of the total population), of which 89,4 million people (18.5% of the total population) were destitute [CEPAL, 2001]. The proportion of poor people in urban areas in LA&C in relation to the total population increased significantly during the 1990s as compared with the 1980s. The number of poor people in urban areas in 1980 was 14% lower than the number of poor people in rural areas, but in 1999 the number of urban poor was 74% higher than the number of rural poor [CEPAL, 2001]. In 1980 the urban poor accounted for 46% of the total of poor population in the region; in 1999 that proportion was 63.5% (Figure 1). Source: authors' estimations with ECLAC data, Panorama Social de América Latina 2000-2001, figure 1.3, p. 38. Paradoxically, the investigation of energy and poverty in LA&C has typically focused on the energy problems of the rural poor rather than the problem of access to energy services for the urban poor. This has been partly because, at least in the case of electricity, non-technical losses or energy theft was overlooked when service was provided by state-run companies. This issue has only recently been addressed overtly. The energy problems of the urban poor have also been given scant attention because of the complexity of urban poverty. Lacking an adequate and stable income, the urban poor may suffer a greater shortage of goods than the rural poor, and/or this shortage may be different than that faced in rural areas because the urban poor face different consumption standards (i.e., those established during the modernization process) [Kozulj, et al., 2003]. The radical energy-sector reforms implemented in some LA&C countries, which have constituted a substantial part of structural macroeconomic reforms, have had direct and indirect effects on the poor and on poverty levels. Care needs to be taken not to reduce analysis of the consequences of these reforms only to a few direct indicators whose links to explanatory variables may be weak, doubtful, and difficult to prove rigorously. 2.2. Poverty in the three case studies Table 1 shows poverty data for the three cases analyzed: Argentina, Peru, and El Salvador. Table 1. Total population classified according to area of residence and

The geographical area criterion has in any event proved difficult to implement as different social levels coexist in the same neighborhood or settlement. Analyzing each dwelling would require a previous survey and identification of each with its address and meter number. The companies do not have this kind of systematic information, and it has not been possible to obtain it, even for more specific studies [Kozulj et al., 2003b]. 4. The many attempts to determine a social rate and the work of one of the authors within UNIREN (Contract Renegotiation Unit, Ministry of Economy) and as consultant to the Argentine Committee to the World Energy Council support such a statement. 5. By the monetary appreciation process, we understand the rising evolution of internal prices parallel to the stability of the U.S. dollar or foreign currency. It is synonymous with an overvalued currency, defined in objective terms by the degree of distance from balanced exchange parity – in other words, that which does not yield a constant divergence in terms of rising external debt. 6. The correlation between the actual exchange rate and the trade balance yields R2=.86, all statistical parameters being reliable [Kozulj, 2002]. Hence, it proved impossible to pay off the debt. To pay off the debt by means of fiscal accounts required cutting expenses, which brought fiscal income down because of the restrictive effects of the cuts [Frenkel, 2003]. The literature provides a record of the criticism of the financial policies implemented by Argentina [Krueguer, 1984; Dornbusch and Fischer, 2004]. Several articles in local journals warned about the dangers of overvaluing the local currency during "the convertibility plan": Diario Clarín, suplemento económico, 10-10-1993, R. Frigerio y M. Lascano notes; W. Rhodes (from Citycorp)" Banqueros preocupados por la sobrevaluación del peso," Clarín, 26-4-1994; Ámbito Financiero, 1-6-1995; Ámbito Financiero, 12-6-1995, p20.; Ámbito Financiero, 3-12-1997, p13.

4.2 Freedom of Expression A. Policy Statement The Board of Regents is committed to the principles of free expression embodied in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Iowa.  The Board recognizes that the primary mission of the institutions of higher education under its jurisdiction is the promotion of teaching, research, and scholarship.  In support of this mission, the institutions of higher education under the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents must provide ample opportunity for members of the campus community to engage in the free exchange of ideas. The Board's fundamental commitment is to the principle that debate or deliberation must not be suppressed merely because the viewpoints presented are considered by some or even most members of the campus community to be unwelcome, disagreeable, or offensive. In order to maintain an environment that fosters the free exchange of ideas, the universities must not restrict the expression of viewpoints in violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. It is not the responsibility of the universities to shield individual members of the campus community from viewpoints they may find unwelcome, disagreeable, or offensive. Rather, it is the responsibility of individual members of the campus community to make these determinations for themselves and to respond, not by seeking to suppress speech, but to openly and vigorously debate those viewpoints that they oppose. B. Guiding Principles i. The primary function of the Regent universities is the discovery, improvement, transmission, and dissemination of knowledge by means of research, teaching, discussion, and debate. To fulfill this function, the universities must strive to ensure the fullest degree of intellectual freedom and free expression allowed under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. ii. It is not the proper role of the Regent universities to shield individuals from speech protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which may include ideas and opinions the individual finds unwelcome, disagreeable, or even offensive. iii. It is the proper role of the Regent universities to encourage diversity of thoughts, ideas, and opinions and to encourage, within the bounds of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the peaceful, respectful, and safe exercise of First Amendment rights. iv. Students, faculty, and staff have the freedom to discuss any problem that presents itself, assemble, and engage in spontaneous expressive activity on campus, within the bounds of established principles of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions that are consistent with established First Amendment principles. C. Definitions i. Campus Community - students, administrators, faculty, and staff at a Regent university and guests invited to a Regent university by the university's students, administrators, faculty, or staff. ii. Outdoor Areas of Campus - the generally accessible outside areas of campus where students, administrators, faculty, and staff at a Regent university are commonly allowed.  The term "outdoor areas of campus" does not include areas outside health care facilities including both stand-alone facilities and mixed-use facilities that are embedded within another facility, veterinary medicine facilities, a facility or outdoor area used by an athletics program or teams, or other outdoor areas where access is restricted to a majority of the campus community. iii. University – as used in this section 4.2 "university" shall include all colleges, departments, administrative units, and employees acting in their official capacity or within the scope of their employment. D. The University shall not discriminate against or deny educational benefits to any member of the campus community because of the member's viewpoint or expression of that viewpoint as protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. E. Use of University Grounds and Facilities. i. The outdoor areas of campus are public forums, open on the same terms to any member of the campus community subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions that are consistent with established principles of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. ii. Members of the campus community may engage in non-commercial expressive activity in any outdoor area of campus in accordance with the provisions of Iowa Code Chapter 261H and published university policies governing time, place, and manner restrictions.  No area of campus shall be designated as a free speech zone, nor will the universities create policies that restrict expressive activity to a particular outdoor area. iii. Each university shall develop viewpoint-neutral time, place and manner policies identifying outdoor areas of campus and governing use by members of the campus community that are consistent with this Chapter 4.2 and Iowa Code Chapter 261H.  These policies shall be published on the university's website in a location that is readily accessible to the public. iv. University policies may permit reservation of university grounds or facilities, including the outdoor areas of campus, provided any system of reservation is applied in a viewpoint-neutral manner.  The use of outdoor areas of campus or other university grounds and facilities for noncommercial expressive activity may be conditioned upon the payment of reasonable expenses to be incurred by the university in accommodating a speaker or event.  Expenses must reasonably reflect the actual costs estimated to be incurred by the university, and under no circumstances shall costs be based on the viewpoint of any speaker. v. For the purposes of this subsection 4.2.4.E, "chalking" is defined as the marking of a sidewalk surface with water-soluble chalk (commonly referred to as sidewalk chalk).  Members of the campus community shall be permitted to engage in non-commercial chalking in the outdoor areas of campus.  The Universities may establish reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on chalking in the outdoor areas of campus provided such policies are content neutral.  The Universities may prohibit chalking in designated portions of the outdoor areas of campus provided that members of the campus community are afforded ample alternative areas to engage in non-commercial chalking. F. Campus Speakers and Programs.  The universities shall encourage students and staff to hear diverse points of view from speakers and programs sponsored by the university and/or recognized student, faculty, and employee organizations. i. Restrictions. In sponsoring campus speakers and programs, recognized faculty, student, and employee organizations shall comply with institutional rules on the advance reservation of rooms, the posting of notices, and the payment of rental charges when applicable and such other rules as the institution prescribes for the use of its buildings to avoid any interference with the regular program of the institution. ii. Sponsorship of Meeting. To encourage the presentation of diverse points of view on any issue, the president of a Regent university or a campus committee may at any particular meeting, or from time to time, sponsor, or encourage recognized campus groups to sponsor, additional speakers or programs that will contribute to the full and frank discussion of such issue. G. Student Organizations i. The universities shall not deny benefits or privileges available to student organizations based on the viewpoint of a student organization or the expression of the viewpoint by the student organization or its members, as protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. ii. The universities shall not deny any benefit or privilege to a student organization based on the student organization's requirement that the leaders of the student organization agree to and support its beliefs, as those beliefs are interpreted and applied by the student organization, and to further its mission. iii. Student organizations may, but are not required to, limit leadership positions to students who, upon individual inquiry, affirm that they support the student organization's beliefs and agree to further the student organization's mission. H. Nothing in this policy shall be interpreted as prohibiting the Regent universities from regulating or restricting expressive activity that is not protected by the First Amendment. I. University Statements on Matters of Public Concern. The University's proper role is in supporting and encouraging freedom of inquiry by fostering opportunities for the expression of differing views regarding many issues in multiple areas of study, research, and debate, including current political, social, and public policy issues. The Universities shall not take action in such a way as to require or unduly pressure members of the campus community, in their personal capacities, to express or adopt a particular viewpoint on a political, social or public policy matter. The University may speak, as an institution, on political, social, or public policy matters when such matters are central to the mission or critical operations of the University as reasonably determined by the University. In all instances, University statements on political, social, or public policy matters must be consistent with any stated position of the Board of Regents. J. Complaints to the Board of Regents. i. Any member of the campus community aggrieved by a violation of this policy may file a complaint with the Executive Director of the Board of Regents. ii. Complaints must be filed within one year of the date when the alleged violation occurred or when the member of the campus community should have been reasonably aware of the alleged violation. iii.

