Intervention Example 2: Self-Affirmation Writing Exercise Materials Research Base: Chronic Threat and Contingent Belonging: Protective Benefits of Values Affirmation on Identity Development Cook, Purdie-Vaughns, Garcia, & Cohen, 2012 A field experiments followed middle schoolers over time to investigate whether self-affirmation could decrease achievement gaps and insulate sense of belonging from environmental threats. In this intervention 7th grade students self-affirmed by selecting important personal values and then writing an essay about why those values were important to them (a control condition wrote about why values that were not important to them might be important to other people). These students were then followed into 8th grade and their grades and sense of belonging were tracked. African American students in the intervention condition earned higher GPAs and this nearly halved the achievement gap between African American and white peers. Additionally, African American students in the control condition showed the typical pattern of declining belonging across the middle school years, but belonging was more stable for African American students who received the values-affirmation intervention. This suggests that the intervention helped build resiliency and bolstered these students’ sense of belonging against adversities. The intervention did not impact white students’ outcomes. Here’s how it works: Read the following list of common values. Which ones matter most to you? Which do you most naturally use to guide your choices? What do you appreciate about yourself? Pick your top three. If something comes to mind that is not on this list, write it down. Choose one of your top values and write about it for 15–30 minutes. Describe why this value is important to you and a time in your life when you had the opportunity to really express this value.

area and, whilst it is fairly basic, it works and will save you a lot of time and hassle by being able to download a much smaller MP3 file, that has all the music edited out, as well as a copy of the actual notes that I use during each show which, in most cases, details word-for-word what I say during the program. As I have discussed on previous shows, to access that new membership area, all you need to do is go to and follow the simple step-by-step instructions that are provided there. Very briefly, we are requesting a very small donation of just $19.95 each month, which works out to be less than five dollars a week, or about 1 cup of coffee and, for that donation, you will have access to those edited podcasts as well as the notes from each show and you will be able to access them a few days before the standard podcasts are uploaded to our website. At the end of the day, we are setting this up more as an incentive for people to make small regular donations to us as opposed to selling a professional product as such. And, as I have said before, we still want to make sure that we are always giving people great value for money. So, in this instance, people can still listen to our weekly broadcast live on air each Tuesday night for free and people can still download our regular podcast from our website each week for free as well. However, for those who would like to provide us with a little bit of extra support each week, they will now get a few extra benefits, being the edited, reduced file size of our podcasts as well as a copy of the notes that go with it. Please feel free to shoot us through a text or email giving us your feedback on this idea and we look forward to your support with the new membership area as well as your feedback on how you are finding the smaller edited files as well as the usefulness of the actual program notes to go along with each show.

Patient Group Meeting Monday 29th September 2014 Present: SD, AC, DG, SG, PB, J, JB, VFW, MB (patients) Kerr Young, Boots Pharmacist, Barry Todd, Practice Pharmacist, Cynthia Jackson, Practice Manager, Tracey Pearson, Practice Nurse, Lesley Shaw, Senior Practice Administrator. Apologies: DC (Patient) Dr Hildreth TOPIC DISCUSSION ACTION AGREED Practice Pharmacist Barry came to discuss the issue raised at our last meeting concerning patient information about side effects of new medications prescribed. Ideally, the doctor should explain, however, it was acknowledged that the doctor has limited time in a consultation. If anyone is concerned about side effects and not too sure an option is to speak to the Community Pharmacist or to contact the Practice Pharmacist for further information. Kerr said he always offers an opportunity for patients to ask questions when he is dispensing new medications on their behalf. Kerr explained that if he has a patient history he knows whether or not there is a medication issue and will discuss with the patient then advise the GP. There was concern that if patients do experience side effects, rather than ask for further information they just stop the medication. One or two examples of this were raised by those present. From the beginning of November Barry will be in the practice every morning. Kerr explained that if he has a patient history he knows whether or not there is a medication issue and will discuss with the patient then advise the GP. Barry explained that when he takes up his post in the practice one of his responsibilities will be to overview the clinical care of patients with chronic diseases. Suggest GP advise patient that pharmacist can discuss medication side effects with the patient. Advise practice patients that Barry is taking up post in November. Add information about Barry to patient information folder and to practice website. Feedback from Commissioning Chair Eddy met with Dr Matthews, Chair of the Commissioning Group. He said he had a very productive meeting and Dr Matthews is adding Meditation to the agenda of his next Council of Practices meeting for further discussion. This is linked to developing services in the area for older people who may be overweight and/or have fitness issues. Eddy to feed back to next group meeting.

