III.B. Lecture Content Topics The novel course lectures are divided into 18 modules of varying lengths (Table II). The nine C programming modules are presented in similar order and cover similar material as the traditional course. The first module touches on most features of the language in a relatively superficial way and the remaining 8 modules explore each topic in greater depth. Since Unix/Linux operating system is a key component of the traditional course and the way homework assignments are submitted in the traditional introductory and intermediate courses, Module 10 is a specific introduction to Unix for the novel course. The eight hardware modules are typically much shorter than the programming modules and are inserted into the lectures as needed for the students to be successful in the laboratory. Table II. The C programming course module titles. 1 A crash course in C programming 10 Introduction to Unix 2 Data types 11 The Raspberry Pi and the GPIO 3 Operators 12 Introduction to basic circuit components 4 Program selection 13 Introduction to sensors 5 Repetition 14 Introduction to op-amps, diodes and transistors 6 Functions 15 The SPI interface 7 Arrays 16 Introduction to A/D converters 8 Input / output formatting 17 The I2C interface 9 File input / output 18 Introduction to mux/demux circuits Although the two courses held similar programming learning outcomes, it was apparent to several students interviewed that the novel course required additional material to learn compared to the traditional course. This appeared to affect how students self-selected for either course based on reputation. Although the novel course incorporated active learning pedagogies aimed at engaging

We will contribute to the LGPS on your behalf, with our employer contribution to the scheme being determined at each triennial valuation of the Pension Fund by the Fund’s appointed actuary. Our current contribution rate is an amount equal to … % [enter percentage] of your pensionable pay. The contributions you personally make to the LGPS will be in accordance with the following table: England and Wales – employee contribution tables for 2018/19 Annual pensionable pay Employee Contribution rate Up to £14,100 5.5% £14,101 to £22,000 5.8% £22,001 to £35,700 6.5% £35,701 to £45,200 6.8% £45,201 to £63,100 8.5% £63,101 to £89,400 9.9% £89,401 to £105,200 10.5% £105,201 to £157,800 11.4% £157,801 or more 12.5% Notes: The annual pensionable pay bands will be increased annually in line with the cost of living. The contribution rates will be reviewed periodically and may change in the future. It is our policy to set contribution rates based on pensionable pay as at 1 April each year and not to make any changes during the year. So, even if your pensionable pay were to change during the year such that it fell into a different contribution band, your contribution rate would not change until re-assessment the following 1 April.

II, IV and VI. I, IV and V. II, IV and V. 10. When an economy is in a liquidity trap a) interest rates are zero and fiscal policy is very effective b) interest rates are zero and monetary policy is very effective c) real interest rates are fixed d) all of the above e) none of the above PART II Suppose the investment schedule for this economy is very steep (i.e. nearly vertical) Which policy – monetary or fiscal – would you expect to be more effective and why? (For the full credit, you need to draw 3 panel diagrams to illustrate your answer.) (3 points) Monetary policy becomes ineffective if the investment function is step (vertical), because a change in the interest rate cannot increase or decrease investment. Hence there is no change of output. As depicted in the following graph, any monetary policy won’t affect investment, and investment remains at Y0 for any level of interest rate. Given investment remains at same level, equilibrium of output is the same.
Created by the State Support Team Region 1 Regional Transition Council in an effort to facilitate an efficient, effective transition process that promotes interagency collaboration for students with disabilities who are graduating/aging out from school-age educational services.

The packet consists of a SOP form, guidance document, sample cover letter and resources page. Sample cover letter to be used by the student to present the SOP to a postsecondary service provider, including sections for: My background information. Information on the diagnosis of my disability. Services/supports that I receive from agencies outside of my high school. My postsecondary goals in the areas of education, employment and independent living, along with my top three areas of interest related to employment. A summary of my high school academic achievement and functional performance as well as the essential accommodations, modifications and assistive technologies that I used in high school. Recommendations from high school professionals regarding the supports and accommodations that may enhance my access to post school settings. My perceptions of my disability, what works best for me, and accommodations that may be addressed in post school settings.