ARTICLE 9: Evaluation Procedures Purpose The purpose of the evaluation process is to recognize good professional practices, to promote communication and provide useful feedback about job performance, to facilitate better working relationships, to provide a historical record of performance, and to contribute to professional development. 9.1 Frequency of Evaluation 9.1.1 Per Education Code Section 44664, evaluation and assessment of the performance of each unit member shall be made on a continuing basis as follows: 9.1.1.1 At least once each school year for probationary unit members. 9.1.1.2 At least every other year for unit members with permanent status. 9.1.1.3 At least every five (5) years for unit members with permanent status who have been employed at least ten (10) years with the District, are a "highly qualified professional" as defined by 20 USC 7801, and whose previous evaluation rated the unit member as "Meets or Exceeds District Standards" in all areas on the evaluation form. 9.1.1.3.1 Unit members who qualify for the exception outlined in 9.1.1.3 shall request it of their evaluator in writing following the receipt of the notice of evaluation. 9.1.1.3.2 The evaluator shall have the sole authority to approve or deny the request. Approval of a request shall be valid for one year. 9.1.1.4 Unit members designated as "Full Time Adult Education" shall be evaluated at least every other school year. Provisions of 9.1.1.3 shall also apply. 9.1.1.5 If a unit member is to be evaluated during a particular year but is granted a leave of absence for one semester or longer, the evaluation will take place during the first year of return to duty. 9.2 Notice of Evaluation 9.2.1 Unit members scheduled for evaluation who are on active status as of the first day of school shall be notified not later than the end of the fourth (4 th ) full week of the school year in which they are to be evaluated. Unit members scheduled for evaluation who are hired or return from leave after the first day of school shall be notified within the first four (4) full weeks of their hire or return from leave date. The notification shall include a copy of Article 9 of this agreement, all relevant evaluation documents and forms, and the identity of their evaluator. The notification, documents, and forms shall be provided in digital format. 9.2.2 Should the administrator assigned to evaluate a unit member be unable to complete the evaluation due to the administrator's illness, leave of absence, transfer, resignation, or other circumstance resulting in their inability to observe and evaluate the unit member: (a) Unit members with permanent status may be assigned a mutually agreed upon evaluator. Should the unit member and the District fail to agree upon an evaluator, the unit member shall be evaluated the following school year. (b) Unit members with probationary status shall be assigned an alternate evaluator by the District. 9.2.3 Should the administrator assigned to evaluate a unit member be unable to complete the evaluation due to the unit member being transferred to a different work site: (a) Unit members with permanent status may be assigned a mutually agreed upon evaluator. Should the unit member and the District fail to agree upon an evaluator, the unit member shall be evaluated the following school year. (b) Unit members with probationary status shall be assigned an alternate evaluator by the District. 9.3 Initial Conference 9.3.1 Unit members scheduled for evaluation who are on active status as of the first day of school, shall have a conference with the evaluator by the end of the eighth (8 th ) full week of the school year. Unit members scheduled for evaluation who are hired or return from leave after the first day of school, shall have a conference with the evaluator within the first eight (8) full weeks of their hire or return date. 9.3.2 The unit member shall arrive at the conference with a copy of their proposed Goals and Objectives for the school year. 9.3.3 The evaluator shall discuss the evaluation process, the documents and forms to be used, the evaluation timeline, and when possible, future dates for observations and conferences. 9.3.4 The evaluator shall review the unit member's proposed Goals and Objectives and discuss how they relate to District standards and expectations, professional standards and responsibilities, and professional growth. 9.3.5 The evaluator and the unit member shall make a good faith effort to mutually agree upon the Goals and Objectives. (a) In the event of a disagreement, the evaluator and the unit member may invite a mutually-agreed upon third party to assist in its resolution. The third party shall recommend alternatives to the evaluator and the unit member. (b) If a third party cannot be agreed upon, or if either the evaluator or the unit member rejects the proposed alternatives, the evaluator may specify revisions in writing. Each shall have an opportunity to state his/her position relative to the objective(s) in dispute, and to have a written statement attached to the final evaluation form. 9.3.6 The evaluator shall notify classroom teachers that their performance shall be evaluated and assessed as it reasonably relates to: (a) The progress of students toward the established District standards of expected student achievement, and, if applicable, the state adopted academic content standards. (b) The instructional strategies used by the unit member. (c) The unit member's adherence to curricular objectives. (d) The establishment and maintenance of a suitable learning environment, within the scope of the unit member's responsibility. (e) The performance of non-instructional duties and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, supervisory and advisory, as may be prescribed by District management. 9.4 Observations and Data Collection 9.4.1 The evaluator shall conduct at least one formal observation of thirty (30) minutes or more utilizing the observation form no later than two (2) weeks prior to the last day of the first semester during the school year in which the unit member is to be evaluated. Additional observations may be made throughout the school year. 9.4.2 The evaluator shall endeavor to conduct a conference with the unit member within ten (10) work days of the formal observation to review the evaluator's observations as recorded on the observation form. 9.4.3 Periodic conferences may be scheduled by either the evaluator or unit member during the evaluation period to discuss observations, progress towards meeting Goals and Objectives, and/or the revision of Goals and Objectives. 9.4.4 Unit members and evaluators shall take positive action to correct any deficiencies noted during observations or otherwise. The evaluator's role in assisting the unit member shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (a) A timely notification of the deficiency; (b) Specific recommendations for improvement; (c) Assistance with the implementation of such recommendations; (d) A method for measuring improvement; and (e) A reasonable timeline (as determined by the evaluator) for improvement, to include a follow-up observation date. 9.5 Evaluation Documentation 9.5.1 The evaluation of the unit member shall be reduced to writing, and a copy thereof shall be transmitted to the unit member no later than thirty (30) days before the last school day scheduled on the school calendar adopted by the governing board for the school year. 9.5.2 The evaluation shall include recommendations, if necessary, as to areas of improvement in the performance of the unit member. If a unit member is not performing their duties in a satisfactory manner, according to the standards prescribed by the governing board, the evaluator shall notify the unit member in writing of that fact and describe the unsatisfactory performance. The evaluator shall thereafter confer with the unit member making specific recommendations as to areas of improvement in the unit member's performance and endeavor to assist the employee in their performance. 9.5.2.1 With exception of incidents of egregious misconduct, the evaluator shall not give a rating of "Does Not Meet District Standard" on the final evaluation documentation if the unit member did not receive prior notification of the deficiency and an opportunity to correct it. 9.5.3 Unit members with a final evaluation indicating "PAR Required" shall participate in the Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) program (if available), and be annually evaluated until they no longer receive a rating of "Does Not Meet District Standards" in any areas of their final evaluation, or are separated from the District. 9.5.4 Before the last school day scheduled on the school calendar adopted by the governing board for the school year, a meeting shall be held between the unit member and the evaluator to discuss the evaluation. 9.5.4.1 With the exception of the statutory deadline in 9.5.1 and 9.5.4, all other deadlines in this article may be extended within the same school year by mutual agreement between the evaluator and the evaluatee. 9.5.4.2 With the exception of the statutory deadline in 9.5.1 and 9.5.4, all other conference deadlines may be extended at the discretion of the evaluator should the unit member be unavailable to meet. 9.5.4.3 Should a unit member be unable to meet with their his or her evaluator for the evaluation conference by the statutory deadline in 9.5.4, the unit member shall be evaluated the following school year according to the contractual

IN THE pìéêÉãÉ=`çìêí=çÑ=íÜÉ=råáíÉÇ=pí~íÉë= ARTHREX, INC., Petitioner v. SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.; ARTHROCARE CORP.; AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondents. On Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari To The United States Court Of Appeals For The Federal Circuit BRIEF IN OPPOSITION NATHAN R. SPEED CHARLES T. STEENBURG RICHARD F. GIUNTA WOLF, GREENFIELD & SACKS, P.C. 600 Atlantic Avenue Boston, MA 02210 (617) 646-8000 MARK A. PERRY Counsel of Record KELLAM M. CONOVER GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP 1050 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 955-8500 [email protected] MARK J. GORMAN SMITH & NEPHEW, INC. 7135 GOODLETT FARMS PARKWAY CORDOVA, TN 38016 (901) 399-6903 Counsel for Respondents Smith & Nephew, Inc. and ArthroCare Corp. , QUESTIONS PRESENTED Inter partes review under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, Pub. L. No. 112-29, 125 Stat. 284 (2011) (AIA), allows the Patent and Trademark Office "to reconsider and cancel patent claims that were wrongly issued." Oil States Energy Servs., LLC v. Greene's Energy Grp., LLC, 138 S. Ct. 1365, 1370 (2018). The questions presented are: 1. Whether the court of appeals correctly held that inter partes review of a patent that issued three years after the AIA was enacted raises no retroactivity concerns under the Due Process Clause. 2. Whether petitioner forfeited any Appointments Clause challenge to the administrative adjudicators by not properly raising such a challenge in the court of appeals. RULE 29.6 STATEMENT Respondents Smith & Nephew, Inc. and ArthroCare Corp. state that Smith & Nephew PLC is respondents' parent corporation and no other publicly held corporation owns 10% or more of the stock of either respondent. TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF AUTHORITIES Page(s) TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) viii TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) Page(s) TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) xii TABLE OF AUTHORITIES (continued) BRIEF IN OPPOSITION Respondents Smith & Nephew, Inc., and ArthroCare Corp. respectfully submit that the petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. STATEMENT After petitioner initiated district court litigation alleging infringement of claims 10 and 11 of U.S. Patent No. 8,821,541, respondents petitioned for inter partes review (IPR) of those claims pursuant to the America Invents Act of 2011 (AIA). The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB or Board) ruled that the claims are unpatentable over the prior art. The Federal Circuit affirmed, ruling (as pertinent here) that "because the '541 patent issued on September 2, 2014, almost three years after passage of the AIA," application of the AIA's IPR procedures "cannot be characterized as retroactive." Pet. App. 18a–19a. 1. "For several decades," the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has "possessed the authority to reexamine—and perhaps cancel—a patent claim that it had previously allowed." Cuozzo Speed Techs., LLC v. Lee, 136 S. Ct. 2131, 2137 (2016). This Court has recounted the history of those review mechanisms in several recent cases. See Return Mail, Inc. v. U.S. Postal Serv., 139 S. Ct. 1853, 1859–61 (2019); Oil States Energy Servs., LLC v. Greene's Energy Grp., LLC, 138 S. Ct. 1365, 1370–71 (2018); SAS Inst., Inc. v. Iancu, 138 S. Ct. 1348, 1353–54 (2018); Cuozzo, 136 S. Ct. at 2137–38. In 1980, for example, Congress authorized ex parte reexamination. See Act of Dec. 12, 1980 (1980 Act), Pub. L. No. 96-517, 94 Stat. 3015 (35 U.S.C. § 301 et seq.). Under that regime, the USPTO may inquire "whether a substantial new question of patentability" exists for any issued patent. 35 U.S.C. § 303(a). Such a patentability question must be based on prior art patents or printed publications, and can be raised by the USPTO itself or by a third party. Id. §§ 301(a), 302, 303(a). If the USPTO decides there is a substantial new question of patentability, it will "reexamine the patent and, if warranted, cancel the patent or some of its claims." Return Mail, 139 S. Ct. at 1859. Congress authorized the USPTO to apply the ex parte reexamination mechanism to any patent "in force as of th[e] [effective] date or issued thereafter." 1980 Act § 8(b), 94 Stat. at 3027 (effective date of July 1, 1981). Patent owners subsequently raised Due Process and Takings Clause challenges to the application of ex parte reexamination to patents that issued before the 1980 Act was passed, but the Federal Circuit rejected those challenges. See Joy Techs., Inc. v. Manbeck, 959 F.2d 226, 228 (Fed. Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 829 (1992); Patlex Corp. v. Mossinghoff, 758 F.2d 594, 602–03 (Fed. Cir.), modified on rehearing, 771 F.2d 480 (Fed. Cir. 1985). Ex parte reexamination still exists today. Oil States, 138 S. Ct. at 1370. In 1999, Congress amended the Patent Act to add a new procedure called "inter partes reexamination." See American Inventors Protection Act, Pub. L. No. 106-113, §§ 4601–4608, 113 Stat. 1501A-567 to 1501A-572. Inter partes reexamination also allowed the USPTO to cancel claims of an issued patent, but it provided "third parties greater opportunities to participate in the [USPTO]'s reexamination proceedings as well as in any appeal of a [USPTO] decision." Cuozzo, 136 S. Ct. at 2137. In 2011, Congressed enacted the AIA. Among other provisions, the AIA "modifies 'inter partes reexamination,' which it now calls 'inter partes review.'" Cuozzo, 136 S. Ct. at 2137 (emphasis omitted). Congress understood the new inter partes review (IPR) procedure to be part of the "administrative'reexamination' process" it first created in the 1980s to "serve as an effective and efficient alternative to often costly and protracted district court litigation." H.R. Rep. No. 112-98, at 45, 2011 U.S.C.C.A.N. 67, 75 (2011). Given "problems and limitations" Congress perceived with the then-existing ex parte and inter partes reexamination processes, it envisioned inter partes review as "a quick, inexpensive, and reliable alternative to district court litigation to resolve questions of patent validity." S. Rep. No. 110-259, at 20 (2008). Any person may request that the USPTO reconsider claims of an issued patent through the inter partes review process. 35 U.S.C. § 311(a). To do so, the challenger must file with the USPTO a petition that identifies the grounds on which the challenger believes the issued claims are not novel or would have been obvious under sections 102 or 103 of the Patent Act in light of "prior art consisting of patents and printed publications." Id. § 311(b). These are the same grounds of unpatentability that a challenger could have raised in an ex parte or inter partes reexamination. See id. §§ 301, 311 (2006 ed.). If the Director of the USPTO finds a "reasonable likelihood" that the challenged claims are unpatentable, he may at his discretion institute a review proceeding. 35 U.S.C. § 314(a). The proceeding is conducted before the Board, which generally acts in panels comprised of three Administrative Patent Judges (APJs). During such a proceeding, the challenger and patent owner may conduct limited discovery, submit briefs, introduce evidence, and attend an oral hearing. Id. §

