Sighted users swipe through and activate items based on their position on the screen by swiping or touching the items directly. Blind users, on the other hand, have a whole different set of gestures available to them when a screen reader is activated on a touch device. The screen reader overrides the visual method for interacting, and replaces it with a gesture-based system. There are screen reader gestures for going forward through content (swipe right), going backward (swipe left), activating the current button or link (double tap the screen anywhere), and so on. The specific gestures vary from one brand of screen reader to the next.

Scenario SQL State VMM Server State Recovery Steps Single VMM Library server crashes; good backup is available SQL continues to run VMM Server continues to run Recover the failed VMM Library from a valid backup source. Single VMM Library server crashes; no good backup is available SQL continues to run VMM Server continues to run All Library content (ISOs, VHDX, scripts, and so on) must be repopulated or re-created. Active node of HA VMM Library server crashes SQL continues to run VMM Server continues to run The Library content and function will fail over to a remaining node of the HA file-server cluster. Integration Point Recovery As mentioned earlier, there are several additional points of integration within a complete Virtual Machine Manager implementation. These integration points include PXE servers, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) servers and connectors to other System Center components. The following section specifically addresses recovery procedures and requirements for these elements. Distributed Key Management The requirement for implementing DKM for Virtual Machine Manager mitigates the need to separately ensure the availability and restoration of this key in a DR scenario. This is consistent for single-site or multisite implementations. Bare-Metal Provisioning If lost, the PXE Server supporting a Virtual Machine Manager site implementation must be restored using standard file-server recovery procedures, leveraging a known good backup source. In a multisite configuration, a PXE server must be deployed at every site at which provisioning is required. This increases the planning and effort that are required to recovery from a disaster scenario, because the preceding backup and recovery procedures and requirements must be implemented at each separate location. After recovery, each PXE server may require to be re-registered with the Virtual Machine Manager Management Server by using
the auditor’s range should be developed? Will this approach be more effective than the approach of “narrowing the range”, as in extant ISA 540, in evaluating whether management’s point estimate is reasonable or misstated? should be developed. We believe this approach will be more effective in evaluating whether management’s point estimate is reasonable or misstated. Reference to these related application material paragraphs should be added to paragraph 20. 6 Will the requirement in paragraph 23 and related application material (see paragraphs A2-A3 and A142-A146) result in more consistent determination of a misstatement, including when the auditor uses an auditor’s range to evaluate management’s point estimate? Yes, the requirement in paragraph 23 and related application material will assist in more consistent determination of a misstatement. 7 With respect to the proposed conforming and consequential amendments to ISA 500 regarding external information sources, with the revision to the requirement in paragraph 7 and the related new additional application material result in more appropriate and consistent evaluations of the relevance and reliability of information from external information sources? Yes, they will support appropriate and consistent evaluations of the relevance and reliability of information from external information sources. 8 Translations – Recognizing that many respondents may intend to translate the final ISA for adoption in their own environments, the IAASB welcomes comment on potential translation issues respondents note in reviewing the ED-540. Effective Date – Recognizing that ED-540 is a substantive revision, and given the need for national due process and translation, as applicable, the IAASB believes that an appropriate effective date for the standard would be for financial reporting periods ending approximately 18 months after the approval of a final ISA. Earlier application would be permitted and encouraged. The IAASB welcomes comments on whether this would provide a sufficient period to support effective implementation of the ISA. N/A – no comment on potential translation issues. Yes, we think the effective date for the standard provides sufficient time to implement the standard.
DTTL does, however, have additional recommendations to further enhance and clarify the Proposal in the following areas: Addressing the auditor’s work effort required for other information that cannot be reconciled to the financial statements. DTTL observes that the focus of Proposed ISA 720 (Revised) remains primarily on other information that is “intended to be the same as, to summarize, or to provide greater detail about, the amounts or other items in the financial statements” (paragraph 15). The Proposed ISA 720 (Revised) provides less clarity, relating to financial and non-financial information, when it comes to: (a) reading the other information that one has to “consider” for material inconsistencies between the other information and the auditor’s knowledge, or (b) remaining “alert” when reading the other information for material misstatements. DTTL believes that there should be a clear expectation in the requirements of the Proposal for both what the auditor is expected to do relative to the information that is “intended to be the same as, to summarize, or to provide greater detail about, the amounts or other items in the financial statements” and that information which is not. Reconciling the “engagement period” concept described by the International Ethics Standards Board of Accountants’ (IESBA) Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, with the responsibility to address other information obtained after the date of the auditor’s report. As drafted, DTTL believes that the procedures required by the Proposal would not extend the engagement period beyond the date the auditor’s report is issued. Both of these matters are further discussed in the Appendix, along with other recommendations included within DTTL’s responses to the questions posed by the IAASB. **** DTTL appreciates the opportunity to provide perspectives on these significant considerations with respect to the auditor’s responsibilities in relation to companies’ annual reports and the information contained therein beyond the audited financial statements. DTTL would be pleased to discuss this letter with the staff at your convenience. If you have any questions, please contact me via email () or at +1 305 372 3143. Very truly yours, Carlos A. Sabater Global Managing Director, Audit & Enterprise Risk Services Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited APPENDIX RESPONSE TO REQUESTS FOR SPECIFIC COMMENTS DTTL’s responses to the detailed questions included in the IAASB’s explanatory memo accompanying the Proposed ISA 720 (Revised) are set forth in this section.