Licence conditions We are satisfied that it is not necessary to provide an operating environment adjustment for differences in licence conditions across jurisdictions. It raises operating environment adjustment criteria two and three. Licence conditions are not likely to materially affect opex because reliability standards are similar for the NSW service providers and most of the comparison service providers over the 2014–19 period. Also, Economic Insights' benchmarking models take reliability requirements into account in two ways: reliability is an output and so are some measures of physical assets. All of the NSW service providers identified license conditions as a major part in explaining cost differentials between jurisdictions. We are satisfied that an adjustment for licence conditions would not be appropriate. While the NSW service providers were subjected to mandated design planning conditions during the benchmarking period, the impact of these conditions was predominantly capital in nature. To this end, having invested more capex over the benchmarking period, the NSW service providers will benefit from younger assets and higher reliability. In addition, since recent AEMC reviews of distribution reliability, the NSW government has relaxed the reliability standards to allow the NSW service providers to adopt probabilistic planning. This removes the primary difference between NSW service providers and the comparison service providers, with regard to licence conditions, in the forecast period. We are satisfied that an adjustment for licence conditions would not meet operating environment adjustment criterion three because Economic Insights' benchmarking models account for reliability and physical assets. Reliability is an output in the MTFP and MPFP models. Also all of the benchmarking models include output measures that are correlated with service providers' capital stocks such as circuit length. Planning regulations We are satisfied that it is not necessary to provide an operating environment adjustment for differences in planning regulations across jurisdictions. It raises operating environment adjustment criterion two. Differences in planning regulations are not likely to create material differences in opex across jurisdictions. Ausgrid's consultant Evans and Peck identified differences in planning regulations as an operating environment factor that may affect benchmarking results. They say that in Sydney costs are higher due to council requirements. Specifically, they say that requirements for laying and relaying of concrete pavements

Diagram 2: IAP2 engagement spectrum Consumer engagement goal To provide the public with balanced and objective information to assist them in understanding the problems, alternatives and/or solutions To obtain public feedback on analysis, alternatives and/or decisions To work directly with the public throughout the process to ensure that public issues and concerns are consistently understood and considered To partner with the public in each aspect of the decision, including the development of alternatives and the identification of the preferred solution To place final decision making in the hands of the public Promise to the public We will keep you informed. We will keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge concerns, and provide feedback on how consumer input influenced the decision. We will work with you to ensure that your concerns and issues are directly reflected in the alternatives developed and provide feedback on how public input influenced the decision. We will look to you for direct advice and innovation in formulating solutions, and incorporate your advice and recommendations into the decision to the maximum possible extent. We will implement what you decide.
During our consultation with consumer representative groups and service providers, we sought an indication of the topics of engagement. The expenditure proposals that we receive are prepared with consideration of the long term interests of consumers. However, these proposals generally lack consumer evidence to support what is proposed. We consider service providers could, when appropriate, obtain useful consumer input on the following example topics: making price and reliability trade-offs setting and designing tariffs (including time of use and critical peak tariffs) setting reliability targets and standards understanding demand hot spots and exploring associated impacts exploring alternatives to capital investment. Yarra Valley Water, using the IAP2 spectrum, undertook comprehensive, dynamic and inclusive consumer engagement in developing its Water Plan 2013–18. Results Consumers highly value service providers reporting on the outcomes of engagement. After investing time and resources in consultative processes, consumers want transparent and timely reports on how service
network. Origin also requested greater clarity around the phrase ‘should become known’. We consider AGN dealt adequately with these concerns in its pre-submission engagement. AGN responded that the three month limit is not unreasonable since it runs from the time at which a user becomes aware of the claims. AGN also noted that the 11 month limit is broadly consistent with similar limits in the Energy Retail Code. AGN also noted that clause 22.3 does not prevent a retailer from pursuing any claim which it is required by law to pursue on behalf of a customer. This is expressly provided for by clause 22.3(b). Similar arguments were raised in response to AGN’s access arrangement proposal for its South Australia distribution network. We consider that a user will not be disadvantaged by these sub-clauses where they discover an error after the time limit for adjustments has expired. In such circumstances they could use the dispute resolution mechanism in clause 23. Consistent with our position on AGN’s access arrangement for its South Australian Distribution System, our draft decision is to accept AGN’s proposed clause 22.3. Delivered quantities Clause 24.1 states how AGN will determine the quantity of gas delivered in a billing period when preparing a statement of charges. It differs from the corresponding clause in AGN’s current access arrangement as follows: Whenever AGN prepares a statement of charges for a given Billing Period, the Quantity of Gas shown in that statement of charges to have been delivered (or estimated to have been delivered, or expected to be delivered) will be determined by AGN: (a) in the manner required by law; (b) (to the extent permitted by law) in the manner required by any relevant rules or agreement that bind AGN and the Network User; and (c) to the extent not otherwise required by paragraph (a) or (b)), on a reasonable basis. AGL requested deletion of the phrase ‘expected to be delivered’ as it believes it is a precursor to AGN commencing forward estimated billing in Victoria. AGL argues this process results in considerable rework each month and is financially detrimental to it. Red Energy and Lumo Energy sought clarification of this phrase during AGN’s consultation, suggesting it could allow AGN to bill for future consumption. AGN responded that quantities must be determined first and foremost in the manner required by law and any rules or agreements binding AGN and the network user, and thereafter on a reasonable basis. AGN further stated: submission
