The Commission proposed clarification of the variable for the percentage of homes with electric water heating (ELEC) by specifying the implied default as “Unknown” and further adding the EDC data gathering options as “Electric” and “Fossil Fuel.” For clarity, a new column, titled “ELEC,” would be added to the Default Savings Table in order to provide the variable values for the default savings calculations. Additionally, the table would be expanded to provide default savings values for a case in which the water heater fuel is known to be electric and the ELEC equals 100%. This variable clarification and default savings table expansion were proposed for the Low Flow Showerheads and Thermostatic Shower Restriction Valve protocols, as well. a. Comments The Joint Commentators suggest that the electric savings accommodate homes with a HPWH, which would provide fewer savings than a standard electric. Additionally, they suggest that the water heater Energy Factor (EF) be used instead of Recovery Efficiency (RE). These comments were made for Sections 2.3.8, 2.3.9 and 2.3.10. b. Disposition The Commission agrees that HPWHs should be able to be included in the savings analysis of these measures and has added the option to use a RE of 2.1 for homes with a HPWH. The default will remain 0.98 (standard electric) since the 2014 Residential Baseline Study showed that less than 1% of electric water heaters are HPWHs. The Commission rejects the suggestion that EF be used instead of RE for calculating the savings. These measures calculate the energy saved through using less hot water due to the installation of retrofit accessories. As such, they do not affect the standby energy usage of the water heater, but rather the volume of water that is heated from the input temperature to the output temperature. EF has standby losses incorporated into it, whereas RE does not.

menopause. Many psychiatrists around the world incorporate the Bush Essences as a major part of their treatment with patients. Reiki and hands on healers often place specific Bush Essences either on their hands directly on the part of the body of their client that they are going to direct healing energy to. Massage therapist add specific Bush Essences to their massage oil. Flannel Flower for example being used for clients who are uncomfortable with physical touch or intimacy. Veterinarians widely prescribe the Bush Essences for all manner of emotional and physical symptoms. Red Helmet for example produces excellent results for animals with behavioural problems such as aggressive dogs and stubborn, rebellious horses. One veterinary clinic always has a bottle of Emergency Essence on their operating tray. Animals respond extremely quickly to the Essences - as do children. Many wildlife agencies involved in animal rescue also use the Bush Essences, especially Emergency Essence. Naturopaths frequently search for the emotional causes behind physical symptoms, and once determined, the Bush Essences are ideal for addressing these issues. In the index in both my books there is a physical repertory listing the Bush Essences that cover the main emotional states and beliefs that frequently create specific physical symptoms. There is also a chapter on Iridology in my book Australian Bush Flower Healing that discusses major markings in the eye and indicates which Bush Essences would be the most

1 December 2011 El Siglo de Torreon A shipment of a little more than 11 kilograms of cocaine, valued at more than $(USD) 900,000 was seized by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel at the international checkpoint between Reynosa and Hidalgo, Texas. A spokesperson for the CBP, reported that a driver of a 2006 Equinox truck was marked for a second inspection after certain discrepancies were found in the floor of the vehicle. In the second inspection, federal agents used sophisticated technology and drug sniffing dogs to find the 10 packages of cocaine the driver of the truck was smuggling. The official reported that the 10 packages of drugs were hidden in a compartment in the floor of the vehicle. The cocaine found had a total weight of 11.79 kilograms. The driver of the vehicle was a Mexican national, 28 years old, and resident of Reynosa. He was detained and sent to the Department of Customs and Immigration.

But not anymore. "We aren't seeing the benefits, it's time now for us to get back to business as usual," she says. Luxury lifestyles According to the government, there have been 305 murders so far this year, down on 443 at the same time last year. The security crackdown had taken 173 weapons off the streets, and 13,000 rounds of ammunition have been seized. But some feel the crime measures are not tackling the heart of the problem. …. Mr. Griffith says that going after illicit funds will be the next stage of the fight against the traffickers. "When you look into their bank accounts or salary they have £500 but yet they have luxury cars and boats," he says. Local people are convinced that big business, like in much of the world, is involved in the drugs trade. "When you hear of TT$1.5bn of drugs being taken off the road, it's not the small man, they can't afford it. So it doesn't make us feel good that there are members of the business community who are involved," says Ms Kumar. Given the scale of the crime, the prime minister has insisted that the drug traffickers still pose a threat to Trinidad and Tobago. She has also indicated the state of emergency is not likely to continue beyond 5 December, according to local media. But the longer the measure continues, the more polarizing it becomes between those who believe that restrictions on civil liberties are a price worth paying to reduce crime and others who believe that the measures have gone far enough already.

