be developed to complement the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Health Plan Implementation Plan being released in July 2015; and be coordinated with the implementation of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Strategy (2013), and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Drug Strategy 2014-2019 as well as mainstream mental health policy. A unique window of opportunity Currently there is a unique window of opportunity for the development of such a plan. The table below lists five strategic responses within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mental health area, or that are associated with mental health in a significant way. Against each is an indication of the stage of development and implementation at time of writing. Strategic response Status The renewal of the National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Mental Health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing. Expected to be completed in 2015 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Strategy Completed in 2013 but not yet implemented. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Evaluation Project To report in 2015 - the implementation of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Strategy is to be informed by the findings of the project. National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Drug Strategy Expected to be completed in 2015 General population mental health planning including the National Mental Health Plan (2009 – 14) that includes planning for mainstream mental health services that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples use. To be renewed probably following the Australian Government’s response to the National Mental Health Commission’s National Review of Mental Health Services and Programmes expected in early 2015. All five strategic documents or projects are either in a late-development or pending implementation stage. Because of this, the Australian Government now enjoy a unique window of opportunity to coordinate their further development and/or implementation in an efficient and effective way. Practically, for example, this could help support the development of (to whatever degree is appropriate) integrated mental health and social and emotional wellbeing, and suicide prevention and substance abuse disorder services, or promotion or prevention programs, that work across these areas simultaneously - for example through the integrated Mental Health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing Teams proposed by the National Mental Health Commission’s National Review of Mental Health Services and Programmes for the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services. The key consideration is that just as the lived experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people does not ‘silo’ these issues, neither should our strategic responses.
Scenario Extensions This is a listing of how each step in the Main Success Scenario can be extended. Another way to think of this is how can things go wrong. The extensions are followed until either the Main Success Scenario is rejoined or the Failed End Condition is met. The Step refers to the Failed Step in the Main Success Scenario and has a letter associated with it (i.e. if Step 3 fails the Extension Step is 3a). Step Condition Action Description 1a Power Increase is needed Check neighbor node status 2a Neighbor node has Power excess Route power from neighbor to deficient node 3a All Neighbor nodes have Power shortage Request additional Power Generation on EHV Lines 1b Power decrease is needed Check neighbor node status 2b Neighbor node has Power shortage Route power from node to power deficient neighbor 3b All Neighbor nodes have Power excess Request decrease of Power Generation on EHV Lines Appendix D – Renewable Resources The following details the many renewable resources and technologies that are in use today or are currently in development.

Connections to Chemistry Concepts Chemistry Concept Connection to Chemistry Curriculum Phase changes The distillation of seawater to provide freshwater is perhaps a novel way to discuss with students the transitions between the liquid and gaseous phases of water. Vapor pressure When looking at vapor pressure and boiling point, the process of multi-stage flash distillation (MSFD) can add to the discussion. Boiling Multi-stage flash (MSF) distillation of seawater can be used as an example of how boiling can be controlled by changing the pressure on a liquid. Boiling point Desalination techniques provide the opportunity to discuss the normal boiling point of a pure substance, conditions when boiling occurs at a different temperature, and what happens to the boiling point of solutions. Boiling point elevation The energy expense of simple seawater distillation provides an example of problems that can arise due to the boiling point elevation of solutions as distillate is removed. Separation techniques When studying separation techniques involving solutions, the examples of distillation and reverse osmosis to desalinate seawater can show students practical, large-scale, real-world applications. Distillation When introducing separation techniques, your students may think of distillation as one of the most familiar ways to separate liquids. However, they have not considered it a method that has long been used for desalination. Ions This article provides a relevant example of the importance of ions in everyday life, as they must be added back to water that has been desalinated by reverse osmosis, to replenish those lost in the purification process. Molecular motion Both diffusion and osmosis from the article can be used to show molecular motion occurring naturally; while reverse osmosis, a human-controlled process, can be used to show molecular motion that runs counter to that of nature. Diffusion The explanations and examples given in the article can be used to help students use molecular motion to distinguish between diffusion and osmosis.
Further refinement of the architecture diagram and its associated tasks Our software plan includes the contribution of detailed tasks developed by the SW committee and its members to work toward the implementation of the FG architecture. All members have been tasked to actively support this activity. The gathering of Requirements and use cases We are gathering a number of use cases that address many of the components and software needs motivating the architectural diagram. These use cases are motivator and provide guidance for the implementation of the software needed. For example each committee has been asked to produce a document on what use cases motivate software developments and deployment a part of the FG architecture while addressing their particular goals. The creation of subgroups We have started the creation of subgroups to work towards the implementation of software and features of FG. These include at present a portal group, a scheduler group, a software operations group, a performance group, a knowledge base group. Other activities are enhanced through individual contacts to group members and other committee chairs. The evaluation of a simulated FG environment based on VMs We have started to evaluate the creation of a simulated FG environment so we can set up a scheduler testbed before we actually have hardware available. This will allow us for example to design and develop meta-workflows for FG use based on our proposed workflow concepts indicated in the PEP. The implementation of software deliverables as defined by the PEP We started the creation of the software offerings based on the PEP plan. We are going to propose minor corrections to this plan to streamline our activities. Next Steps Our plans for January include the completion of the task management system, the deployment of Inca, the deployment of a Moab based provisioning system, the continued evaluation of a VM based simulation environment to support Pegasus workflow deployments. Outreach The SW architecture of FG was presented by Fox and von Laszewski, at several conferences including OGF, IPCCC, ISPAN, GridCat, SC09, CloudCom, ISGA, and CCA Activities in last 2 weeks We have refined material that is to be included in our whitepaper about FutureGrid. This includes the collection of more use cases. Several meetings with individual group leaders including our
Singular and plural Treat collective nouns as singular, unless it confounds meaning. For example ‘the team has’ rather than ‘the team have’. Watch names when using the plural. If you were writing about a family called Phelps, you would say: ‘The Phelpses were going for a day at the seaside.’ For words ending in ‘o’ there are no hard-and-fast rules, though the principle is that with most words just add an ‘s’. There are exceptions. There are a few general patterns, too. If a word is a short version of a longer word, just add an ‘s’: memos, photos, demos. The same applies to words that clearly have their roots in another language, such as stilettos, calypsos, chinos, bistros, casinos. And where a word ends with two vowels just add an ‘s’, as in videos and cameos. The best way of checking is to take the first version offered by the. So we would use: avocados, banjos, flamingos, ghettos, manifestos, mementos. Those taking an ‘e’ include: buffaloes, cargoes, dominoes, echoes, embargoes, haloes, heroes, mangoes, mottoes, potatoes, tomatoes, torpedoes, vetoes, volcanoes, tornadoes and mosquitoes (though Tornados and Mosquitos when talking about the planes). Students Refer to people on the course as ‘learners’ rather than ‘students’ T Tautologies Please try to avoid them. Common examples include: advance warning armed gunmen universal panacea

