represents. Brittany was a wealth of knowledge for the other’s to learn from and found herself taking on many leadership roles within the project. Final thoughts from Brittany…….”Being a CAM Rep helped me overcome my shyness and fear of public speaking. I really enjoyed traveling to different conferences and training because it gave me the opportunity to see new places, gain more knowledge, meet new people and obtain certificates. I would recommend the program to youth because it helps you break out of your shell and grow as an individual. Also, you gain valuable knowledge and certificates for future jobs.” Training & Conferences Attended: Assembly of First Nations Youth Summit CEPS Training (Cultural, Economic, Political, Social) Honoring Men in the Circle Conference Family Violence Implications Training First Aid/CPR Training (Standard C) A.F.O.A National Conference Circling Buffalo Orientation Aboriginal Community Warrior Training Brandy Swampy Opaskwayak Cree Nation Mentor – Patricia Dorion and Caroline Ducharme All through the project Brandy was placed at the Swampy Cree Tribal Council office on the Opaskwayak Cree Nation.

Recommendations are made for action at a national level that will maintain the leadership, direction and advocacy of the PESS programme and will support local authorities to work effectively, economically and with greater consistency across Wales. They are based primarily on the recommendations to local authorities, supported by evidence cited throughout the report. 6.7.1 Management and operation There is need for a national strategic plan for the PESS programme giving leadership and direction through A vision for the future of high quality physical education and school sport in Wales Challenging and measureable outcomes to be achieved with and through the local authority infrastructure ,with sufficient flexibility to be interpreted through local authority PESS strategic plans to meet their local priorities and stage of development Encourage, wherever possible, embedding PESS into the local authority Children and Young People and school improvement strategies so that it becomes an integral part of other national strategies, whole school improvement and professional learning networks. As part of the strategic planning process, review key roles and responsibilities and the professional development support required at each stage of the infrastructure to ensure cost effective and high quality implementation of the strategic plan and dissemination of effective practice. This should include: A national advisory group of experts in areas relevant to the strategy Development Centre Consultants PESS Co-ordinators Partnership Leaders Building on the strong reputation and high value placed on PESS, re focus resources to develop the infrastructure by building capacity, ensuring the long term sustainability of high quality professional development through PESS Create streamlined local authority reporting procedures that avoid duplication and multi-layered reporting and which relate to the strategic aims and outcomes of PESS. Reporting should be qualitative as well as quantitative. Co-ordinate internal and external reporting on the PESS programme so that it follows a consistent format is progressive year on year and relates to the strategic aims and outcomes. 6.7.2 Delivery
The committee members of the traffic committee was the Sheriff, 2 co-chair and our Executive Liaison. All members attended all meetings and worked the entire show from opening to closing. . Email was used to communicate with all members with follow up phone calls if detailed information was needed. Training: APV training was completed by all committee members and Sheriff's Personnel. Committee members that had not taken APV training were not allowed to drive the APVs Additional thoughts for a successful Farm Technology Days show There was some confusion about the responsibility for signage placement between the Sign committee and Traffic Committee. The Traffic Committee took over the task very late in the process. This task included designing the signage according to the Traffic Plan, setting it in place, and confirming the design with actual drives along the routes. Sign placement is critical to having good traffic flow. Traffic sign placement should be the responsibility of the Traffic group. We suggest a tow truck be on call for the duration of the Show. We had a number of stuck vehicles due to wet conditions and key lock outs. Communication and rapid mobility are critical to making appropriate responses to changing traffic flow. APVs are more appropriate to this committee than golf carts. You must be able to see or know what is happening in order to make a appropriate response. During the last 6-8 weeks staffing changes were made to make sure traffic flowed in and out of lots. Sheriff Dept staff were taken off the ground patrol and placed in traffic intersections or parking area to peak times. Staffing of ground patrol can be done with 4 -5 officers as we allowed officers to come to the command post area during the down time and walked the grounds also. Put a majority of Law Enforcement on the traffic routes