Figure 1. Transmit Diversity with Array-Interference Gain for 2 TX Antennas. The ‘channel estimator’ block performs channel estimation based on pilots. The estimation is then provided to the ‘combiner’ block and the ‘array gain maximization’ block. Both “Array Gain Maximization” blocks in TX and RX, perform in order to compare all the IAm and selects the one that has the maximum value. Following, the “array gain maximization” block at the transmitter sends m inherent to the maximum array interference to the “transmit vector selector” block, which selects Gm to be transmitted over the channel H since Gm will yield the maximum array gain. In addition, “the array gain maximization” block at the receiver sends the index m, in binary, to the ‘combiner’ block, which is collocated in the same RX device. For instance, if m = ‘1’, the ‘combiner’ block will utilize the weight w1, when it receives the signal from TX. The ‘combiner block’ provides symbol estimate to the ‘maximum likelihood (ML) detector’ block. Array Gain Maximization Block In the array gain maximization block, the array interference IAm is stored as a function of H. Array Interference IA0 Array Interference IA1 In order to select the most aligned interference, the ‘array gain maximization’ block performs
The ‘array gain maximization’ block at the transmitter sends m to the collocated ‘transmit vector selector’ block while the ‘array gain maximization’ block at the receiver sends m to the collocated ‘combiner block’. The ‘combiner block’ will combine the received signal, just as described in the previous sections, in order to deliver to the ML detector. Note that is given in the previous sections and is given by with y’ being the signal received by the second RX antenna and H = [h3 h4], for 2TX, or H = [h5 h6 h7 h8], for 4 TX. The technique described above is full rate and yields full spatial diversity added to antenna array gain thus yielding better link reliability. X.2.1.3.

BETWEEN: THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 22 () AND: CANADIAN OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES, LOCAL 5523 ( EMPLOYEES) 16. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES Article 11(d) BUMPING - TRANSPORTATION DEPT. EMPLOYEES Layoff from position or Reduction in hours Given the unique situation in which transportation department employees hold one or more regular posted positions resulting in full time, the parties agree to the following process in the event of layoff resulting from either the termination of a position or a reduction in hours. When a transportation department employee holds one or more regular postings totalling 40 hours per week they will be considered as full time employees who may bump any employee within the department. When a transportation department employee holds one or more regular postings totalling less than 40 hours per week they will be considered as part-time employees who may bump only part-time employees within the department. Retention of Duties Option: 3.1 In situations where a portion of a full-time transportation department employee’s daily hours are terminated or reduced, the remainder of the daily duties may be retained. Example - When an employee holds two postings and one is terminated or reduced the other posting may be retained. The bumping procedure in this example would deal with only the one posting that was terminated or reduced and would result in the employee bumping a position, within the transportation department only, that when combined with the retained posting would not exceed 40 hours per week. 3.2 In situations where a portion of a part-time transportation department employee’s daily hours are terminated or reduced, the remainder of the daily duties may be retained. Example: When an employee holds two or more postings and one is terminated or reduced, the other posting may be retained. The bumping procedure in this example would deal with only the one posting that was terminated or reduced and would result in the employee bumping a position,
The Effects of Self Myofascial Release on the Plantar Surface of the Foot During Sledge Rebound Jumps. Cian S Lanigan & Andrew J. Harrison Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, of , Castletroy, Limerick, . Phone +353 (0)61 202700. Fax + 353 61 202814. E-mail BACKGROUND. Various studies have demonstrated that fascia may play a more significant role in the human body than previously established. The majority of the research in this area is still focused around the physiological changes that occur during hands-on therapy. From this research numerous findings have been made, many of which could also be associated with an enhanced function. There is currently no known research investigating myofascial manipulation and performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether self myofascial release (SMFR) on the plantar surface of the foot could enhance dynamic strength measures. METHODS. Fourteen subjects, 9 male and 5 females, were recruited for the study. Subjects used SMFR on the dominant leg, allowing the non-dominant leg to act as a control. Measurements of contact time (CT), height jumped (HJ), flight time (FT), and reactive strength index (RSI) were obtained during single leg rebound jumps (RBJ) using a specially constructed force sledge apparatus. Reactive strength index (RSI) can be defined as the subject’s ability to change quickly from an eccentric to a concentric contraction and can be regarded as a measure of an individual’s explosive strength. All measurements were obtained before and after SMFR. RESULTS. Repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated that SMFR had a positive effect on RSI (p < 0.01), increasing this performance measure by 20.1%. HJ showed a similar trend (increasing 12.8%) but was not significant. CT did not see a change post SMFR (p = 0.76). CONCLUSION. From a training perspective, the results indicated the use of SMFR as an integrated part of the warm-up as thirteen out of fourteen subjects either maintained or increased performance after SMFR. Furthermore, as CT did not change while HJ had a noted improvement this clearly offers an insight as to how SMFR affected the jumping mechanics; subjects were able to produce a greater amount of force in the same amount of time after SMFR.
