Sector Based Work Academy Background NHS Borders has developed a successful Sector Based Work Academy in collaboration with Borders College, Skills Development Scotland and Job Centre Plus. This resulted in 33 young people being offered work opportunities in NHS Borders in 2013. In 2014 NHS Borders Training & Professional Development (T&PD) jointly developed and delivered a successful mixed pre-employment programme for Care and Support services and a programme for Care. A further programme for administration began in January 2015. All candidates are offered an interview for the Admin or Nurse Bank on successful completion of the programme. These are six week programmes open to those on Job Seekers allowance and include an NHS Borders placement, NHS Borders Statutory and Mandatory training and training organised by Borders College. This helps participants develop their skills and to be job-ready on completion. The Director of Workforce and Planning is fully supportive of the programmes and said “These courses provide an excellent opportunity for a number of unemployed local people to develop themselves to the level required to successfully gain employment in NHS Borders. The placement areas have positive feedback on the course participants and we thank them for their support in making these programmes a success.” This case study outlines the experience of Karissa Johnstone who was a participant of the Sector Based Work Academy Administration programme in 2013. Karissa was 18 when she was interviewed for the programme; she had an HNC in administration and IT. Her work placement within NHS Borders was with the Board Executive Team. She proudly describes the tasks she undertook such as dealing with complaints, liaising with the Chief Executive, with Scottish Government Health Department and distributing circulars. She talks of the no- blame culture when she sent an email to the wrong person in error which was quickly rectified. Karissa welcomed the reassurance and support from the Board Secretary who was her supervisor.
representatives of/affiliated with the sponsor may be present at the event and stand with the member of school administration or designee who is announcing and conducting the event; such employees/representatives of the sponsor may wear clothing identifying them as sponsors of the event. The superintendant, or designee, shall have the authority to regulate the time, place, and manner of the distribution of promotional materials by the event sponsor. “Promotional materials” includes, but is not limited to, pamphlets, pens/pencils, sports equipment (whether miniature or full sized), or clothing. The event sponsor shall provide the superintendant, or designee, with a complete list of the types of promotional materials the event sponsor intends to distribute at the event so that the superintendant, or designee, may make an informed decision on the time, place, and manner of distribution that would result in the least amount of disturbance with the interscholastic activity. The superintendant, or designee, should take the following into account when determining the best time, place, and manner of distribution of promotional materials: Whether the promotional materials could be a distraction to participants in the interscholastic activity due to the promotional material emitting light or noise; Whether the promotional materials have a high possibility of being able to be used against participants of the interscholastic activity to attempt to alter the outcome of the activity; The possibility that the promotional materials would be left by recipients to become litter; and The possibility that the promotional materials would divert the attention of the audience from the interscholastic activity. The superintendant, or designee, limit the distribution of promotional materials to audience members when they are entering the school building/arena, during the sponsored half-time event, and/or when they are leaving the school building/arena. The superintendant’s, or designee’s, restrictions on the time, place, and manner of promotional materials shall be final. Any funds received through private sponsorship shall be placed in the District’s Activity Account. The superintendant, or designee, should follow the policy for receiving public gifts or donations when negotiating the sponsorship amount, as set forth in policy 6.3—Public Gifts and Donations to the Schools.

Across the relevant datasets up to 10% of learners have their study subject listed as unknown – these learners are not included in the analysis; The latest available data on 16-19 year old and Higher Education students is less current (2011/12 vs. 2012/13) than the latest available data on 19+ and apprenticeship students; and There is no official line on which subjects of study are directly relevant to which sectors of the economy, therefore New Economy has had to make a judgement on which subjects and apprenticeship frameworks map to which sectors – detail on this mapping exercise is provided in an appendix to this report. Thus the figures presented are indicative of the pool of labour from which the sector could recruit. 16–19: Further education (FE) and school forms From the latest Education Funding Agency (EFA) data (2011/12), the following course categories have been identified as being most relevant to the FPS sector: Accounting and Finance Administration Business Management Business, Administration and Law Mathematics and Statistics Public Services Service Enterprises Law and Legal Services Economics Analysis of the EFA data shows that in 2010/11, approximately 10% of all 16-19 students in GM were studying an FPS sector relevant course; 26,600 out of 257,600 students across all subjects. The number of starters within FPS courses has been increasing year on year, with an estimated percentage increase since 2007 of 9%, but this is slower than the rate across all subjects, which since 2007 has increased by 13%. In 2010/11, of attendance for these selected courses were weighted heavily in favour of full-time students (95%). Part-time study was mostly undertaken in Administration and Service Enterprises. The gender profile of FPS students was slightly in favour of females: 52% to 48% males, and the gap between the numbers has stayed very stable since 2007. Students in FPS related topics were fairly evenly distributed among Greater Manchester local authorities, with the highest concentration being residents in Manchester (18%),
Section 8.3 Estimating a Population Mean In Section 8.3, you’ll learn about: When σ is known: The one-sample z interval for a population mean Choosing the sample size When σ is unknown: The t distributions Constructing a confidence interval for μ Using t procedures wisely Inference about a population proportion usually arises when we study categorical variables. We learned how to construct and interpret confidence intervals for an unknown parameter p in . To estimate a population mean, we have to record values of a quantitative variable for a sample of individuals. It makes sense to try to estimate the mean amount of sleep that students at a large high school got last night but not their mean eye color! In this section, we’ll examine confidence intervals for a population mean μ. When σ Is Known: The One-Sample z Interval for a Population Mean Mr. Schiel’s class did the mystery mean Activity () and got a value of from an SRS of size 16, as shown. The Normal sampling distribution of X for the mystery mean Activity. Their task was to estimate the unknown population mean μ. They knew that the population distribution was Normal and that its standard deviation was σ = 20. Their estimate was based on the sampling distribution of X. shows this Normal sampling distribution once again. To calculate a 95% confidence interval for μ, we use our familiar formula: statistic ± (critical value) · (standard deviation of statistic) The critical z* = 1.96, tells us how many standardized units we need to go out to catch the middle 95% of the sampling distribution. Our interval is We call such an interval a . Whenever the conditions for inference (Random, Normal, Independent) are satisfied and the population standard deviation σ is known, we can use this method to construct a confidence interval for μ. One-Sample z Interval for a Population Mean Draw an SRS of size n from a population having unknown mean μ and known standard deviation σ. As long as the Normal and Independent conditions are met, a level C confidence interval for μ is The critical z* is found from the standard Normal distribution. This method isn’t very useful in practice, however. In most real-world settings, if we don’t know the population mean μ, then we don’t know the population standard deviation σ either. But we can use the one-sample z interval for a

