Applications for SCOR Support of Developing Country Scientists to Attend Ocean Science Meetings and Training Through funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation, SCOR has supported (since 1984) the travel of scientists from developing countries and countries with economies in transition to participate in ocean science meetings. More than 1,000 individuals, mostly students and other early-career scientists, have benefitted from this program. SCOR does not accept applications from individuals wishing to attend scientific meetings. Instead, meeting organizers may submit applications for support for developing country scientists to attend their meetings. The Process Meeting organizers seeking support should fill in the form on the next page and submit it to the SCOR Secretariat (), preferably 6-12 months in advance of meeting, together with a cover letter on letterhead. The SCOR Committee on Capacity Building will review applications 2-3 times per year and make decisions about which meetings to support. Decisions will be based on information provided in the application form, as well as SCOR scientific priorities. The organizers of meetings for which SCOR provided support must provide to the SCOR Secretariat a list of potential recipients of travel support. The list should include the name, country, email address, and career status for each proposed recipient. The SCOR Executive Director will review the list to ensure that the proposed recipients are from eligible countries (see ) and have not received travel support from SCOR in the past two years. If the meeting is held in a developing country, the proposed recipients should be from outside the host country. Recipients should be students and early-career scientists (up to 5 years post-Ph.D.) SCOR can work directly with the approved recipients or send the granted amount to the meeting organizers. If the funds are sent to the meeting organizers, an accounting of the transferred funds must be provided to SCOR after the meeting. Meeting organizers should provide to SCOR a short post-meeting report about the participation of the developing country scientists in the meeting.

Lots of big arm gestures – still holding the ladle Very expressive, excited tone as she the audience in. By the end of the scene Body language much more relaxed. In much closer proximity to Silver – his arm is on her shoulder. Loud voice but soft tone as she describes how nice he is Dramatic pause before she reminds the audience that she still worries about the one-legged man from her nightmares. Silver Point in Play and Point Analysis of Performance Skills Evaluation When Jim meets parrot for the first time. Speaks with casual tone, as if he is not surprised that she is there. Puts on his apron while talking to her. Offers her his hand Changes pitch when speaking to the parrot – raises pitch and increases volume to show his irritation with the parrot. Is effective in establishing that he is a confident character who is not at all threatened by Jim. The audience are aware of who he really is (dramatic irony) and the fact that he can appear to be nice to Jim, adds to the idea of his being a villain. His anger at the Parratt, reminds us that he is not a character to be messed with but also creates comedy. Silver stabs himself in the wooden leg a short gruff sound as he does it Hardly reacts at all to Jim’s anxiety – continues to speak in calm, smooth tone. Silver turns his back on her and invites her to stab him Small smile on his face Turns his back on her and spreads his arms out, to show that he does not feel the need to defend himself. Silver starts to try to her when he realises that she can read. Voice becomes much softer and quieter Steps closer towards her “You read maps???” – becomes higher, volume louder an emphasises “maps” Walks even closer towards her pointing at her. Taps his head when he says “smart as paint”, speaking very slowly – each word is accompanied by a tap on the head. Jim tries his stew Friendly tone – much calmer voice again

Financial Information A. Financial Controls Congregations should ensure the following basic financial controls are in place: With Respect To Cash Receipts – Required Financial Controls Two persons should be responsible for counting and recording cash receipts. Both counters should sign off the record of cash receipts for each particular count. The two persons responsible for counting must not be related. Upon completing and recording the count, the bank deposit is prepared and placed in safekeeping until it can be taken directly to the bank. With Respect To Cash Receipts – Desired Financial Controls The two-person counting teams should be rotated so the same two people do not always count together. The two-person team that counts and records the deposit should not include the Treasurer or Financial Secretary. If a deposit cannot be made immediately or if a night deposit is not available, a safe should be available to store the deposit until it can be taken to the bank. With Respect To Cash Disbursements – Required Financial Controls Two signing officers for cheques are recommended. Signing officers must not be related. Cheques should not be signed in advance and left blank. Prior to signing cheques, supporting invoices and vouchers should be reviewed and initialed by cheque signatories where applicable. With Respect To Cash Disbursements – Desired Financial Controls Cancelled cheques should be returned with bank statements. Monthly Reporting Monthly review of Statement of Revenue and Expenditures compared to budget by the congregational council. Monthly review of Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position) showing bank balances and investments. Other Reporting The Treasurer should periodically inform the church council that all statutory remittances have been made. Board members are personally liable if certain payments such as CPP, EI and incomes taxes are not submitted. The bank statement and bank reconciliation should be periodically reviewed by a representative of the congregation’s board or council.