b. Petitioner does not acknowledge the principle that mentioning an issue only in a Rule 28(j) letter is insufficient to raise it, nor does petitioner cite any authority for the contrary proposition. Instead, it asserts that ordinary forfeiture principles "do[ ] not apply where there is an intervening change of law while the appeal is pending." Pet. 30–31. Petitioner cites no authority for that proposition, and all applicable authority is to the contrary. Before the Federal Circuit decided the '907 patent appeal, no precedential decision had ever previously decided the propriety of APJ appointments; indeed, the only precedential Federal Circuit decision to even allude to the issue held that the challenger had "failed to timely raise" its Appointments Clause challenge. In re DBC, 545 F.3d 1373, 1378–80 (Fed. Cir. 2008). In another such case, this Court denied certiorari where (as here) the challenger had failed to present an Appointments Clause challenge before the decision was rendered. Smartflash LLC v. Samsung Elecs. Am., Inc., No. 18-189 (cert. denied Oct. 1, 2018). The same result is warranted here. The courts of appeals that have considered the issue agree that ordinary preservation rules apply to Appointments Clause challenges even when there is an intervening Appointments Clause decision. See Island Creek Coal Co. v. Wilkerson, 910 F.3d 254, 256 (6th Cir. 2018) (despite intervening Lucia decision, petitioner "forfeited its Appointments Clause challenge" by "not rais[ing] the issue * * * in its opening brief"); NLRB v. RELCO Locomotives, Inc., 734 F.3d 764, 795 (8th Cir. 2013) (despite intervening Noel Canning decision, petitioner forfeited "appointments clause challenge" that "was not made in [its] opening briefs and was raised only in a Rule 28(j) letter"); Kabani & Co. v. SEC, 733 F. App'x 918, 919 (9th Cir. 2018) (unpublished) (despite intervening Lucia decision, "petitioners forfeited their Appointments Clause claim by failing to raise it in their briefs"), cert. denied, 139 S. Ct. 2013 (2019); see also Turner Bros., Inc. v. Conley, 757 F. App'x 697, 700 (10th Cir. 2018) (unpublished) (despite intervening Lucia decision, petitioner forfeited Appointments Clause challenge by "not rais[ing] the issue until after it filed its brief with th[e] court"). c. Petitioner suggests that its "'failure to raise the claim in an opening brief reflects not a lack of diligence, but merely a want of clairvoyance.'" Pet. 31 (quoting Joseph v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 705, 706 (2014) (Kagan, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari)). The facts of this case, however, demonstrate that petitioner lacked diligence, not clairvoyance. At the same time as briefing was ongoing in this appeal, petitioner itself chose to present the Appointments Clause challenge in a separate appeal from the PTAB between the same parties and stemming from the same underlying district court litigation. In other words, petitioner was the appellant in two co-pending Federal Circuit appeals with overlapping briefing schedules—yet it strategically chose to present the Appointments Clause challenge in the '907 patent appeal but not in this '541 patent appeal. Petitioner presumably had strategic and tactical reasons for presenting different constitutional arguments in the two appeals; it must be held to the consequence of its own decision. Moreover, the Appointments Clause challenge had been laid out in a publicly available academic article no later than January 2018—before petitioner even noticed its appeal in this case. See Gary Lawson, Appointments and Illegal Adjudication: The AIA Through a Constitutional Lens, Geo. Mason L. Rev. (forthcoming), https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers. cfm?abstract_id=3105511. Several litigants raised Appointments Clause challenges in PTAB proceedings shortly thereafter. See, e.g., Ex. 67 at 44–45, St. Jude Med., LLC v. Snyders Heart Valve LLC, IPR2018-00107 (PTAB filed Feb. 6, 2018); Ex. 26 at 59–60, Unified Patents Inc. v. Sound View Innovations, LLC, IPR2018-00096 (PTAB filed Feb. 1, 2018). Other litigants raised similar challenges in the Federal Circuit, see, e.g., Br. for Appellant (Dkt. 22), Polaris Innovations Ltd. v. Kingston Tech. Co., No. 20181768 (Fed. Cir. filed July 10, 2018), and in this Court, see Pet. for Cert., Smartflash LLC v. Samsung Elecs. Am., Inc., No. 18-189 (U.S. filed Aug. 9, 2018). Commentators at the time noted these developments, all of which occurred before briefing in this case was completed in December 2018. See Constitutionality of PTAB Judge Appointments Challenged in Polaris IPR Appeal, Foley & Lardner LLP (Aug. 3, 2018), https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2018/08/constitutionality-of-ptab-judge-appointments-chall; Rebecca Lindhorst & Jason D. Eisenberg, Do You Want an Inferior Judge?: Why PTAB Judges May Be Unconstitutional, Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox, PLLC (July 2018), https:// www.sternekessler.com/news-insights/publications/ do-you-want-inferior-judge-why-ptab-judges-may-beunconstitutional-and; Ryan Davis, Are PTAB Judges Unconstitutional? A Closer Look, Law360 (Sept. 5, 2018) https://www.law360.com/articles/1080125. This is not, therefore, a case about "clairvoyance." This is a case about holding a litigant to its deliberate decision not to make an argument in this appeal that it was simultaneously pressing in a co-pending appeal, and that was well known in any event. Petitioner deliberately chose not to bring an Appointments Clause challenge in this appeal, even as it was pursuing such a challenge in another appeal between the same parties. This Court is unlikely to see a clearer case of forfeiture. 2. Petitioner notes that "[t]his Court has reviewed structural constitutional challenges to an adjudicator's authority despite a failure to preserve the argument." Pet. 31–32. But the exceptional cases cited by petitioner hold only that an appellate court may excuse a litigant's failure to preserve an Appointments Clause challenge. Nguyen v. United States, 539 U.S. 69, 74, 78–79 (2003); Freytag, 501 U.S. at 879; Glidden Co. v. Zdanok, 370 U.S. 530, 535–36 (1962). They say nothing about whether a court should excuse such a failure where, as here, a litigant had both constructive and actual knowledge of an available argument, yet consciously chose not to preserve it. There is no basis in law, logic, or equity for relieving petitioner of the consequences of that decision. This is not a case in which an important constitutional issue might escape review because of forfeiture principles. The Federal Circuit, in the separate '907 patent appeal, has issued multiple opinions on the Appointments Clause issue. See 941 F.3d 1320 (panel decision); 953 F.3d 760 (Fed. Cir. 2020) (denial of rehearing en banc with five separate opinions); Order (Dkt. 118), No. 2018-2140 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 30, 2020) (order and decision denying stay of mandate pending this Court's review). Both Arthrex and Smith & Nephew intend to petition for review of the panel decision in that appeal, and the United States may well do so too. That case—not this one—is the appropriate vehicle for deciding whether APJs are inferior or principal Officers. And there is no reason to hold this petition for that case because petitioner forfeited the issue here no matter how it may ultimately be resolved there. CONCLUSION The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. Respectfully submitted. NATHAN R. SPEED CHARLES T. STEENBURG RICHARD F.

COVID-19 and Stimulus Payments to Individuals: How the 2009 Economic Recovery Payment Worked March 18, 2020 In response to concerns about an economic slowdown due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, some lawmakers have expressed interest in providing direct cash payments to Americans. One option to provide such payments would be to establish a new advanced refundable tax credit, as was done in 2008 with "recovery rebates." Although this option would disburse payments to the vast majority of Americans relatively quickly, it would not directly help those who do not file a federal income tax return. A 2017 study found that "nonfilers" were more likely to be seniors or recipients of public assistance than those who filed a tax return. To provide direct cash payments to nonfilers, lawmakers could consider providing such payments through existing programs for certain vulnerable populations. To assist lawmakers in assessing the merits of such a proposal, this Insight examines the 2009 Economic Recovery Payment (ERP), which was a one-time $250 payment made to most individuals who received recurring cash benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Overview The ERP was established as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA; P.L. 111-5). Section 2201 of ARRA provided a one-time payment of $250 to the following groups: - Adult Social Security beneficiaries; - Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients of all ages; - Adult railroad retirement annuitants; and - Adult VA disability compensation or pension recipients. The ERP was not available to dependent minor or student children who might otherwise receive benefits under Social Security, railroad retirement, or VA's programs, nor was it available to SSI recipients who received a personal needs allowance. Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN11254 To qualify, an individual must have been eligible for benefits under one of the aforementioned programs for at least one month during the three-month period prior to ARRA's enactment (i.e., eligible for benefits between November 2008 and January 2009). Individuals were ineligible for the ERP if they resided outside of the United States or had their benefits suspended during the qualifying month prior to ARRA's enactment because they were (1) incarcerated, (2) a fugitive felon, (3) a probation or parole violator, (4) not lawfully present in the United States, or (5) found to have committed fraud. Each eligible individual received the ERP. Thus, a married couple composed of two eligible individuals received $500 in combined payments ($250 each). However, ARRA specified that no eligible individual could receive more than one payment, even if he or she were eligible for benefits under multiple programs (e.g., Social Security and VA disability compensation). In addition, the ERP reduced the amount of the Making Work Pay tax credit, which was another stimulus measure in ARRA. ARRA specified that the ERP was not subject to federal income tax, and it provided the ERP with certain garnishment protections, although the ERP was still subject to the Treasury Offset Program. ARRA also provided that the ERP could not be treated as income, or as a resource for the month of receipt and the following nine months, in determining the individual's eligibility or assistance amount under any federally funded public program. ERPs and administrative costs were financed by general revenues. Legislative History and Rationale The House version of ARRA would have provided for a one-time payment to SSI recipients equal to the average monthly SSI payment. In justifying the payment, Representative Carolyn Kilpatrick noted that ARRA "focuses on addressing the needs of those who need assistance most" and SSI recipients would be more likely to spend the payment quickly because they have "very low incomes." The Senate version of ARRA would have set the one-time payment equal to $300 and extended it to Social Security, RRB, and VA beneficiaries. Then-Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus said the provisions in ARRA (including the one-time payment) were designed to "counteract weak consumer demand and spending slowdowns." The conference agreement followed the Senate version but set the payment level at $250. Representative Paul Kanjorski remarked that by providing the ERP to retirees and disabled individuals, the payment was designed to "help more people without jobs." Meanwhile, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse noted that the ERP provided "extra help from the Federal Government" for vulnerable seniors. Implementation ARRA required SSA, RRB, and VA to work with Treasury to coordinate and certify the eligibility of each ERP recipient. Administering agencies sent out notices to identified individuals in advance of receiving the ERP, as well as provided FAQs on their websites. Treasury was required to start disbursing ERPs no later than 120 days (4 months) after enactment of ARRA (February 17, 2009), and no payments were to be made after 2010. Treasury disbursed most ERPs in May 2009, as well as a "catch-up" payment in December 2010 for individuals identified as eligible after the initial disbursement date (Table 1). SSA considered the May 2009 timeframe to be "a major accomplishment," given the short statutory deadline for initial payments. Treasury ultimately issued more than 55.2 million ERPs, totaling over $13.8 billion. Table 1. Economic Recovery Payment (ERP) Schedule Source: U.S. Department of the Treasury. Discussion The congressional rationale for the ERP was twofold: (1) to provide assistance to certain vulnerable populations and (2) to stimulate economic activity through consumer spending. A 2012 study analyzed the answers to a 2009 household survey on certain stimulus measures created in 2008 and 2009. It found that most ERP recipients were aged 65 or older, had household income at or below $35,000, and had little or no wealth in stocks. With respect to how recipients used the ERP, the study found that 30% mostly spent it, 29% mostly saved it, and 41% mostly paid down debt with it. Author Information William R.