An estimate of the mean concentration of a chemical in a food or dietary intake assuming analytical results reported as below the LoD are equal to the value of the LoD. Appendix 2. Food preparation instructions for foods requiring cooking Frozen cassava root Dividing retail samples into groups The nine retail samples were divided into three groups ensuring that no two of the same brand were in one group. Group 1 (retails samples 1, 2 & 3) were prepared using method 1 (boiling); Group 2 (retail samples 4, 5 & 6) were prepared using method 2 (frying); Group 3 (retail samples 7, 8 & 9) were prepared using method 3 (steaming). Sizing Cassava roots were cut to a ‘standard’ size prior to being cooked. For whole tubers: Each tuber was cut lengthways into four pieces. The thickness of the pieces for each tuber could vary depending on the diameter of the cassava tubers in the pack. Therefore, if necessary, large tubers were cut again (still lengthways), so that the largest section did not exceed about 4 cm. Each piece was shortened to approximately 10 cm long. For ready cut pieces: 1. Where necessary, pieces were cut again, lengthways, so that the largest section did not exceed about 4 cm. 2. Where necessary, each piece was shortened to approximately 10 cm long. The inner thread was removed in cases where it appeared stringy and inedible. Every effort was made to proceed with cooking as soon as possible after cutting. Cooking For each of the three retail samples in each group, half of the packet’s contents was set aside to analyse raw and half of the contents to analyse cooked. Each portion was clearly labelled to allow for later comparison of raw and cooked values (and calculation of adjustment factors). Group 1/Method 1 - Boiling 1. Cassava pieces were not washed before boiling. 2. Pieces were placed in a saucepan and boiling water was poured over them, enough to cover. 3. The pieces were boiled for 20-25 minutes OR until tender (like boiling potatoes). 4. The cooked cassava pieces were drained immediately and completely, using a colander. Cooking water was discarded.
Recommendation: changes to the item descriptor and explanatory notes for all urgent after-hours items Taskforce recommendation Item What it does What would be different Why Revise item descriptor for the urgent after-hours items. Restrict the use of these items to GPs and other medical practitioners working within a general practice setting. 597, 598, 599, 600 These items cover an urgent attendance by a doctor in the afterhours period. Consumers will continue to have access to urgent services that are provided by GPs who provide after-hours care in addition to their in-hours practice. Any organisation that primarily provides care in the after-hours period will no longer be able to claim these items and will instead claim the non-urgent after-hours items. The growth in claiming of urgent after-hours GP attendances by MDSs which operate only in the after-hours period is supporting low-value care. These services are provided at a high cost to the MBS relative to other GP services and many urgent after-hour services are not urgent but are being claimed at this higher cost. In support of high-value care, GPs who provide after-hours care to their patients, their practice's patients or patients that attend another general practice that shares an after-hours roster will not be impacted by this proposal. In this setting it is more likely that there will be better assessment of patients, better access to patient records and better follow-up to ensure continuity of care. The higher rebate available to these GPs recognises the complexity of the service being delivered and the impact on GPs who work normal business hours and are then called out at night. Recommendation: changes to the item descriptor and explanatory notes for all urgent after-hours items Taskforce recommendation Item What it does What would be different Why Revise item descriptor for the urgent after-hours items, replacing the current wording of “the patient’s condition requires urgent medical treatment” with “the patient’s condition requires urgent medical assessment”. 597, 598, 599, 600 These items cover an urgent attendance by a doctor in the afterhours period. An assessment of a consumert will be the actual trigger for a service, recognising that treatment may not be necessary on the basis of that assessment. This change better reflects the service that is being delivered. If an assessment is not deemed to be urgent, then a rebate should be paid for a non-urgent after-hours item.
