assess Australia Post’s forecast revenue and costs for the purpose of assessing Australia Post’s proposed price increases. The ACCC notes that the difference between Diversified Specifics’ forecast of volume decline (i.e. an average 8.6 per cent annually) and the top of the range derived from ACCC analysis (i.e. 8 per cent) is immaterial for the purposes of modelling revenue projections in Australia Post’s draft price notification. In contrast the bottom of the range derived from the ACCC’s analysis (i.e. 6 per cent) is materially different to the upper bound and is close to historical volume declines (i.e. 5.8 per cent). However, the significant increases in letter prices, including the 43 per cent increase in the BPR proposed by Australia Post is greater than any historical price increase. As this creates uncertainty around the level of consumer and business responsiveness, the ACCC has accepted Diversified Specifics higher forecast volume decline. Cost of capital ACCC view In assessing Australia Post’s draft price notification, the ACCC has had regard to whether the estimated revenue generated is required to recover the efficient costs of providing its reserved services, including a return on capital. Generally, a return on capital should reflect the opportunity cost to investors of choosing to finance a firm’s operations. The return on capital is calculated as a weighted average of the opportunity cost of debt and equity, known as the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Australia Post has submitted that a nominal ‘vanilla’ WACC of 7.29 per cent should be applied for its return on capital, based on a report by Value Adviser Associates (VAA). The ACCC’s view is that Australia Post’s proposed WACC is not appropriate and has derived an alternative WACC of 6.53 per cent. The WACC parameters proposed by Australia Post, and the parameters calculated by the ACCC, are set out below.

Ref No: Q2694 | Published On: 15-Mar-2015 | Status: Current SUBJECT: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) For New Zealand the advice for TPN is effective for events with an event date on or after 1 July 2015 Q: Should total parenteral nutrition be coded? A: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is the administration of nutrients to a patient usually via a central venous catheter and is usually a short term treatment, although in some conditions has been used as a long term therapy. TPN is classified in ACHI under Pharmacotherapy and the guidelines in ACS 0042 Procedures not normally coded, point 8 should be followed: 8. Drug treatment/pharmacotherapy Drug treatment should not be coded except if: the substance is given as the principal treatment in same-day episodes of care drug treatment is specifically addressed in a coding standard (see ACS 0044 Chemotherapy, ACS 1316 Cement spacer/beads and ACS 1615 Specific interventions for the sick neonate). (Coding Rules, March 2015) Ref No: Q2820 | Published On: 15-Mar-2015 | Status: Current SUBJECT: Cellulitis of an infected blister Q: Patient admitted for cellulitis of an infected blister of the index finger. Swabs taken of the blister grew Staphylococcus aureus which clinical documentation confirmed as the source of the infection. Should a code for cellulitis be assigned as well as T79.3 Post traumatic wound infection, not elsewhere classified, as per ACS 1916 Superficial injuries? A: ACS 1916 Superficial injuries instructs that T79.3 Post traumatic wound infection, not elsewhere classified and a code for the associated infectious agent should be assigned as additional codes if a superficial injury is infected. The instruction in the specialty standard should be followed despite T79.3 being an NEC code. However it does not preclude the assignment of a more specific code for the infection, such as cellulitis in the scenario cited. For example: Patient admitted for cellulitis of an infected blister of the index finger. Documentation in the clinical record confirms an associated infection with Staphylococcus aureus. The following codes would be assigned (and sequenced following the principles in ACS 0001 Principal diagnosis):
What is the correct code to assign for documentation of tobacco dependence (without the term syndrome documented) and does the advice also apply to alcohol and other drugs? A: ACS 0503 Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Use Disorders states: Importantly, it should be noted that documentation such as 'on patches' or 'trying to quit' are not justification to classify to the dependence syndrome. The dependence syndrome is defined as a cluster of phenomena … and therefore it is important that a clinical decision to classify a case to this code is made based on that evidence and not because society in general regards all smokers as dependent. Dependence, addiction or dependence syndrome must be documented before F10-F19 with fourth character .2 can be assigned. F17.2 Tobacco dependence syndrome is assigned following index pathways: Dependence - due to - - nicotine F17.2 - - tobacco F17.2 - syndrome — code to F10–F19 with fourth character .2 This rationale also applies to alcohol and other drugs ie dependence, addiction or dependence syndrome must be documented before assigning an appropriate code from F10-F19 with fourth character code .2 dependence syndrome. The misleading statement above Example 8 in ACS 0503 Drug, alcohol and tobacco use disorders will be revised as part of errata 4 to Ninth Edition as follows: F17.2 Tobacco dependence syndrome Assign this code if the patient is diagnosed as having tobacco dependence (syndrome). ACS 0503 Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Use Disorders is currently under review for ICD-10-AM Tenth Edition. Published 15 March 2016, for implementation 01 April 2016. Ref No: Q3003 | Published On: 15-Mar-2016 | Status: Current SUBJECT: Respiratory acidosis in a diabetes mellitus patient Q: What is the correct code assignment for respiratory acidosis in a patient with diabetes mellitus? A: Respiratory acidosis is a metabolic derangement of acid-base balance where the blood pH is abnormally low. Respiratory acidosis will occur if the lungs are not ventilating properly resulting in an excess of carbon dioxide in the body (Mondofacto, 1999). Respiratory acidosis may have a variety of different causes, including: COPD Neuromuscular diseases Chest wall disorders Obesity-hypoventilation syndrome Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)