Research Article Research Article Essay on Distress Payal Chadha* Swiss Management Center, University Zug, Kuwait Abstract This paper describes the state of distress, outlines major signs of distress, creates hypothesis about the potential sources of distress plausible for the project and the environment mentioned, and describes ways of eliminating the distress factors. Financial statements are the best source as selected financial ratios are used to calculate the distress level of the firms. Factors like the economic cycle, macroeconomic factors, and mismanagement of cash flows cause distress financially to the firms. To avoid distress, the best strategies are to restructure business operations, debt, financing and to maintain cash outflow and inflow using simple procedures. Keywords: Financial ratios; Distress factors; Financial distress; Debt financing; Stakeholders repairs make the costs of financial distress very costly, e.g. electronic companies [2]. Introduction to the State of Distress Financial distress occurs when a firm cannot meet contractual obligations on its debt financing [1,2]. It can occur due to illiquidity, lack of equity, non-payment of debts, and shortage of current assets [3]. This refers to as a weakening in a company's financial condition caused by excessive financial leverage. The costs of financial distress involve incentives for stakeholders to make decisions that is not beneficial to the firm. In the extreme scenario, this can lead to bankruptcy where it will bear various expenses and be forced to sell assets to meet creditor's claims [2]. Fiscal Distress can occur in an economy by assessing the relationship between the population distribution and the present value of a government's future expenditure and government debt. Both financial and fiscal distresses are cyclical in nature [3]. The greatest challenge in financial distress is to recognize the main cause for such occurrence and rectify it immediately. The late discovery of financial distress creates more time pressure and more questionable is the success of counter measures [4]. Major Signs of Distress Jantadej says if a company reports loss for three months continuously, then it is financially distressed. Non payment of preferred dividends and reduction in common stock dividends are indicators of financial distress [1]. Difficulties in measuring financial distress very often lead to an identification problem of whether an individual factor is a trigger of financial distress or rather its consequence [4]. Financial economists believe that firms in distress share certain characteristics and they are: Default on payments occurs when a project in operation is unable to meet its debt service payments [3]. Negative changes in financial ratios occur when return on equity(ROE) and return on assets (ROA) show distress. The cash flow coverage ratio is a better indicator for distress in project finance [3]. The Efficient Market Hypothesis says that stock prices provide the most vital information that is not available anywhere else, e.g. a decline in stock price can cause financial distress leading to economic distress incase the stock exchange index declines [3]. If a firm's credit rating declines, then financial distress occurs, e.g. if a bank's rating drops, the reputation is affected and causes a negative air around the investors [3]. Firms producing highly specialized products or products requiring Similarly firms producing goods or providing services whose quality is important but difficult to assess in advance [2], e.g. Kingfisher Airlines in India is financially distressed and has not paid employees many months' salaries. Firms having high growth opportunities, e.g. investors would not like to finance projects of distressed companies [2]. Firms having intangible assets like human capital, brand name, etc. if distressed will lose customers and reputation in the market [2]. Potential Sources of Distress and Elimination of Distress Factors Debt enforcement risk: Returns to distressed stocks are likely to be higher in countries with higher probability of renegotiation failure, higher debt priority, greater creditor recovery, stronger creditor rights, and lower insider ownership [5]. For Example, a U.S. exporter of electrical equipment for the trade has to contend with non-payment by a Brazilian reseller. Unless this issue was resolved, this would have effected the economic relations between two countries. They approached a third party that was an expert in debt collection services. This third party helped the exporter reach an amicable agreement with the reseller and come up with a solution consisting of a ten-month repayment plan. Limits to arbitrage risk: Returns to distressed stocks are likely to be higher in countries with lower institutional ownership, higher market illiquidity, and higher Amihud's illiquidity [5]. For Example, There is no way to go short housing. One can go short the bank issuing  mortgages, but if the bank has two internal businesses i.e., jumbo sub prime loans and boring small business loans, then its not sensible for them to turn down the loan division in response to the market shorting? The sub prime loans on mortgages were the reason *Corresponding author: Chadha P, Swiss Management Center, University Zug, Kuwait, Tel: +96569078096; E-mail: [email protected] Received May 10, 2016; Accepted June 30, 2016; Published July 04, 2016 Citation: Chadha P (2016) Essay on Distress.

Open Access why market crashed in 2008. Exert price pressure directly to drive the prices down. There's speculation about how derivatives contracts will be traded in the future on each other's neighborhoods; depending on how that's implemented [6]. Takeover legislation risk: Returns to distressed stocks are likely to be lower in countries with higher takeover index, takeover law, and rule of law [5]. For Example, Louisiana is an example of a state enacting anti-takeover laws since 1996. Since then, it has enacted five separate anti take over provisions such as a control share acquisition statute, a foreign corporation share acquisition statute, a fair price statute, a foreign corporation control share acquisition statute, an expanded fiduciary duty statute and a poison pill statute to protect domestic corporation's shareholders and retain existing businesses [7]. Informational transparency risk: Returns on distressed stocks are likely to be higher in countries with greater information uncertainty and lower quality of accounting/ disclosure standards [5]. For Example, Banks are a significant source of financing around the world, playing an important role in mobilizing savings, allocating resources, and monitoring firms. An unresolved issue in bank regulation involves the importance of informational transparency of banks in promoting market disciplining of banks by outside investors as a fundamental lever of bank regulation that can both supplement and enhance the effectiveness of more traditional bank regulatory practices [8]. Banks exhibit more risk-shifting behavior in countries where accounting regimes are characterized by higher levels of earnings smoothing [8]. This suggests that earnings smoothing by banks leads to less informative earnings in the sense that such accounting information appear to be less effective in facilitating the ability of outside investors and regulators to monitor and discipline bank risk-taking [8]. Refinancing risk: Returns to distressed stocks are likely to be lower in countries with greater availability of private credit [5]. For example, if a bank has a ten-year fixed-rate loan funded by a 2-year time deposit, the bank faces a risk of borrowing new deposits, or refinancing, at a higher rate in two years. Thus, interest rate increases would reduce net interest income. The bank would benefit if the rates fall as the cost of renewing the deposits would decrease, while the earning rate on the assets would not change. In this case, net interest income would increase. Investor preferences: Returns on distressed stocks are higher in countries with greater average stock return skewness.

Mr Taz Choudhury came to prominence during the 1990's when a group of talented BritishBengali young stars brought the Eastern Eye newspaper to distinction. And with his ears to the ground at all times, Taz is among the few who have made biggest impact on behalf of Asian publications locally and in the news trade. Mr Choudhury's involvement with Ethnic Media Group in 1992 helped this company to steadily grow over a number of years, and to include some successful titles such as New Nation, Asian Times, Caribbean Times and the very successful Richest Asian 200 publication to the portfolio. In 1998, Mr Choudhury was headhunted by Zee TV as "Head of Corporate Communications". He was very successful in this role, and was able to push the station to the heady heights that it enjoys to this day. 2003 would prove to be a memorable year for Taz Choudhury as he created the first national newspaper to be distributed through newsagents for the Bangladeshi Mr Taz Choudhury Place of Residence: London Sector: Media (Electronic) community in Britain. This newspaper, called Bangla Post, has been a huge success and has set a precedent for similar publications to aspire to. After spending almost three years at the helm of Bangla Post, Mr Choudhury then decided to move on to new projects and handed over his brain child to a group of respectable business professionals and success story of Bangla Post still goes on. 18 months, Shahjalal Foods established itself as one of the biggest Bangladeshi frozen food companies. Success and Taz go hand-in-hand in electronic media as well. Channel S, the number one TV channel for British Bangladeshis saw the presence of sheer leader Taz in March 2006. He joined with his good friend Mahee Ferdhaus – founder of Channel S, as Commercial Director and now serving as CEO. As a diversified professional, Mr Choudhury also ventured into the frozen foods company Shahjalal Foods in March 2007. Although Shahjalal Foods had existed since 2006, it was already struggling to be a success despite the high product quality. Mr Choudhury devoted his time to turning the company's fortunes around. Within 83 However, never being one to stay in one venture for a long time, Taz Choudhury is being involved with novel projects. That's why involvement with Channel I was an obvious for Taz Choudhury. As part of expansion of Channel S, the owner Mahee Ferdhaus invited him to become his business partner at Channel I to inject his expertise of excellence and to serve as Managing Director. Mr Choudhury oversaw the UK and European launch of Channel I in September 2007, and the station is now very popular among Bangladeshi professionals as well as both first and second generation Bangladeshi expatriates that are based in Europe. The portrait of Taz Choudhury is therefore now more inclined to a Businessman with key expertise in marketing, sales and operation

Multiple Ownership Compliance Proposed FM1255-A, Paragonah, UT September 4, 2021 An engineering analysis was performed for M. Kent Frandsen to determine if the proposed Long Form application for Proposed FM1255-A meets the requirements of the multiple ownership rules. M. Kent Frandsen has attributable interest in the following one FM and one AM stations: The principal community contours of these two aforementioned stations and the proposed FM1255-A were plotted on the attached "Multiple Ownership" contour map. The 70 dBµ F(50,50) contour of Proposed FM1255-A is shaded pink. The proposed FM1255-A and the other two commonly owned stations (KPLD and KAZZ(AM) make up the "Radio Market". Since this is not an Arbitron Metro Market, the interim contour-overlap methodology has been used to determine compliance with Section 73.3555. Count of AM Stations in "Radio Market" The total number of AM radio stations in the "Radio Market" was determined by counting the licensed AM stations having 5 mV/m contours that intersect the principal community contours which define the "Radio Market". Only those stations located within 92 kilometers of the perimeter of the mutual overlap area of the respective defined market area were employed in the count of the stations. Distances to the AM coverage contours were predicted using the antenna patterns as identified in the Commission's AM database and the appropriate Ground Wave Field Strength versus Distance Graph of 47 CFR 73.184. The analysis identified three AM stations listed below. Two stations were non-commonly owned and the one commonly owned station was shaded yellow. Count of FM Stations in "Radio Market" The number FM radio stations in the "Radio Market" was determined by counting the authorized FM stations having 70dBµ F(50,50) contours that intersect the principal community contours which define the "Radio Market". Only those stations located within 92 kilometers of the perimeter of the mutual overlap area of the respective defined market area were employed in the count of the stations. Distances to the FM contours were determined based on the method of 47 CFR 73.313. The analysis identified seven FM stations listed below. Six stations were non-commonly owned. One commonly owned station is shaded yellow. This analysis identified a total of eight non-commonly owned commercial and non-commercial full powered FM and AM stations in the "Radio Market" and two commonly owned stations. In a radio market with 14 or fewer commercial and noncommercial educational full-power radio stations, M. Kent Frandsen may have a cognizable interest in up to five commercial radio stations, not more than three of which are in the same service (AM or FM). The results of this analysis indicate that the proposed Long Form application for FM1255-A will meet the Multiple Ownership requirements of Section 73.3555(a) of the FCC Rules.

A Gestational Profile of Placental Exosomes in Maternal Plasma and Their Effects on Endothelial Cell Migration Carlos Salomon 1 *, Maria Jose Torres 2, Miharu Kobayashi 1, Katherin Scholz-Romero 1, Luis Sobrevia 1,3, Aneta Dobierzewska 2, Sebastian E.

The aim of this study was to establish the gestational-age release profile and bioactivity of placental cell-derived exosome in maternal plasma. Plasma samples (n = 20 per pregnant group) were obtained from non-pregnant and pregnant women in the first (FT, 6–12 weeks), second (ST, 22–24 weeks) and third (TT, 32–38 weeks) trimester. The number of exosomes and placental exosome contribution were determined by quantifying immunoreactive exosomal CD63 and placenta-specific marker (PLAP), respectively. The effect of exosomes isolated from FT, ST and TT on endothelial cell migration were established using a real-time, live-cell imaging system (Incucyte). Exosome plasma concentration was more than 50-fold greater in pregnant women than in non-pregnant women (p,0.001). During normal healthy pregnancy, the number of exosomes present in maternal plasma increased significantly with gestational age by more that two-fold (p, 0.001). Exosomes isolated from FT, ST and TT increased endothelial cell migration by 1.960.1, 1.660.2 and 1.360.1-fold, respectively compared to the control. Pregnancy is associated with a dramatic increase in the number of exosomes present in plasma and maternal plasma exosomes are bioactive. While the role of placental cell-derived exosome in regulating maternal and/or fetal vascular responses remains to be elucidated, changes in exosome profile may be of clinical utility in the diagnosis of placental dysfunction.