Concrete hydration, which is part of the chemical process of cement grout curing, has a heat of reaction that could potentially lead to temperature increases in the borehole. However, the period of heat generation is of the order of a few months. Treatment in the GSA Concrete hydration will have ended, and the associated heat dissipated, short after borehole closure. It is considered that the heat production during curing will not have a significant impact on the long-term safety of the borehole. Inclusion of FEP Excluded in all scenarios. 2.1.10.3 Temperature evolution Description A range of processes could potentially generate heat in a closed borehole (see FEPs 2.1.10.1 and 2.1.10.2). These processes could contribute to temperature profiles across the borehole and into the host rock. Although the effect on temperature may only be temporary, it could have a permanent effect on borehole safety if it causes cracking in any backfill, concrete structures and the immediately surrounding host rock. Water flow rates might increase and gas could migrate more easily. Treatment in the GSA It is considered that the temperature rise in the borehole will be limited for Category 3 to 5 sources (see FEPs 2.1.10.1 and 2.1.10.2). Therefore, isothermal conditions are assumed for the GSA for Category 3 to 5 sources. For Category 1 and 2 sources, calculations in Section 3.2 of the current report show that non-isothermal conditions initially exist in the borehole for the highest activity sources with peak temperatures of up to 275 °C in the capsule and slightly over 100 °C in the borehole backfill. Isothermal conditions are established after around 50 years for the Co-60 sources and 200 years for the Cs-137 sources. The impacts of these thermal conditions on other near-field FEPs are discussed under FEPs 2.1.2 to 2.1.9 above. Inclusion of FEP Excluded for Category 3 to 5 sources in all scenarios. Included for Category 1 and 2 sources.

Figure E.2.4: Fully enclosed netbook with SS500 eGRAF Spreadershield inside. Results Figure (E.2.5) shows the temperature at the interface of resistive heater and the graphite sheet as a function of time until the temperature reaches a steady state as defined in procedure (ΔT < ± 0.5 °C/min). Test results are shown for a thermal power input of 10 and 12W. Figure E.2.5: Temperature vs. time results of the graphite sheet. Analysis In analyzing the data the temperature is graphed as a function of time from start of wattage setting. This should produce a roughly logarithmic increase curve. However, the software used did not allow a logarithmic recession due to low R values. A polynomial recession was used in its stead. To find the approximate temperature that the heater would reach given more time the maximum of the 2nd order polynomial was found for each test. This maximum was found by the standard of finding the derivative of the function and setting it equal to 0 and solving for time and then temperature. Example The polynomial regression from Microsoft Excel for the enclosed .76mm cut graphite sheet with 12 Watts of power added is calculated using equations (E.2.2) through (E.2.6). y = -0.0062x^2 + 0.3447x + 54.414 (E.2.2) dy/dx = -0.0124x + .3447 = 0 (E.2.3) x = 27.8 min (E.2.4) y = -.0062(27.8^2) + .3447(27.8) + 54.414 (E.2.5) y = 59.2°C (E.2.6) The steady state temperature calculated for the maximum graphite temperature is shown in table (E.2.1) for a thermal power input of 10 and 12W.