An important theme in The Treasure of Lemon Brown involves the meaning of the word “treasure”. Greg learns from Lemon Brown that the value of something is highly personal; only its owner can ever appreciate its real worth and pass it on to others. Do you agree or disagree with this claim? Support your claim by tracing Greg’s discovery of what “treasure” really means. Compose an argument that is one page or more in length. Support your claims with valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence from the text, including direct quotes and page numbers. Teacher Instructions Students identify their writing task from the prompt provided. Students complete an evidence chart as a pre-writing activity. Teachers should remind students to use any relevant notes they compiled while reading and answering the text-dependent questions. Evidence Quote or paraphrase Elaboration / explanation of how this evidence supports ideas or argument “Every man got a treasure. You don’t know that, you must be a fool.” When Greg first meets Lemon Brown, Greg tells him he’s not looking for Lemon Brown’s treasure even if he has one. Greg doubted that Lemon Brown could have a treasure since he was homeless. Lemon Brown is insinuating that treasures are not always related to monetary wealth. “All I know is that I heard him talking about some kind of treasure. You know they found that shopping bag lady with that load of money in her bags.” The thugs were looking for money, and mistakenly thought that the treasure Lemon Brown kept referring to was money. They only defined a treasure as money. “Throw down your money, old man, so I won’t have to bash your head in!” The thugs were willing to commit a violent act for the treasure (money). The old man was willing to
The convenience of dealing with a single firm ASIC Report 562 that customers who obtain financial services from a vertically integrated advice business are attracted to the convenience of a relationship with a single financial firm. For example, customers of a bank may benefit from having access, when required, to financial advisers who are employees of the bank. Convenience may not, however, be significant for other forms of vertical integration. Customers are often not aware that they are dealing with an adviser practice affiliated with a major firm at the time a service is provided. In part, this was the basis for Recommendation 40 of the Financial System Inquiry that the ownership of financial advisers and mortgage brokers be disclosed. Where advisers separate from a financial firm, their clients will also often follow the adviser to the new licensee — suggesting that consumers value their relationship with the adviser over the firm. ‘Deep pockets’ and reputation There is clear evidence that prudentially regulated firms are more capable of remediating consumers. This can be seen in the case of unpaid external dispute resolution (EDR) arrangements. The amount of outstanding EDR determinations at May 2018 was around $15 million, and approximately 55 per cent of outstanding determinations were related to financial advice. However, none of the outstanding determinations were related to APRAregulated entities. A potential systemic response to problems of uncompensated consumer losses, arising in respect of smaller, non-prudentially regulated firms, would be to establish a limited and carefully targeted forwardlooking compensation scheme of last resort (CSLR) restricted initially to financial advice, as recommended by the Ramsay Review in 2017. The potential need for such a scheme is reflective of the limitations of professional indemnity insurance in this regard. The design of that scheme would, however, depend on the kinds of entities that were required to become members. A CSLR that was not able to include large, vertically integrated prudentially regulated firms could be different from a scheme which did include such participants. Without such firms being included and effectively crosssubsidising other advice firms, a CSLR may be less viable; the policy case for requiring such cross-subsidies is, however, unclear, and doing so could be self-defeating if large firms exit and stop providing advice as a consequence.