In addition to soluble endocrine mediators, placental cells (including cytotrophoblasts, syncytiotrophoblast and placental mesenchymal stem cells) also release extracellular vesicles (ECVs – including: apoptotic bodies/vesicles (100–600 nm); shed microvilli (.400 nm); microvesicles (0.1–2 mm); and exosomes (30–100 nm)[2]) that may also modify maternal physiology and fetal development [3]. Indeed, over the past five years, our understanding of how cells communicate with each other, in health and disease, has undergone a paradigm shift with the recognition of the role of exosomes in inter-cellular signaling [4]. The role of placenta-derived exosomes in maternal adaptation to pregnancy remains to be established. Exosomes are cell-derived bioactive vesicles, secreted by exocytosis and reflect aspects of the physiological state and function of the originating cells, including the human placenta [5,6]. In addition, the release and content of these nanovesicles can be affected by the extracellular micro-environment.[7]. Exosomes are characterised as spherical bilayer lipid vesicles of 30–100 nm diameter when imaged using cryosection electron microscopy. The exosomal lipid bilayer contains relatively high concentrations of cholesterol, sphingomyelin, ceramide and detergent resistant membrane domains (lipid rafts) making these vesicles extremely stable.[8]. Exosomes regulate intracellular pathways by sequestering signalling molecules from the cytoplasm by reducing their bioavailability or preventing their packaging and release via exocytosis.[9]. They contain mRNA, miRNA [10], cellsurface receptors [11] and protein mediators [12] that can interact with either adjacent or distal cells to reprogram their phenotype and regulate cell function [13]. Available data suggest that the release of exosomes represents an important and common mode of cell-to-cell communication [14] under both normal and pathological conditions [15,16]. Previous studies have identified the presence of exosomal proteins released from first trimester and term placenta, including molecules with immunological functions such as HLA-G and B7 family immunomodulators [17]; soluble MHC class I chainrelated protein A and B [18]; syncytin-1 expression [19]. Available data support a role for placenta-derived ECVs in immunosuppression and maintenance of the fetal allograft. Placenta-derived ECVs (including exosomes and microvesicles) have been identified in maternal plasma during normal pregnancy [20–22]. They contain placenta-specific proteins and miRNA, thus, may be differentiated from maternally-derived exosomes [23–25]. While the release of ECVs has been reported to change in association with complications of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, the identity of ECV involved has yet to be unequivocally established and/or well characterised [21,22,26–28]. Studies completed to date provide persuasive evidence that placental cell-derived exosomes play a significant role in intercellular communication pathways that potentially contribute to placentation and development of maternal-fetal vascular exchange. Furthermore, the release and composition of these ECVs during normal pregnancies remain to be fully elucidated. We hypothesise that during normal, uncomplicated pregnancy the concentration of placenta-derived exosomes in maternal blood increases during pregnancy and correlates with uterine blood flow and placental weight at delivery. Furthermore, we suggest placenta-derived exosomes mediate maternal vascular adaptation to pregnancy. As such, the analysis of placenta-derived exosomes in maternal blood may represent a clinically useful, non-invasive test for placental function and/or dysfunction. The specific aims of this study were to establish pregnancyassociated changes in: the concentration, content and bioactivity of placenta-derived exosomes in maternal blood during pregnancy from normal healthy women. Materials and Methods Study group and samples A time-series experimental design was used to established pregnancy-associated change in exosome concentration, content and bioactivity in maternal blood. Women were recruited, with informed, written consent, by research midwives from the Clinica Davila, Santiago, Chile. Serial blood samples (BD Vacutainer PLUS Tubes. EDTA) were collected from normal, healthy pregnant women (n = 20 women sampled three times during pregnancy) during first trimester (6–12 weeks), second trimester (22–24 weeks) and third trimester (32–38 weeks) of pregnancy. Human plasma samples were obtained in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the ethics committee of The University of Queensland.Tissue collection was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committees of the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, and the University of Queensland (HREC/09/QRBW/14). Doppler ultrasound examinations of the umbilical artery (left and right arteries) were performed across the pregnancy (n = 49, 11 missing data values for pulsatility index across the pregnancy). Plasma samples were stored at 280uC until analysed (samples were not stored for more than three months). All experimental procedures were conducted within an ISO17025 accredited (National Association of Testing Authorities,

DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST. There were none. 2. CORRESPONDENCE. a) A request had been received from Candlelit Dartmouth concerning a reduction in fees for use of the Market in 2017. Members agreed that it was important to support this festival for the Town. Proposed: Cllr F J Hawke Seconded: Cllr R W I Cooke Recommended: That Candlelit Dartmouth be granted use of Dartmouth Market on Saturday 25 th November 2017 at a discounted cost of £100.00. b) A request had been received for use of the Market (including the Community Corner) by Dartmouth Food Festival. Members noted the use of the Royal Avenue Gardens booked through South Hams District Council and Cllr Fyson told the meeting that a full review of charges including deposits would be made when the date for the transfer of assets from the District Council was known. Proposed: Cllr R W I Cooke Seconded: Cllr F J Hawke Recommended: That Dartmouth Food Festival be granted use of Dartmouth Market and the Community Corner. 3. MARKET. a) Continental Market at Easter. The Clerk told members that the organisers of a Continental Market had visited Dartmouth Market but had decided that the Royal Avenue Gardens would make a better venue for their event and had contacted South Hams District Council to hire this. The meeting agreed that the Town Council should object to the Continental Market in the Royal Avenue Gardens if no traders were to have stalls in the Town Council's Market. After the meeting it was noted that as a Charter Market holder the Town Council could stop any other Market taking place within 6 and two thirds miles. Proposed: Cllr R W I Cooke Seconded: Cllr G B F Coles Recommended: That the Town Council object to the holding of a Continental Market in the Royal Avenue Gardens at the Easter weekend. b) Updated Market Regulations and Trader Application Forms (from the Market working group) had been circulated to members. Proposed: Cllr B T Harriss Seconded: Cllr R Springett Recommended: That the Town Council adopt the new Market Regulations and Trader Application Forms. c) Signs for the Market. Members discussed the options for signs on the Market on the Victoria Road entrance and in the recessed panels on Victoria Road. The Clerk would circulate to members the conceptual designs that had been compiled by Stevie Rogers for the panel recesses and obtain quotations for a Dartmouth Market sign for above the main entrance to include the Town Crest. The Listed Buildings Officer from South Hams District Council had confirmed that he would be happy with a new sign above the Market entrance and panels in the recesses. 4. GUILDHALL. a) Update on improvements. Cllr Lyon told the meeting that the Council Chamber would be finished in time for Mayor Making and then work would continue on to the Mayors parlour, kitchenette and toilet. Proposed: Cllr F J Hawke Seconded: Cllr B T Harriss Recommended: That the refurbishment of the Guildhall continue with the Mayors Parlour, kitchenette and toilet area. b) Display of Regalia – to discuss a purpose built display cabinet for the Council Chamber or for the main corridor. Members agreed that the cost of glass doors for the recess in the Council Chamber would be too expensive (at £4,000-£5,000) at present but that the Council's aspiration should be to have the doors in place for Mayflower 400 in 2020. The Clerk would seek to obtain further estimates for the installation of glass doors. Cllr Cooke suggested that it might be possible to get sponsorship for the glass doors. Proposed: Cllr A J C Fyson Seconded: Cllr B T Harriss Recommended: That the Town Council plans to have glass display doors in the alcove in the Council Chamber by 2020. c) Provision for PR to promote the Guildhall following the completion of the refurbishment. The Chairman told the meeting that the Town Council had agreed to put £2,000 in the budget for 2017/2018 to market the Guildhall and he asked members to consider going out to tender for PR to promote the building and its facilities following the refurbishment. The Chairman and Clerk would look at possible options for the hiring of a PR professional for 3-4 hours per week and this would be reviewed after 3 months. Proposed: Cllr G B F Coles Seconded: Cllr R W I Cooke Recommended: That the Town Council seek quotations for professional PR assistance of 3-4 hours per week to promote the Guildhall. 5. COMMUNITY ORCHARD. a) Proposed Shelter and information point - request for funding from the Friends of the Community Orchard. The Chairman thanked Peter Shaw the Chairman of the Friends of the Community Orchard for the reports that he had sent to the Town Council on the work of the Friends, a Bat survey and inventory of the fruit trees. Peter Shaw explained that the Friends of the Community Orchard had raised most of the funds for the information point and shelter but would like the Town Council to meet the shortfall of £660.00. The Mayor would be invited to officially open the shelter on 21 st May 2017. Proposed: Cllr R Springett Seconded: Cllr R W I Cooke Recommended: That the Town Council make a grant of £660.00 towards the cost of the new information point and shelter in the Community Orchard. b) To notify members that the Friends of the Community Orchard were seeking Village Green status for the Community Orchard. Peter Shaw told the meeting that the legal advice received by the Friends of the Community Orchard was that they were not in a position to apply for Village Green Status at present. 6. AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENTS COMMISSION MONUMENT. The Chairman gave an update on the plans for an American Battle Monuments Commission Monument in the Royal Avenue Gardens and the dedication service. The granite stone had been chosen and the details of the works required in the Royal Avenue Gardens had been sent to South Hams District Council. These works would require a seat to be moved and a new planting scheme behind the monument. The Chairman was awaiting further details from the American Battle Monuments representative in Europe and would move this matter forward. 7. PURCHASE AND PLACEMENT OF TOWN MAPS. Details of a town map scheme put forward by Stevie Rogers had been circulated to members. The meeting felt that while this was a very good scheme, the advertising and sale of maps could detract from revenue currently achieved by the Tourist Information Centre; they also felt that the cost was prohibitive. Cllr Hawke told the meeting that he believed the provision of maps in the Town should be drawn back under the auspices of the Town Council and he felt that 2 maps, one by the coaches dropping off point and one in the Royal Avenue Gardens was sufficient. Cllr Harris suggested that the Old Dartmothians could be approached to make boards for the maps after their excellent work on the shelter in Coronation Park. Cllr Coles presented pictures of a map she had designed using pictorial work from the current Discover Dartmouth brochure, for the production of which she had received a quote of £600.00. The Dartmouth and District Chamber of Trade had originally offered to contribute a third of the costs but required some editorial control. Cllr Fyson suggested that the printing department of South Hams District Council could also produce maps and artwork at competitive prices. The meeting felt that the proposed map needed a few alterations including the removal of the "square" around the centre of the map. Cllr Coles was asked to talk to the Dartmouth and District Guide Directors and bring an amended proposal back to the next Corporate Property Committee meeting. Proposed: Cllr R Springett Seconded: Cllr R W I Cooke Recommended: That Cllr Coles talk to the Dartmouth and District Guide Directors and bring a firm proposal back to the next meeting of the Corporate Property Committee. 8. BUTTERWALK. The Mayor informed the meeting that Planning Permission had been granted by South Hams District Council for the replacement of the flat roof to the rear of the Sloping Deck bakery at the Butterwalk. The Clerk would now seek quotations for the

