opportunity they might not otherwise have. Internships will be targeted to undergraduate students studying to enter the science, technology, math, chemistry fields, those in the College of Management, and in areas of social entrepreneurship. “Paid internships benefit students, colleges and employers,” said Richard D. George, Great Lakes president and chief executive officer. “Students gain meaningful workplace skills and are more likely to earn degrees and use their internship experiences to help secure good jobs upon graduation. Colleges will see increased completion and job placement rates, and employers gain a pipeline to fresh talent. It’s a win-win-win.” Strong preference for the grant is given to institutions that are most proactive in coordinating with the business and nonprofit community to create new paid internships. Following three months of administrative planning, employer outreach and student recruitment, Metropolitan State will place eligible juniors and seniors in paid internships beginning in January 2016. The Great Lakes grant period continues through May 2018. Apply by Metropolitan State University, a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, is America’s premier university for lifelong learning, providing unsurpassed, competitive academic and professional degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels while maintaining affordability.

July 21, 2014 Mr. Robert Oglesby Executive Director California Energy Commission 1516 Ninth Street Sacramento, CA 95814-5514 SUBJECT: Application for approval of the City of Los Angeles Green Building Code Amendment Dear Mr. Oglesby: On December 23, 2013, the Los Angeles City Council approved Ordinance No. 182849 adopting and amending the 2013 California Green Building Standard Code (CALGreen). As part of this ordinance, the City added Los Angeles Municipal Code section 99.04.106.5, which establishes and mandates minimum thermal emittance and solar reflectance values for roofing materials in residential buildings. The City Council found that, under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, there is no possibility that the implementation of the ordinance will have a significant negative impact on the environment and is thus exempt from the requirements of CEQA. On July 7, 2014, the Los Angeles City Council approved Ordinance No. 183149 amending Los Angeles Municipal Code section 99.4.106.5 to change the effective date of this provision. I have attached the following documents for your reference: Ordinance No. 182849, Ordinance No. 183149, Council File 13-1214 showing the history of ordinance No. 182849, and

Introduction The National Committees of the IHP/ICID invite you to Mullingar for the 19th National Hydrology Conference to be held on Tuesday 20th November 2018 at the Mullingar Park Hotel. This event is 's leading Conference devoted to Hydrology providing a unique forum for attendees to share policy developments, research results, and practical solutions to engineering hydrology issues. Conference Theme .. The theme of this year’s conference will focus on the interaction between hydrology and communities. Interactive community engagement and involvement is crucial for the successful implementation of water policies and projects. Allowing all stakeholders to bring forth their concerns and opinions can lead to reduced delays and costs, improved design, and a higher level of acceptance amongst the community. Increasingly the idea of community based (citizen science) monitoring and observation networks is gaining acceptance for enhancing the design of water related projects. It is therefore important to highlight the mutual benefits that can be gained from the participation of communities in the hydrological design process. We would like to invite submissions of papers/posters that highlight how communities are informing hydrology related policies and projects and the mutual benefits to be gained from working together. These topics can range from case studies, to practical applications of hydrological practices, to research focused projects.. Who Should Attend? Local Authority Engineers and Planners Engineering Consultants, Researchers, Hydrologists, Environmental Engineers and Scientists Policy makers from all relevant fields Professionals involved with the implementation of the various EU water management Directives. Conference Format . The programme will consist of oral presentation of papers with discussion, and a poster / display session. Participants are invited to contribute through posters and oral presentations. Call for Papers . . Participants willing to contribute to the Conference through the presentation of a paper should submit a short abstract (maximum 600 words). The abstracts should be sent by to the Conference Secretariat by Friday, 27th July. The organising committee will review the abstracts and inform the successful authors by Thursday, 30th August. Call for Posters .. Participants willing to contribute through the provision of a poster display should submit a short summary (maximum 300 words) of the project or topic. The deadlines for submissions and the review and acceptance format and dates are as per the call for papers above.
Describe type of activities, number and type of beneficiaries targeted, duration of each activity, location of implementation (name of community, where the activities will take place), if there any partners/subcontractors and what is their role in the activities.

Canadian Women’s Foundation is pleased to present a National Skills Institute on Girls Programming Inspiring here!

Through girls-only programming, girls have the opportunity to build protective factors to navigate the many challenges that adolescence brings. Canadian Women's Foundation has been funding community-based organizations since 2006 to deliver programs for girls aged 9 to 13. Through the Girls' Fund we have been: building knowledge of best practices in programming for girls aged 9 to 13; exploring understanding of current and emerging issues affecting girls; and expanding knowledge of girls group mentoring. We now have the opportunity to hold a National Skills Institute to continue the dialogue on girls programming and share learnings, bringing together organizations from across the country. The Skills Institute This two and a half day event will connect organizations from across the country and provide a venue for collaborative discussion, skills building opportunities and share promising practices to address the growing need for girls programming in Canada. Approximately 80 organizations will be sponsored to participate in this Institute. Participants will be from all parts of the country, including urban, rural and remote, and will represent the diversity of Canada.