There is evidence that the relationship between having multiple long-term conditions and experiencing psychological distress is exacerbated by socioeconomic deprivation A significant part of the explanation for poorer clinical outcomes is that co-morbid mental health problems can reduce a person’s ability to actively manage their physical health conditions Detection of co-morbid mental health problems in those with long-term health conditions is not done to a consistently high standard, and often goes undetected Innovative forms of collaborative care (as modelled within this Shine project) demonstrate that providing support for co-morbid mental health needs can reduce physical health costs in acute hospitals and integrated treatment for mental and physical health has better outcomes than overlaying mental health interventions on top of medical treatment Clinical commissioning groups should prioritise integrating mental and physical health care more closely as a key part of their strategies to improve quality and productivity in health care Part 4: Learning from your project The key aims of this project were met which was to successfully introduce collaborative psychological care within an oral and maxillofacial trauma outpatient service in a busy London secondary care hospital. The enablers that helped us to achieve this were: Pre-existing relationships between Institute of Psychotrauma and oral and maxillofacial department (through prior two-year research project) meant mutual respect, confidence and trust between teams was high. This facilitated rapid implementation of service and each team had clear, shared expectations for service model Highly competent clinical psychology staff that included clinical psychologists with service development and entrepreneurial skills, the ability to liaise and lead the MDT to implement service changes, high level communication skills, the capacity to function independently and autonomously within non-mental health setting, the ability to creatively respond to and find solutions to barriers to the service and devise research and disseminate the pilot project at a high level Commitment, enthusiasm, openness and buy-in from lead oral and maxillofacial surgeons and medical team Culture of collaborative and consultative working within the oral and maxillofacial team Inclusion of research staff within team to facilitate evaluation Active engagement from patient representatives that informed service iterations and leant service development ecological credibility MDT buy-in was enhanced over time through responsiveness to clinical need; clinical psychologist ‘going the extra mile’ for particularly complex patients, e.g., occasional in-patient assessments, regular board meetings and rapid communications around these and research expertise of psychology team to support publication output
Mr. Bangura’s presentation was based on the framework depicted below developed by Context Masters, a Dutch training institution that specialises in training for migrants. In Figure 1 below the wide spectrum of diaspora enterprises that exist is depicted. Based on this framework and drawing from the experiences of diaspora entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone, he highlighted that the endeavours of diaspora and migrant entrepreneurs combine profitable business initiatives with charity/social enterprises with low profitability both in The Netherlands and in Sierra Leone/in countries of origin. In responding to the four questions raised above, he articulated further on : What makes migrant/diaspora enterprises different: Drawing from the experiences of returnee migrants in Sierra Leone, migrant/diaspora entrepreneurs run businesses that require high education and start-up capital. Their focus is on hot spots and targeted sectors mainly agriculture and service sectors for instance ICTs to fill gaps in the supply chain which in many developing countries are weak. The nature of their operation: They are organized through informal and formal business networks that facilitate connections to the supply chain. In Sierra Leone for example there are diaspora networks, business SMEs that use their connections to lobby for policy change. Amongst diaspora in Sierra Leone, the connection to supply chain is strong. In Sierra Leone for example, a number of diaspora enterprises came together to provide transport to the mining sector by grouping together and used their unique advantage to penetration the market. In addition, as is the case elsewhere, diaspora entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone have powerful political orientation and being diaspora they remain sensitive towards the social impact of their interventions and ensuring community participation. How diaspora enterprises position themselves within the domestic environment in the homelands: They are truly transnational and have cultural, social and financial capital that facilitates their undertakings. Diaspora entrepreneurs are risk oriented. They are often more willing to engage in business activities in high-risk or emerging markets. They also have the “First mover” advantage because they know where opportunities are, and make use of such opportunities when investing in or
categories in place and each document is assigned to exactly one of the specified categories. If any document does not use words from any category’s word list frequently enough to be considered significant, Piranha categorizes it as “unknown”. When Piranha clusters the articles, the clusters themselves do not change, but the bars depicted below each cluster’s folder icon are now color-coded to represent the ratios of categories to which their articles belong. This allows for further pattern identification, as a trend between two categories is immediately more noticeable due to the color coding. Following the above procedure, categories for specific types of cancer, for climate, and for genetics were created. Clusters were generated for different threshold values, different stop word combinations, and combinations of both stop word groups and varied threshold values. In each case, previously unidentified clusters that appeared to reveal an unusual trend were examined. Figure 4 depicts the representation of the cluster from Figure 3 with the category option being used. Piranha is also able to distinguish whether articles were all uploaded from the same place or if they were uploaded from many different locations. This allows users to utilize the document categories option. When this option is used, the bars depicted below each folder icon are color coded based on the origin of the articles included in that folder’s cluster. Like the regular categories’ color coding option, this gives an immediate visual representation of the relative makeup of each cluster. However, users may not simultaneously color code the document clusters with Piranha categories option and the document categories option.