PRESENT: Mayor: Michael W. Daniels City Council Members: Mark K. Atwood Cindy Boyd Lee Jensen Bruce Call Jeffrey D. Wilson Others: Frank Mills, City Administrator Tina Petersen, City Attorney Gary Clay, Finance Director Lynn Walker, Public Works Director Deon Giles, Leis. Services Director Richard Bradford, Ec. Dev. Director Tom Paul, Police Chief Marc Sanderson, Fire Chief Degen Lewis, City Engineer Libby Flegal, NAB Chair The City Council Members met in the City Council Chambers at 86 East 100 South, Pleasant Grove, Utah 84062 at 7 p.m. 1. Call to Order Mayor Daniels called roll for the Council and noted that Council Members Atwood, Boyd, Call, Wilson and Jensen were present. 2. Opening Remarks Opening Remarks were given by Engineer Degen Lewis. 3. Department Report (Fire Department) Prior to their department presentation, Chief Sanderson said he would like to honor the three top finishers in the firemen's competition that took place in September (of this year) during the Heritage Festival in the downtown park. As he called their names, the firemen came forward. In first place, Fireman Stan Andreason had a time of 5.24. In second, Fireman Eric Campbell had a time of 4.40. In third, Fireman Kevin Dickerson had a time of 4.41. He said the competition took place with the firemen in their turn-outs and with full breathing apparatus on. The Mayor and Council congratulated the firemen for their good work. Pleasant Grove City Council Work Session Minutes October 28, 2008 7 p.m. Chief Sanderson next told the Council and Mayor that he had asked Deputy Chief Dave Thomas to explain to them about the recent ISO (Insurance Services Office) rating the fire department had been through. Deputy Thomas then came forward and explained that the ISO rating given Pleasant Grove City was a "6." He said last year's rating was a five. This year's six rating was actually considered a step down for the department. However, Chief Thomas said that the rating was a little more complicated than it first appeared. He indicated that the rating is about risks. He said information is collected from the community that is based on fire suppression as well as the department's capabilities, etc. He added that insurance companies look at a City's ISO rating when they set premiums for both private residences, as well as public and commercial buildings. Mayor Daniels asked if the report recommended ways that the City can move up in the ratings. Deputy Chief Thomas said yes, there were ways, but that they would be fairly difficult for the City to accomplish at this time. He said he would next explain why. Deputy Chief Thomas then told the Mayor and Council that the inspector for the ISO said that the City would need several upgrades in order to move up in the ratings. First, he said they needed automatic monitoring of the dispatching. He also said they would want the City to have better backup with the dispatching as far as emergency power. Next, the rating agency said that the City would need to have three instead of two fire engines. He said that they require (on each run) that there are two engines that respond to every call—with one reserve engine to take additional calls. Also, he said when the agency was rating Pleasant Grove's fire department; the Safer Grant for the current full-time employees had not quite come through as yet. Deputy Chief Thomas said the agency also suggested that for a higher rating, the City should actually have three engines; with an additional fourth engine being used as backup. He also said the rating requires a ladder truck, which Pleasant Grove currently does not have. Council Member Call then asked if he understood correctly that the ISO rating was saying that the City needed to own three trucks, plus a back-up truck. Deputy Thomas said yes, that was correct. He said they require a reserve engine capacity in order to get the higher rating. Next, he said that distribution was also used for the ratings. This would include the fact that the rating agency requires a station every 1.5 miles. In order to fix this, the City would have to build more fire stations. He explained that since the Safer Grant had not quite come through when this evaluation took place, the City was being asked to obtain more full-time personnel for a higher rating. He said that the agency requires four full-time personnel per engine. He said if the City had the required three engines, they would require 12 full-time personnel. Deputy Thomas said the last category the agency suggested the City work on was regarding training. He said the department is actually excellent with their on-going training. However, the problem has been precise record keeping. He said they will upgrade their reporting system for the training that was being done. He added that between 80 and 90% of the calls that they go out on are EMS calls. He also said they do structure training. Regarding water supply, Deputy Thomas said that there have not (historically) been great inspections by the fire department (in the past) of the water hydrants and water supply. He said the ISO inspector checked a total of 51 hydrants. A total of 6 out of 79 were not usable. Deputy Thomas said he is working with Director Walker and Public Works to see that those hydrants that need work be brought up to the standard they need to be at. He said the firemen will work in cooperation with Public Works crews to inspect the fire hydrants in the future. Deputy Thomas then said that in conclusion of his report, that he would suggest that the City does not, at this time, need to respond to most of the upgrades that are reported. He said that the inclusion of two more fire trucks and the building of more fire stations are probably not budgeted for at this time. This would be projects for the future, he suggested. Mayor Daniels agreed. He said that the ideal is good, but that the real indicator of improved service is more the fact that the response time is now down two thirds. However, the Mayor did say that he would be curious if the ISO rating went from 6 to a 5, how it would impact residential fire insurance rates in the City. He also added that the department shouldn't worry about getting a #1 rating; but rather continue with saving lives and preventing fires. Deputy Thomas said that Pleasant Grove falls in the middle of the state average for an ISO rating, which is between 5 and 6. Council Member Call asked how the rating might change since the Safer grant for additional full-time personnel came through prior to the ISO rating. Deputy Thomas said that the City might only be able to get three or four more points, at best. Council Member Wilson said he was proud of the department. He also said he felt they were doing a great job at upgrading as a department. "You've come a long way," he said. Mayor Daniels agreed. He said that the department should be commended for doing such an excellent job. Council Member Boyd then thanked the fire department personnel for supporting the Heritage Festival over the years by continuing to hold their competition in conjunction with the celebration. She also said she thought it was fun this year to see the fire/EMS personnel intermingling in the downtown park with residents. 4. Budget Review Mayor Daniels said that he had asked Director Clay to address the Council regarding the budget. The Mayor said that there has been a lot of media coverage recently about local communities that are having to lay-off personnel due to budget cuts. Mayor Daniels said that he has also been hearing about problems in other cities in regard to budgets and finances in county meetings that he attends. Director Clay then came forward. He told the Mayor and Council that the City is in, "good," shape, financially. He said that sales tax revenues are down about 2.3% from last year at this time. He said, however, that he anticipated this drop, and they budgeted accordingly. He also said that with 25% of the budget year gone, that only 23% of the General Fund budget had been expended. There was no problem with the enterprise fund, he noted. Council Member Jensen asked if other quarters were more expensive during the year. Director Clay said yes, during the summer when the pool was open was an expensive quarter. Council Member Call then observed that the numbers in the report (that Director Clay handed to the Council) looked good. Director Clay then explained that the sales tax and franchise tax revenue reports are always two months behind. He said that at this time, there are no property taxes coming in, also. Council Member Boyd asked if the monies go into an interest-bearing account. Director Clay said that Treasurer Bezzant sends the excess to the State Treasurer's office. He said the interest rate is better for the City, and monies, if needed, can be sent to the City in a few hours. He said Treasurer Bezzant is excellent in these matters. Director Clay explained that these funds can be used if revenues do come down a bit in paying those areas that might be a little short. Director Clay then explained that the Council receives reports from his office each month.

CASE STUDY / FINANCIAL Infocyte MSSP partner uses HUNT to identify malware, ransomware, adware, and more on payment gateways prior to activation. Infocyte HUNT THE CUSTOMER The bank is a major regional financial institution that suffered a significant undisclosed data breach. Specifically, the bank had been the target of unknown/zero-day malware which was discovered accidentally, following the notice of abnormal network communications. A third party was contracted to conduct Incident Response work, upon the completion of which the bank sought to validate that no further malware was residing undetected on its critical infrastructure with the help of an independent MSSP. ASSET DISCOVERY + THREAT HUNTING + VULNERABILITIES + INCIDENT RESPONSE THE PARTNER A large, award-winning multinational systems integrator servicing customers from small businesses to large enterprises. The MSSP arm is a security practice that combines consulting, design, products and services to provide end-to-end solutions to deliver highly resilient and secure infrastructure. The partner has designed, integrated, and implemented some of the most secure networks in the region. The Partner was contracted by the Customer to deliver managed security services in the form of a Compromise Assessment on the critical infrastructure of the bank. THE PROCESS The scope of work included a full compromise assessment, completed on endpoints that the bank considered or identified as critical assets, across the bank's entire network of critical assets and endpoints. The MSSP partner provided the environmental and system requirements necessary for optimal functioning of Infocyte HUNT to the customer. These requirements mirrored the bank's existing enterprise management tools' protocols and settings, resulting in minimal customer effort to prep the environment. Further, HUNT was able to perform all scans without impacting the bank's productivity and resulted in zero downtime. The Infocyte HUNT server was installed into the customer environment in less than ten minutes, with the first active scans completing within twenty minutes of the start of the engagement. It is worth noting that a small number of the endpoints in scope (fewer than ten) were not connected to the network; these endpoints were scanned offline and the results were imported into HUNT to complete the full scope of work. The full engagement was completed in four days, and included multiple scans of the endpoints in scope. The secondary and tertiary scans were completed by the end of day two, while the analysis and report creation were finalized and delivered at the end of day four. THE DISCOVERY Within minutes of the first completed scans, the partner found a 5.3MB executable injected into the LSASS process with read, write, and execute privileges. Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) is a process in Microsoft Windows operating systems that is responsible for enforcing security policy on the system. The injected memory was unmapped into a native PE file structure and submitted to HUNT's AI-powered Incyte engine for static, heuristic, and IOC analysis. This data was later enhanced with supplemental information from other feeds in our file intelligence services. The injected memory in question was assessed and given a threat score of 10 using our scoring system because it was identified as malware based on signatures of three AV vendors. Today, this same sample would be confirmed as malware by over thirty different AV vendors. Infocyte HUNT: Compromise Assessment SUMMARY * Scope: Critical banking infrastructure * Term of engagement: 4 days * Date of engagement: February 2018 * Resources to deliver: 1 person * Scan type: Critical assets/endpoints * First results in less than 20 minutes KEY FINDINGS * Wannacry ransomware * Adware ANCILLARY FINDINGS * Unauthorized Remote Access Tools * Unauthorized File Sharing Tools * Disabled A/V * Abuse of Administrative Accounts * Hackware * Riskware * Generally unwanted software HUNT's synapse score identified the memory inject as a probable piece of malware with a score of -0.692. The synapse score is calculated using AI, based on forensic characteristics of the file compared against a database of millions of artifacts. With this intelligence data, our partner concluded the file posed a threat to the bank's network. The team also used these findings to refine existing tools and policies, strengthening the bank's overall security posture. HUNT results—scores, score breakdown, AV summary, and entropy. THE RESULTS * Ransomware was removed from the payment gateway before it had an opportunity to activate * The same ransomware HUNT found was also detected on another enterprise endpoint * The gateway and secondary endpoint were rescanned to validate remediation, before concluding the engagement * Had the ransomware activated, the cost to the bank would have been in the tens of thousands of dollars — per hour; redundancies were non-functional at the time THE CONCLUSION Infocyte HUNT allowed the MSSP partner to successfully protect the bank from the inevitable activation of the ransomware found. Over the course of the assessment, other significant insights were made and recommenda­ tions suggested. Operational concerns had led to an erosion of defensive measures, placing the bank at an unnecessary risk. Some defenses were also quite dated and required modernization. These conclusions offered value to both the customer and the partner, validating the consultancy work delivered by the partner and resulting in a stronger defensive cybersecurity posture for the bank and its network. "Infocyte HUNT allowed us to deliver a full compromise assessment and consulting for our customer, in record time without business interruption.

Sekiguchi 4 1 National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China 2 Subaru Telescope, National Astronomical Observatory, Japan 3 Hiroshima Astrophysical Science Center, Hiroshima University, Japan 4 National Astronomical Observatory, Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The Ali observatory, NAOC, was established recently on the high plateau in southwest of Tibet, as the result of long-term site survey in western China. This paper briefly reviews the site characteristics of Tibetan site, and introduces the current status of Ali observatory and construction plan in coming years. 1. Site Testing in Tibet The site survey in western China has been carried out since 2003, in order to identify appropriate sites for constructing large and medium-size telescopes for East-Asian communities[1]. Remote studies and local surveys are performed over the vast land of plateaus in western China[2, 3]. Two candidate sites, called Karasu, on Pamirs, and Oma, on Ali plateau in Tibet, are selected in 2005, and site testing observations have been deployed to make the first phase measurements. Cloud coverage, seeing, and precipitable water vapor(PWV) are taken as the most important parameters to evaluate the sites, and meteorological parameters, sky brightness, as well as ground layer turbulence when available(Sasaki et al., in this proceedings), are also measured. 2. Site Testing Results at Oma The cloud coverage and meteorological parameters at Oma site are observed totally 906 days in two periods of 2005-2006 and 2008-2010(Fig.1). With strict criteria, the clear rate in daytime is measured to be 56%, and in nightime 68%; the rates of useful days and nights are 72% and 75%, respectively. The mean temperature and the difference at night are measured to be -1.9 ◦ C and 3.3 ◦ C. The median relative humidity is 30%, and median wind speed 6.4m/s, with rather stable wind directions. The strong wind over 11m/s during nigh occurs only 13%[4]. The PWV is measured by monitoring the optical atmospheric absorption lines of sunlight. The median PWV values are 2.2mm in the 2005-2006 observing period and 1.3mm in the 20082010 period, and generally less than 1.0mm in autumn-winter season. The DIMM seeing has been measured typically with 5ms or 10ms exposure; the median seeing is 0.92", with 22% measurements less than 0.8". The median seeing value in autumn season drops to 0.74". 3. The New Ali Observatory The Ali observatory, NAOC, is located at N32 ◦ 19'&E80 ◦ 01', with an altitude of 5100m. The new site has been identified in 2009 and begun construction in 2010, for both site testing and small telescope projects. One of the main advantages of Ali site is near the central town of Ali area, called Shiquanhe, so that the observatory can be easily sustained. The Ali airport is open in 2010, making it possible to fly from Ali to Beijing within one day, or from Beijing to Ali by two days, affording one day acclimation in Lhasa. The Ali Observatory comes into works in July 2011(Fig.1). There are two domes constructed in October 2010, and 25KW solar power electrical supply and satellite communication antenna are completed in May 2011. There are also electrical power and fiber network lines from Shiquanhe town pass the way on summit to the Ali airport. Following the site selection process of ELT projects, we have identified Ali area in Tibet as the best for astronomical observations, and will further concentrate more than one year on detailed site characterization. All the related site testing instruments will be installed by October 2011. A Scidar system for turbulence profile(Liu et al. in this proceedings) is planned to make the first on-site run during 2011 autumn-winter season. The sites such as Ali observatory, with high altitudes over 4000m, could open new avenues for classical astronomy with an extension of the atmospheric window[5]. Our further effort is to make a middle size telescope and related instruments involving infrared and submm wavebands[6]. References [1] Yao, Y. 2005, J. Korean Astron.