(2) Sufficient provocation to support “sudden quarrel” or “heat of passion” does not exist if the defendant’s actions are related to discovery of, knowledge about, or the potential disclosure of the victim’s association with a person or group with one or more of the characteristics, or perceived characteristics, in paragraph (1). (3) For the purposes of this section, “gender” means sex, and includes a person’s gender identity and gender-related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth. An individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity does not trigger in another person a medical or psychological panic, does not constitute legally adequate provocation, and does not make a person more threatening. LGBT people should be able to live without fear that being honest about their sexual orientation or gender identity would provide a socially sanctioned excuse or justification for violence. Accordingly, courts and legislatures should affirmatively act (1) to ensure that juries are aware of the possibility that subconscious or overt bias or prejudice may cloud their judgment and (2) to limit the use of gay or trans panic arguments as a basis for provocation in non-capital cases. Respectfully submitted, William Shepherd, Chair Criminal Justice Section August 2013 GENERAL INFORMATION FORM Submitting Entity: Criminal Justice Section Submitted By: William Shepherd, Chair Summary of Resolution(s). This resolution urges legislative action to curtail the availability and effectiveness of the “gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses – including requiring courts instruct the jury not to let the sexual orientation or gender identity of the victims, witnesses, or defendants, bias the jury’s decision, specifying that neither a non-violent sexual advance, nor the discovery of a person’s sex or gender identity, constitutes legally adequate provocation to mitigate the severity of any non-capital case.
and apply the governing legal principles to the facts of the case; and (3) jurors are obliged to determine the legal consequences of the litigants’ behavior through the process of group deliberation and then publicly announce their verdict. A juror’s understanding of the facts, the testimony, especially complex or technical testimony, and the applicable laws is key. Lawyers and their clients both lose by having uninformed, bored, or disengaged jurors. The ABA’s 2005 report noted that courts have found that “[j]uror-inspired questions may serve to advance the search for truth by alleviating uncertainties in the juror’s minds, clearing up confusion, or alerting the attorneys to points that bear further elaboration.” The First Circuit even believed it arguable that “a question-asking juror will be a more attentive juror.” Questioning could also provide better results when jurors are confronted with a complex case, complicated evidence, or unclear testimony. The Colorado Supreme Court appointed a committee on jury reform and authorized a statewide pilot study to evaluate the effects of juror questioning in criminal trials. Professor Mary Dodge of the Graduate School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado at Denver prepared a summary of the findings of the pilot study (the “Dodge Report”). The Dodge Report noted that “[t]he results of the research indicate that allowing jurors to ask questions at trial will have positive effects with few detrimental results.” The procedure did not appear to cause any “harm” to the lawyers or the witnesses, and the “worst fears” were realized only in the exceptional case. Some of the major conclusions of the Dodge Report were: Actual experience with juror questions at trial increases support from judges and attorneys on the benefits of the procedure; Juror questions do not overly influence verdicts; Juror questions do not cause excessive or unreasonable time delays; Juror questions do not influence a defendant’s decision to testify; Juror questions do not appear to create prejudice to either party; Jurors will submit improper questions, but the screening procedures employed by judges generally are effective in eliminating troublesome inquiries; Jurors do not react negatively when their questions are declined; Jurors appear to be more engaged, attentive, and empowered when allowed to ask questions at trial; Jurors show more favorable reactions to the trial process when allowed to ask questions;

Solutions Remaining non-judgemental – try to use objective evidence. Use of time – splitting up meetings to maintain on-going relationship and also opportunity to build bridges again. Prepare – try to anticipate specific Qs or problems and think about how to deal with them e.g. taking a colleague with you. Explore ideas of other person involved. Emotional intelligence – monitor your own feelings - possibly may need to keep them in check – in other situations may be helpful to share them Minute the conversation. Imagine yourself in the other person’s place – how do they feel?
Stack two hole plates on top of each other. Use four screws to attach them together. Ream the 4 holes that were created by attaching the two hole plates. Cut two 11cm (4.25in) sections from one dowel. These will be your wheel axles. Push or tap the dowels from Step #3 into wheels. Place the wheels with dowels from Step #4 into the reamed hole plate holes. Then push or tap on two more wheels. You did it! You made the car body. Make sure the wheels spin easily. If not, try taking the wheels off and reaming the hole plate holes more.

