**Bring this Rubric on Tuesday** This is your speech, so it is not worth nearly as many points as other speeches will be. You will be graded on THREE CATEGORIES: Speaking Skills, Organization and Detail. Speaking Skills: Use the notes we took yesterday to guide you in this category. Organization: Follow the suggested format and clearly transition to and from each section. Detail: Go in with your examples and stories to really illustrate your point. 5 4 3 2 1 Speaking Skills Speaking skills are implemented confidently and effectively. Speaker seems comfortable in front of audience. Speaking skills are implemented effectively, but sometimes speaker seems nervous or uncomfortable. Speaking skills are implemented, but not always effectively. Speaker lacks confidence and speaking skills, if demonstrated, are not often effective. Speaker seems unprepared and severely lacking any use of speaking skills. Organization Introduction grabs attention; 3 items are clearly separated into sections; Conclusion gives reflection & closure Format is used; 3 items are clearly separated. However, Introduction & Conclusion do not grab attention & give closure. Format is used somewhat but transitions and connections between ideas are unclear. Format is difficult to follow and it is difficult to tell when speaker moves from one idea to the next. Almost no clear organization or format. Elements may be missing completely. Detail Plenty of specific stories & information to show importance of objects. Stories & detail are used; however, more explanation would have been more powerful. Some detail used, but not enough to demonstrate importance of objects. Discussion of objects and identity is limited. Much more detail could be used. Almost no detail included.
Civil Rights 1883 The decision itself involved five consolidated cases (United States v. Stanley, United States v. Ryan, United States v. Nichols, United States v. Singleton, and Robinson v. Memphis & Charleston Railroad 109 U.S. 3, 3 S. Ct. 18, 27 L. Ed. 835.) coming from different lower courts in which Black Americans had sued theaters, hotels and transit companies that had refused them admittance or excluded them from "white only" facilities. Decision of the Court The Court, in an 8-1 decision by Justice , held that the language of the , which prohibited denial of equal protection by a state, did not give Congress power to regulate these private acts, because it was the result of conduct by private individuals, not state law or action, that blacks were suffering. Section five empowers Congress only to enforce the prohibition on state action. Legislation by Congress on subjects which are within the domain of the state are not authorized by the 14th Amendment. Private acts of racial discrimination were simply private wrongs that the national government was powerless to correct. Bradley commented that “individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject-matter of the [14th] Amendment. It has a deeper and broader scope. It nullifies and makes void all state legislation, and state action of every kind, which impairs the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, or which injures them in life, liberty or property without due process of law, or which denies to any of them the equal protection of the laws.” The Court also acknowledged that the does apply to private actors, but only to the extent that it prohibits people from owning slaves, not exhibiting discriminatory behavior. The Court said that "it would be running the slavery argument into the ground to make it apply to every act of discrimination which a person may see fit to make as to guests he will entertain, or as to the people he will take into his coach or cab or car; or admit to his concert or theatre, or deal with in other matters of intercourse or business."

In April 2012, these agencies held a conference in Freeport for business leaders. Deb Russell of Walgreens was the keynote speaker. She inspired Maine businesses by sharing Walgreens’ “quest for inclusion” story. More detailed information can be found at: The conference also marked the kick-off of the Maine Business Leadership Network (MEBLN), an affiliate of the United States Leadership Network (USBLN). The USBLN® is the national business-led disability organization that serves as the collective voice of more than 60 Business Leadership Network affiliates across North America, representing more than 5,000 employers. The MEBLN has already attracted several key business members to serve on its advisory board. These include Procter & Gamble, L.L. Bean, U.S. Cellular, and the Aroostook Center Mall. The MEBLN also has entered into a partnership with the Maine Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workforce. Through partnerships with Maine’s larger businesses, established by BRS, more than 30 individuals with disabilities have been employed in a variety of jobs.