COVAX Facility Explainer Participation Arrangements for Self-Financing Economies Speed, Scale, Access Overview The goal of the COVAX Facility is to ensure equitable access to all economies and ensure that income is not a barrier to access. The COVAX Facility serves as an invaluable insurance policy for participants to secure access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines through its actively managed portfolio of vaccine candidates across a broad range of technologies. The Facility provides all participants access to the same vaccine candidates, on the same accelerated timeline in an effort to end the COVID-19 pandemic as quickly as possible. Upon joining the Facility, a self-financing participant will be requested to indicate the share of its population (between 10-50%) it wishes to cover through vaccine doses provided by the Facility. Recognising that the Facility will be operating in a supply constrained environment for some period of time, a consistent methodology is required to decide how available vaccine supply is allocated to self-financing participants and COVAX AMC Eligible Economies. The Facility will apply the Allocation Framework, under development by WHO, as the basis for allocation decisions, subject to periodic review by self-financing participants and COVAX AMC Eligible Economies. However, funding limitations, insufficient readiness to receive vaccines, or decisions to defer or forego an allocation on the part of one participant will not delay allocations to other participants. The Facility is also committed to meeting a participants' preferred choice of vaccine and will endeavor to do so despite uncertainty about which vaccines will be available, when, and at what scale. The Facility aims to facilitate trading of allocations of vaccine for all participants through the establishment of a proposed COVAX Exchange. This is envisaged to be a marketplace to trade allocations of vaccines to allow each participant to optimise for their individual needs taking into account regulatory and territorial restrictions that may exist. COVAX Exchange will be co-created with both self-financing participants and COVAX AMC Eligible Economies. Approved vaccines available for purchase through the Facility require WHO prequalification or on an exceptional basis, at a minimum, licensure/ authorisation from a Speed, Scale, Access stringent regulatory authority in place. A vaccine which has an emergency use authorisation or WHO Emergency Use Listing may also be purchased if agreed to by the participant. The Facility will negotiate Advance Purchase Agreements with vaccine manufacturers on behalf of participants to secure access to vaccine doses in specified volumes, delivery timetables and prices. The Facility will endeavor to negotiate the best possible pricing from manufacturers that is lower than or at least no higher than pricing manufacturers have agreed in bilateral deals. The cost per dose will vary by vaccine and manufacturer and the Facility will pass-through the actual, negotiated price to participants. The deals negotiated between the Facility and the manufacturers will dictate the final price of the vaccine and whether the pricing structure is flat/ single or tiered. The Facility has set out plans to make $5.7 billion of investments into the acceleration of manufacturing scale-up to secure 2 billion doses and vaccinate 1 billion people (assuming a 2dose regimen). These investments include down payments on Advance Purchase Commitments with manufacturers, inventory and reservation fees, manufacturing scale-up, and tech transfer. The Facility estimates that an additional $500 million is needed for financing, insurance, and Facility operating/management costs (the latter estimated to be $50m or ~0.2% of total expected Facility costs). Therefore, the total investments required for the Facility to get started are $6.2 billion or $3.10 per dose or $6.20 per person. Any unused funding will be returned to participants. The COVAX Facility is offering two arrangements for self-financing entities wishing to join. In the "Committed Purchase" arrangement, participants make a lower upfront payment of $1.60/dose or $3.20/person and provide a financial guarantee of $8.95/dose or $17.90/person. A Committed Purchase participant may only opt out of candidates if it indicates in its Commitment Agreement that it is not interested in purchasing vaccines with prices exceeding $21.10/dose, which is twice the allinclusive estimated weighted average cost per dose. In the "Optional Purchase" arrangement, a participant makes an upfront payment covering its full pro-rata share of the investments required by the Facility to enter into agreements with manufacturers and accelerate scale/access ($3.10/dose or $6.20/person as outlined above). In return, these participants receive the ability to decide which candidates they are interested in purchasing from their allocation of the Facility's portfolio. While the upfront payment for the Optional Purchase is larger than for the Committed Purchase, the all-inclusive costs are expected to be the same for both arrangements. The governance and decision-making rights of self-financing participants are the same under both arrangements. Participants will purchase vaccines either through their own processes or through mechanisms such as UNICEF Supply Division or PAHO Revolving Fund and will be subject to the terms of the arrangement between the participant and the procurement agent or manufacturer. Any cost associated with utilizing such a mechanism will be paid separately by the participant. Speed, Scale, Access Detailed descriptions of the two arrangements Committed Purchase Arrangement In this arrangement, participants will commit to purchase allocations of approved vaccines from the Facility. Because participants provide a financial guarantee, they are asked to make a lower upfront payment.  Upfront payment: Participants will make an upfront payment of $1.60 per dose or $3.20 per person and will provide a financial guarantee of $8.95 per dose or $17.90 per person. 1 The firm commitments of these participants will be used by the Facility to leverage different financial instruments to complement the lower upfront payment (e.g., debt financing). participants financial guarantee, participants will pay less than the financial guarantee and may choose to have that guarantee returned or use to procure additional volumes (if available). If the actual price is higher than the estimated allinclusive price, participants are only committed to pay the total commitment amount set out in the Commitment Agreement (even if this covers less than the indicated coverage of the population), but will have the option to procure doses up to the desired quantity for an additional cost.  Committed purchases: Participants will procure the full number of doses of the allocated vaccine at the actual price agreed with the manufacturer. If the actual price is lower than the estimated all-inclusive cost which is the basis for the  Opting-out: Participants will have the ability to opt-out of candidates based on price only. To do so, a participant will have to indicate in their Commitment Agreement that they will not accept a price greater than double the estimated allinclusive price per dose of $10.55. This means that the Facility would not reserve doses for a participant for any vaccine costing more than $21.10 per dose. This could cause a participant to experience delays in receiving vaccines if more expensive vaccines are approved first. 1 Approximately 15% of the estimated all-inclusive cost per dose. The quoted cost estimates are determined by the Office of the COVAX Facility based on proxy data and latest available pricing information from manufacturer engagement for the portfolio of vaccines under consideration. Speed, Scale, Access Committed Purchase Arrangement Example: Scenario 42M Population 70 million Elected coverage 30% of the population Two-dose vaccine regimen Full allocation 42 million doses Population (70 million) x Elected coverage (30%) x Two- dose vaccine regimen (2 doses) Down payment $1.60 per dose Financial guarantee $8.95 per dose Required by Oct. 9th, 2020 Total down payment Total estimated doses (42 million doses) x Down payment ($1.60 per dose) Financial guarantee Total estimated doses (42 million doses) x Financial guarantee ($8.95 per dose) $67.2 million $375.9 million Speed, Scale, Access Optional Purchase Arrangement In this arrangement, a participant will be able to decide whether to purchase any approved vaccine allocated to them, while retaining the ability to receive its full share of doses of other approved vaccines, subject to supply becoming available. Deciding not to purchase a particular candidate may delay the time until a participant receives doses particularly in the initial phase where there may only be one or two approved vaccines available and the quantities could be limited.  Initial payment: Participants will pay the full upfront payment of $3.10 per dose, which is equivalent to $6.20 per person assuming a twodose regimen, to reserve options to purchase vaccine doses through the Facility. In this arrangement there will not be any need to use other financial instruments like debt to fund the pre-approval costs incurred by the Facility, as the participant covers their full pro rate share of the pre- approval costs. A regional organisation could provide payments on behalf of its Member States. Options: Participants will be able to a decide which vaccines it will purchase, for example taking into consideration national vaccine strategies. If a participant decides not to purchase a specific vaccine, it is possible that it could lead to a delay in receiving doses from the Facility until volumes of different approved vaccines are secured. There will be two windows in time that the participant may decide on a certain candidate –

New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs of GFWC Jan Hanson, President Let Our Voices Soar BULLETIN - SEPTEMBER 2020 Maribeth Hugelmeyer, Historian [email protected] Email: Please take the time to review the Supplements for the 2020-2021 club year that you recently received. The Women's History Supplement can supply you with helpful information on easy at home projects that can be done. A copy of the Women's History Supplement can also be found in the NJSFWC State Yearbook. If your club has decided to have Zoom meetings, or small group gatherings, here is an idea for an informative program. Ask several members to research a notable New Jersey Woman, a past NJSFWC State President or even a notable Suffragist. Information can be found online.

Policy: 2024 Section: 2000 - Instruction Online Learning The Board of Directors believes that a variety of learning options, including online courses and programs, are critical for 21st century learners. The board recognizes that the online learning environment provides students with unique opportunities to become self-disciplined learners with life-long learning skills. Further, the board believes that online learning provides tremendous opportunities for students to access curriculum and specialized courses in a flexible learning environment that might not otherwise be available. Therefore, the board supports a range of online learning opportunities that are equally accessible to all students in the school district. The board directs the superintendent to provide information to parents, students and staff regarding online learning options and the guidelines for participation. The superintendent or designee will develop procedures to implement this policy. The procedures will include, but not be limited to, a description of student access to online learning courses/grade level coursework, student eligibility criteria, the types of online courses available to students, methods the district will use to support student success, payment of course fees and other costs, granting of course credit, and conditions under which no credit will be awarded.