crimp and crimp stability and for the prediction of processing and fabric characteristics. OBJECTIVES In order to find objective measures to describe fiber crimp, the experimental approach of this project includes the collection of stress-strain data for various fibers, accompanied by the following deliverables: A quantitative definition of crimp stability A physical model relating filament crimp and crimp retention to fiber and crimp properties such as modulus and geometry A determination of the possible interaction of fiber crimp, crimp stability, carding performance and web properties EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Carding Experiments with 3den PET Fibers The material available for the carding tests were three bales of 3den PET fibers with different crimp levels supplied by Wellman. Table 1 shows the identification of the test material and the crimps per linear extended inch (CPLI). Identification Crimp Level Type Bale 1 (B1) 9 CPLI 218 Bale 2 (B2) 7.5 CPLI 204 Bale 3 (B3) 9 CPLI 214 Table 1: 3den PET Test Material for Carding Trials The fibers were processed using a “typical” industrial production line at Hollingsworth according to Figure 1.
For each of the 3 bales, fiber samples A, B, C, D and E were taken at random times. Furthermore, fiber samples F#1 through F#11 and G#1 through G#11 and web samples H#1 through H#11 and J#1 through J#11 were collected.

this a few times in the past year or two. Reflecting about Estelle Brettenny “The only knowledge is experience”. Albert Einstein This well-known (debatable) quote was the first sentence I wrote down in a workshop (Metaleer/Meerbrein) that was presented by Mirie Taljaard in Durbanville in 1993. Carrying out IACESA’s mission Lena Green and Janet Condy As members of the Board of IACESA we are committed to engaging with the cognitive education movement. Reflection on Cognitive Engagement Magda Kloppers After the long, cold winter, I like to stand still for a while, and reflect upon the year that is already 8 months old. The blossoms of spring represent the feelings and thoughts that go through my mind. Research on critical thinking in 2016 Stef Esterhuizen During 2016 research on critical thinking continued with Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hat Strategy at Roshnee Pre-school. The circle map and bubble map were also informally introduced to the Grade R-learners. Creating positive Accounting classroom conditions that supports successful learning and the development of critical thinking Viné Petzer Based on research conducted by Buckhaults and Fisher (2011) the Accounting classroom seems to create anxiety for educators as well as learners.

Purpose This document guides development of the initial Investment Analysis Plan (IAP). The plan outlines the activities required per AMS policy and the JRC Secretariat Readiness Checklist for an investment initiative to achieve an Initial Investment Decision. As applicable, the work builds on that done in previous stages of the AMS lifecycle. The included template provides the format and content for the plan. Relationship to AMS The plan for initial investment analysis is required for all New Initiative acquisition categories. It is developed late in Concept and Requirements Definition (CRD), after the alternatives are determined and is approved at the Investment Analysis Readiness Decision (IARD). For all other investment initiatives (which are exempt from initial investment analysis), a plan for final investment analysis is developed late in Concept and Requirements Definition and approved at the Investment Analysis Readiness Decision. The Final Investment Analysis plan and guidance are discussed in a separate document. Who prepares it The service organization develops the initial Investment Analysis Plan with assistance from AFI-1.
more than 250,000 farmers from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Punjab have taken their lives. Since then, RFSTE has been monitoring the impact of a trade liberalization policies on Indian farmers and Indian agriculture since the new economic policy (1991) and WTO rules of the agreement on agriculture (1995) came into force. In celebration of non-violent organic agriculture, every year Navdanya organizes Albert Howard memorial lecture on 2nd October, initiated in the year 2000 to pay tribute to the two messiahs of sustainability and non-violence; Mahatma Gandhi and Sir Albert Howard. Past speakers have included Frances Moore Lappe, Masanobu Fukuoka, Marion Nestle and H.H. Prince Charles. 2. FAIR TRADE Connecting Farmers to Co-producers At Navdanya the team ensures the linking of the Seed-to-the-Table and of Farmers to Co-producers through the Fair Trade Initiatives. One of its seminal contributions to Fair Trade practices has been the marketing of organic agricultural products directly from the farmers to the consumers, who through their consumption patterns become the co-producers of agriculture. To this end, there are two outlets in New Delhi. The first outlet one is at Dilli Haat, which is a platform where crafts people and artisans offer their wares to buyers in the true spirit of Swadeshi (of one’s own country). The second one is at E-52, Hauz Khas Market, New Delhi. A similar space is also in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, where there are a sizeable number of farmer members. At the outlets, Navdanya offers a very diverse range of agricultural produce both as grains and in a processed form. The diversity by way of rice, wheat, millets, cracked wheat, breakfast cereals, cookies etc. reflects the commitment to conserving local seeds and

and feelings. From Ian’s standpoint, a car ride can include unexpected: Noisy horns and loud trucks Bright headlights and street lights Innumerable different colors, shades, and objects out the window Bumps, turns, accelerations and decelerations, and constant vibration of the car itself Ian’s vestibular system will be challenged during a car ride as well. Although mostly consisting of linear movements, riding in a car can also have some angular and rotary movements (e.g.: going around a sharp corner, backing out of a parking spot and turning quickly). The above examples provide a glimpse into why community mobility may be a problematic IADL for Ian. other things found outdoors. It also describes how he can tolerate short periods of linear motions (horizontal similar to that of riding in a car). The case also stated his negative response to a vestibular system overload. Meal Preparation N N Y Preparing a meal and cleaning up afterwards, even if it as basic as cereal or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, requires FM skills to manipulate the objects involved and it requires touching of multiple different textures and surfaces that Ian may dislike. Managing utensils without making a mess may also be troublesome for Ian because of his FM issues. Opening a jar of jelly, especially when new, may be difficult for Ian because of his low tone and upper extremity (UE) weakness. Pragmatic - As a 12 year old boy, Ian may be expected to make his own meals and clean up after himself. Narrative – The case describes some of his: tactile defensive sensitivities low tone evidenced by poor posture, UE weakness, and avoidance of trunk rotation. FM deficiencies