IATI XML refers to data on aid activities in the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) open data format. From a donor perspective, we publish data on DFID activities so the UK public can understand how taxpayers’ money has been used. From an international perspective, we publish data in a format others can easily access and re-use. Examples include a civil society organisation mapping aid flows to a developing country or a developing country government managing aid budgets. Our future priorities Area Activities Comments Traceability Pilot geocoding and traceability methodologies Apply methodologies to all new projects by April 2014 Consult implementing partners on challenges of adhering to IATI standard Requiring implementing partners to publish to IATI standard and use unique identifiers. How do we ensure the requirement is not an unreasonable barrier to accessing DFID funding? Data linkage Establish methodology for linking DFID aid data with partner country budget data Building on IATI study and piloting methodology on behalf of IATI. Data use Establish fund to help develop tools that support: Traceability Partner country use of data Linking aid data with partner country budget data How do we stimulate greater data use? By whom? What do we want the fund to achieve? What are the key problems we want any new tools to address? Improving development outcomes Monitor impact of IATI in small sample of partner countries to better understand how transparency can drive improved development outcomes Key studies note absence of clear expected outcomes and mechanisms for monitoring benefits of IATI in particular, and transparency initiatives more widely. How should we monitor and evaluate the benefits of aid transparency?

disposable incomes and changing lifestyles. The industry is set to experience strong growth over the coming years. The trend towards increased online retailers will continue making ecommerce a critical component to the success of a start-up artisan. Because of the proliferation of artisans selling online, establishing the company as a trusted online retailer through quality products, customer reviews and exceptional customer service will play a greater role in branding a jewellery business. Local Market In the Halifax Area there are over 50 jewellery retail stores with approximately 5 times that selling only online. This excludes mixed merchandise stores in the area such as Sears that are also selling jewellery as part of their inventory. A survey of the market showed, 65% of these online merchants are selling items without the precious stones and metals, while 90% of retail locations were. Adornya will specialize in creating products with found materials and therefore will be competing against the larger online market, approximately, 160 stores. These are based on survey results completed by the Canadian Jewellers Association. Adornya will be located primarily online for launch. However, Adornya’s tie to Nova Scotia history naturally aligns their products with tourist boutiques. In the Halifax area there are three stores that focus on providing gifts and souvenirs to tourists. Adornya will target these boutiques to carry products increasing Adornya’s exposure within the local market. To generate further product awareness and exposure, Adornya will have be selling from a booth at the Halifax Seaport Farmer’s Market. There are two businesses that have been identified as direct competitors: Aflame Creations Jewellery and Foxine. There may be more over the course of the summer, as tenants renting booths at the market change. Many online reviews of the market and merchants have trumpeted it as a ‘must-see’ if in Halifax and praised the quality and craftsmanship of the products available for sale. These reviews of the market align with Adornya’s strategy of creating a trusted local brand with their target market.

Americans with Disabilities Act () If the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was the first civil rights act for people with disabilities, the was the second. Closely modeled after the Civil Rights Act and Section 504, the law was the most sweeping disability rights legislation in history. It extended all civil rights protections to people with disabilities, including protection from discrimination in employment, transportation, public accommodations, telecommunications, and activities of state and local governments. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) IDEA replaced the Education of the Handicapped Act and expanded discretionary programs. IDEA also included transition and assistive technology services as special education services and expanded the list of those eligible to include children with autism and traumatic brain injuries. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) This act is a federal law that allows eligible employees of covered employers to take job-protected and unpaid leave for qualifying medical and family reasons. Leave includes the continuation of group health insurance coverage with no changes to terms and conditions of the coverage. Qualifying medical and family reasons include: birth of a child, adoption or foster care placement of a child, personal No Child Left Behind Act This reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) represents a sweeping reform of the nation's general education system. The Act's focus on accountability and testing could potentially have serious implications on the education of children with disabilities. It also required state plans to be developed in coordination with IDEA.
The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici (MHPAEA) This is a federal law that generally prevents group health plans and health insurance issuers that provide mental health or substance use disorder (MH/SUD) benefits from imposing less favorable benefit limitations on those benefits than on medical/surgical benefits. The Due to this law, since companies cannot drop a person's coverage when they get sick due to a mistake the person made on their application, or put a lifetime cap on how much care they will pay for if a person gets sick, and companies cannot deny coverage based on preexisting conditions, or put an annual cap on how much care they will pay for if a person gets sick. This law also expands the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act to apply to almost all forms of health insurance.