sES April 10, 2020 r. "ANTI-CRISIS SHIELD" REGULATIONS REGARDING COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENTS 1. Background and reasons for the introduction of new regulations. Due to the state of epidemics declared in Poland, and previously the state of epidemic danger, trade operations of the majority of tenants operating in shopping centres having sales area exceeding 2,000 square metres, as well as many tenants of spaces located outside such facilities, have been banned or restricted. As a result, many tenants have lost the opportunity to generate revenue from their operations, yet remaining bound by lease agreements of closed shops. Such restrictions also indirectly affect the tenants whose business activity has not been banned or restricted, but who are still suffering losses due to drastic decrease in the number of customers. Polish law system provides for solutions regulating the effects of extraordinary changes of legal relations that could be applied in such circumstances. However, the legislator has found these solutions insufficient and decided that finding suitable solutions should not be left to the entrepreneurs being party to relevant lease agreements. As a result, the legislator has decided to intervene into the civil law relations shaped by the parties to such agreements. Under the so called "anti-crisis shield" legislation, for the period of duration of the restrictions described above, a solution has been introduced consisting in expiry of mutual obligations of the parties to lease agreements and other agreements of similar nature related to the use of retail areas. This solution has been included in the Act of March 31, 2020 on amendment of the Act on special solutions related to the prevention, counteraction and eradication of COVID-19, other contagious diseases and relating crisis situations, and other acts (Journal of Law 2020, item 568, hereinafter referred to as the "Act"). The aim of this study is to analyse the scope and legal effects of the above regulations, including potential legal problems related to their application. The authors' views presented in this study are only of general nature, so in order to assess any individual case in responsible manner all relevant details of such case, such as the content of a given lease agreement or the specifics of the leased premises and tenant's operations, will have to be taken into consideration. 2. Main content of the new regulations. Pursuant to Article 15ze section 1 of the Act, during the period of restrictions on business activity conducted in shopping centres having sales area exceeding 2,000 m 2 (hereinafter referred to as the "large format retail facilities"), i.e., as of March 14, 2020, the mutual obligations of parties to lease, tenancy or other similar agreement, by which the retail space is let for use (hereinafter, for simplification, collectively referred to as the "lease agreements") shall expire. The above provision has been formulated in a way deviating from the proper legislative art and, as a result, raises many interpretation doubts. It should be noted that these doubts are so material that their final resolution or clarification would require a statutory correction. Otherwise, it is likely that the interpretation of Article 15ze of the Act will be developed no sooner than by judicial decisions made as a result of most certainly unavoidable disputes as to the actual content of the legal norms resulting from this provision. 3. Scope of application Significant doubts concern the very scope of application of the provision of Article 15ze of the Act. These may be reduced to three fundamental questions: (1) whether the provision applies only to the lease agreements of the premises and spaces in large format retail facilities or does it also apply to lease agreements in smaller retail facilities, lease agreements of standalone facilities or retail premises located in larger buildings intended for other purposes (such as office buildings or residential buildings, etc.); (2) whether this provision applies only to lease agreements of retail space sensu stricto, which means shops, or should it also be applied to lease agreements of mixed retail-services space (e.g. restaurants or cafes), or finally to pure services (e.g. beauty services, health services, fitness, etc.); (3) whether this provision applies only to the lease agreements concluded with tenants who are prohibited or restricted from carrying out their business operations or also to those tenants that are allowed to carry out their business as usual or in a limited scope, but whose revenues have decreased due to the restrictions. As it is clear from the published reasons for the draft Act, the legislator, when introducing the provision in question, had in mind only the space in large format retail facilities, since most of the restrictions of business activity related to the epidemic concern just these facilities. However, a literal wording of this provision refers to a definition of such facilities only with respect to the term of expiry of contractual obligations, and not to the location of the premises being subject of the lease agreements covered by the provision, which is probably one of the legislator's omissions. Based on the literal wording of the provision, one may state that this provision refers to all lease agreements pertaining to retail space, including those located in retail facilities having sales areas not exceeding 2,000 m 2, standalone facilities or retail premises in buildings intended for other purposes (residential or office buildings). It is, however, very likely that in practice a literal interpretation of this provision will be amended to reflect to the deemed intention of the legislator i.e. to apply this provision only to lease agreements of premises in the large format retail facilities only. Reading the discussed provision literally, it should be stated that it applies only to agreements of lease of retail space and therefore it does not apply to agreements relating to space intended for provision of services, although it is possible that it applies to agreements of lease of mixed use – retail and services space (e.g. restaurants). However, it would appear from the published reasons of the Act that the legislator sought to extend this solution also to lease agreements of premises used for services in the large format retail facilities, which is not reflected in the provision. In the absence of a normative definition of the concept of "retail space", it is possible that judicial decisions in the disputes arising of the application of this provision may adopt a broader understanding of the concept of retail space, covering not only the space used for sale but also the space (premises) where the service activity is carried out. It is also not clear from this provision whether the expiry of obligations under the lease agreements applies only to the agreements with tenants whose business operations are restricted or also to the lease agreements with tenants who are not restricted in their operations (e.g. food supermarkets, DIY, catering, pharmacies, health, banking, insurance, postal, laundry services, etc.). Although it is known that the above mentioned restrictions have been the main reason for adoption of the provision in question, the legislator has omitted a wording which would limit its application to the agreements with tenants affected by such restrictions and/or those actually not operating because of them. It should be noted that such limitations were included in the original draft of this provision but were subsequently omitted in the course of legislative work. The justification of the Act indicates that the legislator wanted to extend the application of this provision also to the tenants that were not directly restricted to operate but their revenues decreased significantly due to a smaller number of customers visiting shopping centres. However, taking into consideration the objectives of the Act and the principle of equity, it would be difficult to accept that the tenants continuing to make full use of the leased premises should also be exempted from the contractual obligations, even if their turnover and revenues have been affected by the closure of other shops and other epidemic-related restrictions. In the absence of a clear definition of the scope of this provision, it is possible that tenants of this type of premises will also invoke the expiry of their lease obligations arising from this provision, and a final answer on the application of the provision in this respect shall be provided no sooner than by the courts' rulings. 4. Expiry of the contractual obligations or expiry of the whole agreement. Focusing on the effects of the provision of Article 15ze, the meaning of the term "expiry" which usually means a final termination of the agreement (i.e. legal relationship of lease), raises doubts. An analysis of the provision in question, also in the context of its reasons, leads to the conclusion that the legislator's intention was only to temporarily release the parties from their contractual obligations for the period of restrictions imposed on business activity, while maintaining the continuity of the contractual relationship itself, only temporarily devoid of most of its legal content (mutual obligations and related rights). It should be assumed that the legislator did not use here the term "suspension", which would seem more appropriate, deliberately, so that the mutual obligations of the parties for the duration of restrictions would be completely abolished and not just postponed. 5. Elements of the agreement subject to expiry. According to the exact wording of the provision, all obligations of both parties, i.e., the tenant and the landlord, arising from the lease or rental agreement, both main and additional ones, are subject to temporary expiration. Consequently, the obligations that expire on the part of the

or failure to submit such an offer, which will result in termination of the lease at the original date specified in the agreement, but with the obligation to pay all overdue payments under the lease agreement for the duration of the period of restrictions. It should be added that a tenant's offer to extend the lease for a period other than that provided for in the Act or under modified terms and conditions will be treated as not making such an offer at all and therefore will also result in the restoration of the tenant's extinguished obligations. Moreover, it should be noted that, even if the obligation to pay the contractual debts for the duration of the period of restrictions is reinstated as a result of the failure to submit the above offer, the tenant may seek exemption from or a reduction in the amount of those debts on the basis of the general provisions of the Civil Code set out in 9 below, relating to the consequences of an extraordinary change of circumstances, which is undoubtedly an epidemic of this scale and the restrictions and prohibitions introduced to combat it. It seems that, due to the special provisions in the Act, the landlord will not be able to claim additional compensation from the tenant for not submitting such an offer, although this will formally constitute a breach of the tenant's obligation under the Act. It should also be assumed that the landlord should not be entitled to claim interest on reinstated outstanding charges for the duration of the prohibition or to apply sanctions against the tenant for failure to pay these charges on their original due dates (e.g. to terminate the agreement for this reason), although this is not expressly provided for in the Act. In our opinion, the landlord is not obliged to accept the tenant's offer, such an obligation does not in any way derive from Article 15ze section 2, nor from its objectives. However, if the landlord does not accept the tenant's offer, this will not (as opposed to the tenant not submitting an offer on time) result in reversion of the 'expiration' of the contractual obligations for the duration of the restrictions. 9. Possibility to apply other provisions of the Civil Code. By virtue of Article 15ze section 4 of the Act, in cases covered by this provision, the possibility of applying the provisions of the Civil Code governing the parties' obligations in situations where legal restrictions on the freedom of business activity are introduced, is maintained. The above reference is unclear and misleading, as the Civil Code does not contain any provisions specifically addressing the effects of restrictions on the freedom of business activity. However, depending on the specific factual state, the general provisions of the Civil Code concerning exemption from liability for non-performance or improper performance of services, consequent impossibility of performance of services or extraordinary change of circumstances (rebus sic stantibus) may apply. It is most likely that these are the provisions that the legislator actually meant here. Claims arising from these provisions may be raised both by the parties to the agreements, to which Article 15 of the Act applies, as well as to those agreements to which the provision does not apply. 10. Possibility for the parties to regulate their relations differently. The last issue concerning the Art. 15ze of the Act, which we believe should be mentioned, is the assessment of its legal nature, i.e. whether its provisions are mandatory (ius cogens) or dispositive, and thus whether the parties to the lease may, by mutual agreement, adopt solutions deviating from, or even contradictory to those provided for in these provisions, for example, agree that for the period of restrictions on trade activity the tenant will pay partial rent or service charges with a simultaneous release from the obligation to submit an offer to extend the lease term. As a rule, whenever the legislator intends to make a given regulation mandatory, i.e. to exclude the possibility of its modification by the parties to the contract, it should include relevant wording to such effect, e.g. "contractual provisions contrary to § x are null and void". The provision of Art. 15ze of the Act does not provide such wording. Neither does the analysis of its purpose and function justify the conclusion that the parties to the lease agreement could not agree on different solutions. Therefore, it should be considered that this provision is of a dispositive nature and the parties to the lease agreement may, by way of an addendum to the agreement or a separate agreement, agree to apply solutions other than those provided for in the Act. In such a case however, it is recommended that the parties should expressly waive the possibility of exercising more further-reaching rights which they may be entitled to under the Act. 11. Possibility of extending the lease agreements until the end of June 2020 and the prohibition of their earlier termination. There are two provisions of the Act aiming at preservation of commercial lease agreements for the initially expected period of restrictions on trade activity, i.e. until June 30, 2020, should also be noted. First of these provisions is Article 31s of the Act, pursuant to which, if the duration of the lease agreement of premises, concluded before the date of entry into force of the Act (March 31, 2020) expires after that date, and before June 30, 2020, such agreement shall be extended until June 30, 2020, on present terms and conditions, provided that the tenant submits to the landlord the tenant's statement of will to extend the lease term, at the latest on the date of expiry of the lease agreement. However, the tenant shall not have the right to make such an extension statement in situations described in the aforementioned provision, i.e. in cases where the tenant previously committed material breaches of the agreement (arrears in payments for at least one payment period, using the premises contrary to the agreement or intended use, negligence which may lead to damage to the premises, subletting the premises without the landlord's consent). Second of these provisions is Article 31t of the Act, imposes on the landlords, until June 30, 2020, a ban on termination of lease agreements or termination of the amount of rent (the landlord's right under Article 685 1 of the Civil Code, often excluded in commercial leases), which does not apply in case of commercial leases, only in case of: (i) violation by the tenant of the provisions of the lease agreement or legal regulations concerning the manner of use of the premises or (ii) the necessity to demolish or renovate the building in which the premises are located. However, the above provision does not prevent the tenant from terminating the agreement (if the tenant is entitled to such termination) or the parties from terminating it by mutual agreement. 12. Summary. To summarise briefly the above regulations, a few points should be noted. Firstly, the above regulations, contrary to the declarations of the legislator, do not take into account the legitimate interests of both parties equally. The adopted solution is more advantageous to the tenants which may induce landlords to seek available legal solutions allowing them to cover, if not lost benefits, at least actual losses incurred as a result of the new regulation. Secondly, these provisions introduce legal solutions which have not been known so far and have not been tested in practice (temporary expiration of obligations), which, combined with their imprecise wording and ambiguous content (in particular section 1 of Article 15ze), create circumstances, which may certainly lead to long-term disputes between the parties to lease agreements. The above disputes and clarification of interpretative doubts related to these provisions by court rulings may take many years, unnecessarily burdening the relations between tenants and landlords and their business operations. In such circumstances, it should be strongly recommended in each case that the parties seek and work out amicable solutions and conclude appropriate agreements precisely regulating mutual relations for the duration of the epidemiological restrictions and their future fallout, which is legally admissible, since, as indicated above, the provisions in question are dispositive. Professional parties to commercial leases can reasonably be expected to seek such compromise solutions. The unprecedented situation that has arisen, the adverse effects of which affect all participants of the whole "ecosystem" of commercial real estate, makes it necessary for all interested parties to exceed their business habits developed in other circumstances, bearing in mind that the current crisis, however deep, will sooner or later pass, and the attitude that individual participants will present during this difficult period will be remembered and may positively consolidate but also negatively burden future relations.