should provide pedestrian access to major BRT corridors and to feeder line service to these corridors, it may take a lot more time to extend a network of accessible sidewalks to areas far from the BRT corridors. Try to encourage a long-term planning process for better sidewalks everywhere, alongside the planning of the BRT system. (Sidewalks in distant neighborhoods cannot easily be part of these plans, because a BRT system is built in a shorter time span than is required to provide sidewalks throughout a city.) A new BRT system can be a great beginning to build a more accessible city. It should serve as an example to be copied by others in future years and it should stimulate future accessibility improvements. 5) In addition to design issues, persons with disabilities need to promote good training of bus drivers and station fare collectors and security personnel, so that everyone knows how to be helpful and when to be helpful to persons with different types of disabilities. Make sure planners include special training so that bus drivers know how to dock their buses as close as possible to the station platforms. Offer to participate in training sessions so that BRT staff understand your needs and you understand the needs of BRT personnel. 6) Remember that mistakes do occur in the best BRT systems and that opening day is not a good time to assess what the system will be like a week or a month or a year later when lessons that are learned can hopefully be put into practice to improve the system. Do not expect perfection on Day One, but do identify problems and share your findings with the BRT management. For example, if bus drivers are stopping too far from the platform edge, request the BRT managers to provide them with better training. 7) If you feel you will benefit from fast and accessible BRT service, then support those who also are promoting Bus Rapid Transit in your city. Passengers have a right to have their voice heard by planners and the media. Persons with disabilities have a right to join others in requesting the benefits that can come from fast, accessible, and reliable public transport. Consider contacting public officials, newspapers, radio and TV stations, and social networks to add your voice to all the people who will benefit from Bus Rapid Transit in your community.
premium that compensates consumer price inflation, to take account of the fact that the regulated asset has already been indexed for consumer price inflation. We call on the AER to formally consider this in the determination of the WACC. Specific comments Averaging period for risk free rate I understand that the AER has agreed with the network service providers, the averaging period for the calculation of the risk free rate and that this agreed averaging period is confidential. I can see no compelling reason for such confidentiality: surely that AER is not suggesting that publication of the averaging period will affect the yield on 10-year Australian Government bonds? In the absence of a justification to the contrary, I suggest that the averaging period for the risk free rate should be as close as possible to the start of the regulatory control period and that it be made publicly available. Debt Credit rating The AER has said that it will use a BBB+ credit rating in setting borrowing costs. But the AER has actually used a broad BBB definition in establishing the benchmark. We call on the AER to consider how the allowed return on debt derived from its BBB benchmark should be reduced to reflect its chosen BBB+ benchmark rating. This is necessary not just for consistency with the AER’s benchmark, but also in view of the AER’s evidence that NSP debt is typically rated at BBB+ or higher. Tenor I do not agree that 10 years is the suitable tenor. I see no reason for extrapolation from 7 years, considering the AER’s evidence that weighted average NSP bond tenor is around

Right now, Shannon’s working on beating the new game , by developer . An entry in a series that dates back to the early days of the first Playstation console, Crystal Dynamics’ reboot of the series hinges on changing up the formula that had driven the series into redundancy. The main character, , was a temple- and cave-diving adventurer, looking for treasure in exotic locales. Yet she was always clad in a tiny tank top, the shortest of shorts, and packed two massive handguns on her hips for killing any monsters or bad guys who got in her way. And Lara also had perhaps the most generously digitized breasts of any character in gaming. Yet Crystal Dynamics has recognized a new way of approaching the series, and has attempted to make its version of the game more realistic, and to make Lara relatable in ways that go beyond physical beauty. “There’s no lack of chest in the new Tomb Raider,” Shannon said. “But it manages to walk this fine line, still fulfilling that cheap, thrill-ish need of cleavage and sexy grunts. It has given us a young, empowered, brave woman who’s not being hung out to dry for it.” Amini also cited the new Lara Croft as a brave step forward for women in games. “Lara Croft in Tomb Raider is a badass survivor. She's assertive, attentive, smart, adaptable, strong, brave, loyal,” Amini said. Shannon said that she embraces and welcomes this change of pace for the character and series, and that she doesn’t believe the new Lara would have been well received in the original games. “If this was the Lara Croft they gave us 10 years ago, they would’ve been nailed to a cross. It would’ve been seen as neo-feminist even a decade ago, and it was in their best interests not to do it,” Shannon said. “I would recommend [the new Tomb Raider] to my 16-year-old sister. This is a perfectly

Second, in relativity physics, the additivity of mass in the relevant sense (that is, rest mass) does not hold at all (McQueen). Third, according to Jonathan Schaffer, it is conceivable that mereological sums of parts with mass should have zero mass. So the necessity of the exclusion principle has yet to be explained in accredited Armstrongian fashion. ‘Just is’ statements and ‘why’ questions. In The Construction of Logical Space (2013), Agustin Rayo introduces two notions that are highly relevant to issues in this paper: ‘just is’ statements and why-closure. Suppose someone says, “I see clearly that things composed of water are composed of H2O, but I want to know why things composed of water are composed of H2O.” Rayo would reply, “What can you possibly mean by asking ‘why?’ Your demand for an explanation makes no sense. For something to be composed of water just is for it to be composed of H2O” (54-56). When a question like the one about water and H2O makes no sense—when the demand for an explanation is illegitimate—Rayo says that the statement p in ‘why p?’ is why-closed (or as I shall sometimes put it, the question ‘why p?’ is closed). Clearly, the notion of why-closure is in the same ballpark as the notion of autonomy I have been using. Some things are not apt for explanations ≈ the demand for explanations is illegitimate ≈ the question why they are true does not make sense. ‘Just is’ statements are statements of the form ‘for it to be the case that φ just is for it to be the case that ψ’. Examples from Rayo’s list on p. 3 are (1) For to be a sibling just is for her to share parents with someone else. (3) For such-and-such a mental state to be instantiated just is for thus-and–such brain states and environment conditions to obtain. (6) For there to be a table just is for there to be some things arranged tablewise.