In addition to the opening up of the company in the registration statement, it will have to file 10ks and 10qs – at least once a year. Consequence – many of the offerings in the US are made a transaction exemption – not public offering. Exempt securities The securities exempt from registration are specific securities or categories of securities, which are never required to be registered under § 5 – largely due to the intrinsic nature of the issuer itself. Examples: Commercial Securities issued by fed gov’t company contracts or municipalities annuities charitable organization May be resold free of registration burdens Still subject (to varying degrees) to the antifraud provisions of both Acts Intrastate Offering Exemption: § 3(a)(11) of the ’33 Securities Act: “Any security is a part of an issue offered and sold only to persons resident within a single State or Territory, where the issuer of such security is a person resident and doing business within, or if a corporation, incorporated by and doing business within, such State or Territory….” Is exempt. Even though § 3 says “exempt securities” – this is a transactional exemption: functions like §4 exemptions no registration, but anti-fraud provisions still apply resales need own exemption The entire issue of securities must be offered and sold exclusively to residents of the state in question. No monetary ceiling on how much you can raise through this exemption. Policy reasons: Typically dealing with small companies that couldn’t afford costs of registration and it’s less of a concern on a national level The character – the idea that the residents probably have more familiarity with local businesses States are well-equipped to handle intrastate offerings Questionable if this is still true today: Vastness of the certain states – intrastate offerings are no longer necessarily small. Communication – reality of investing is that you get hooked on interstate commerce time you use the cell phone. This satisfies the interstate commerce component Issues: “Whole issue” The whole issue must be offered exclusively to residents of the state in question.

3. The CSP should use well defined Data backup and redundant data storage to make data recovery possible. 6)Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Poisoning Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used in the TCP/IP to resolve an IP address (logical) at the sender side into MAC address (physical) address at the receiver side. The ARP cache stores a table that maps all the IP address of the networked devices and their corresponding MAC addresses. An attacker can exploit some weakness in the ARP protocol to map an IP address of the network to one malicious MAC, and then update the ARP cache with this malicious MAC address. To mitigate this attack it is possible to use static ARP entries, this technique can work for small networks like private clouds; but on large scale clouds it is better to use other techniques such as port security features that locks a specific port on the switch ( or network device) to a specific IP address . D)Network Level Security attacks Cloud computing depends mainly on the existing networks infrastructure such as LAN, MAN and WAN; that is the reason cloud computing is exposed to the same security attacks. These attacks may be originated from users outside the cloud or a malicious insider residing between the user and the CSP and trying to corrupt the data to/from the cloud. 1) Domain Name System (DNS) attacks In the Internet, hosts are defined by names that are easy to remember by humans, while computers deal with numbers. Each connected computer to the Internet has a globally unique Internet Protocol (IP). The Domain Name System (DNS) converts host names into corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) addresses using a distributed database scheme. Internet DNS servers are subject to different types of attacks such as: ARP cache poisoning domain hijacking, and attacks. 1) Domain hijacking Domain hijacking is defined as changing the name of a domain without the knowledge or permission from the domain’s owner or creator. Domain hijacking enables intruders to access sensitive corporate information and perform illegal activity such as phishing, where a website is replaced by an identical website that records private information. One of the possible ways to make domain hijacking very difficult is proposed by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) which forces a 60-day waiting period between a change in registration