Community Service. The IRS is to ensure tax compliance and regulation, whereas the CNCS is an agency the government has to support volunteer programs (Brothers 2010). The federal government created the National Community Service in 1993. This was an act that would facilitate and promote American citizens to volunteer their time to the nonprofit sector. It is the government’s effort to help meet the volunteer needs of communities all over the country. The government has been active in enforcing tax conformity among all nonprofit organizations. To ensure compliance they utilize the IRS Business Master File (BMF) system. This is a record of all existing active nonprofit organizations that currently file with the IRS, are registered and have obtained tax-exempt status. The information this file contains includes the name, address, exempt criteria, gross receipts and total assets of all nonprofit organizations. This list of information is the most inclusive and comprehensive available from the federal government. However, state attorney general offices compile similar records of all registered nonprofits within their jurisdictions (The Unified Registration Statement 2010). The majority of this information has been unchanged since the day the organization received their tax exemption. The data on the BMF list regarding a nonprofit entity can be inaccurate for years after they have closed their doors. Every few years, the list will be further updated when the IRS mails out postcards to all the listed nonprofit organizations to confirm their existence (Boris and Steuerle 1999). Another portion of the IRS’s data collection includes the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) core files. This is where the IRS combines all information obtained from the BMF lists with all the information acquired using the Return Transaction Files

Genie in a Bottle DESCRIPTION: This demo makes use of the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to produce a column of steam out of a flask, that looks like a genie coming out of a bottle. TOPICS COVERED: - decomposition reactions - catalysis - exothermic reactions - evolution of a gas - color change - chemical change MATERIALS NEEDED: - 1000mL volumetric flask w/ stopper - aluminum foil - kimwipe - a piece of string - KI - 30% H2O2 - scissors PROCEDURE: 1. Put 2g of KI on a kimwipe, wrap the kimwipe into a sachet, and tie shut, any extra wipe can be cut off the top 2. Put 40mL of H2O2 into the flask 3. Suspend the sachet into the flask with the string, do not let the sachet touch the H2O2 4. Stopper the flask so that the stopper holds the string dangling the sachet in place 5. Wrap the flask in foil so that students can’t see what is inside, now the flask is ready for students to see it 6. Pull the stopper so the sachet falls into the H2O2, releasing the “genie” ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Baquacil (27% H2O2) can be bought commercially at pool supply stores. SAFETY: Concentrated hydrogen peroxide can cause severe burns, so gloves should be worn and caution taken. Goggles should be worn at all times. The stopper on the flask should have at least one hole in it just in case the reaction were to go off there would be a
Galatians 2:16 Faith IN Christ? OR Faith(fulness) OF Christ? Good scholars disagree over the translation and meaning of pisteōs iēsou christou. Is it “faith in Jesus Christ” or “faith (or faithfulness) of Jesus Christ”? The confusion comes from the words iēsou christou, or “Jesus Christ,” which are written in the genitive case. All Greek nouns occur in case forms, which simply indicate the way the noun is functioning in the sentence. It tells us if the noun is the subject, the object, an indirect object or if it is in a genitive construction. A genitive construction is made up of two nouns: a head noun and a genitive, which always follows the head noun. This construction simply indicates that the two nouns are related to each other in some way. In English, we can often translate this with the word “of” before the genitive, e.g. “blood of Christ.” This is an example of a “possessive genitive,” i.e. “Christ’s blood,” but there is a variety of uses of the genitive. Another type of genitive is an attributive genitive, which describes the head noun. “A song of celebration” specifies the type of song. This could also be written as “a celebratory song.” In this particular instance in Galatians 2:16, scholars debate whether this phrase is an “objective” or a “subjective” genitive. An objective genitive functions as the direct object of the noun, which conveys a verbal idea (in this case, “faith”). If pisteōs iēsous christou is an objective genitive, then Paul means to say “faith in Jesus Christ,” with “Jesus Christ” being the object of faith. If pisteōs iēsous christou is a subjective genitive, in which the genitive is the subject of the verbal head noun, then Paul has the faith (or faithfulness) of Christ in mind: “faith of Jesus Christ.” But at this point in research, scholars are equally divided on the intent of the original author.