Do you have access to clean drinking water? More than a billion people in the world do not have clean drinking water. Almost 2 million people die every year because their water is unsafe. If our house catches on fire, the fire department will come. If we catch a serious illness, the emergency rooms will not turn us away. We do not live in fear of someone killing us because we are the wrong religion. Our children can go to school and learn how to read. Blind But Happy “O what a happy soul am I! Although I cannot see, I am resolved that in this world contented I will be; How many blessings I enjoy that other people don’t! To weep and sigh because I’m blind I cannot and I won’t.” (Helen Keller at 8 years of age) Helpful Scriptures Proverbs 30:8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Luke 12:15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Identify & enjoy the things you do have, which is the secret of contentment. Philippians 4:4-6 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Change what you can, accept what you can’t change, and learn to recognize the difference. St Francis of Assisi penned The Serenity Prayer around 1200 AD. “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Acceptance, courage and wisdom”… How are you doing in these areas? Are you accepting of the things in your life that aren’t going to change, no matter what you do or how hard you try? Remember this… You can’t change your looks or your family… and you definitely can’t change other people! Seek out people and places that you can impact for the good. While seeking happiness for others we will consistently find it for ourselves.
wide range of peak base widths and retention times exhibited by the twenty analytes across the tested conditions. In order to reduce this complex dataset to a more tractable form, it was necessary to identify criteria that would simplify evaluation and comparison of the separation quality. As high-throughput untargeted LC- or SFC-MS metabolic phenotyping studies require high peak capacities and resolution within a short analysis time, the quality of separation for each combination of column, modifier and temperature was evaluated based on three parameters: peak base width, sum of resolution and the normalised product of the resolution. The peak base width may be related to peak capacity as follows: (1) where Pc is the peak capacity for a gradient of length tg, and wp is the base width for each of n peaks used in the calculation [30]. Another common definition of peak capacity uses the sum of the resolution () across the chromatogram: (2) where RS is the resolution between peaks, calculated here using equation 3: (3) where wp,n is the peak width for the nth peak, eluting at retention time tr,n. Both definitions for peak capacity have constraints on their use to describe gradient separations (e.g. equation 2 applies to situations where peak widths follow a similar pattern across the chromatogram [30]), but are sufficient for our purpose viz. comparison of separation quality under different chromatographic conditions. Thus, based on equations 1 and 2, the average peak base width and the average may be used to compare the relative peak capacities of the evaluated chromatographic conditions. In the current analysis, we have chosen to compare peak base width and resolution data using the boxplot representation, and hence are comparing the median rather than the average parameters across conditions; however, where relevant, we have also provided mean values within the text. One shortcoming of peak capacity as an estimate of chromatographic performance is that it does not take into account the distribution of peaks across the chromatographic window. While minimising peak base width and increasing resolution are crucial for improved separation in metabolic profiling studies, an even distribution of peaks across the retention time range ensures a more efficient use of chromatographic space. To evaluate peak distribution, Schoenmakers and others have used the normalised resolution product ( or NPR) [31]:

What is rarely considered in previous studies on undermatching, as noted by Radford (2013), Bastedo and Flaster (2014), and Park (2013), is the entire process of college choice, from predisposition, preparation, application, and matriculation to persistence, graduation, and beyond. In particular, we know surprisingly little about the post-college income and employment outcomes of students who undermatch, as compared to otherwise similar peers who attend match institutions. Previous literature on college outcomes has noted the benefits of attending a selective college, including rich instructional, extracurricular and financial resources as well as presumed post-graduation benefits including improved social/occupational networks; graduate and professional school attendance; rates, sector, and level of employment; and post-college earnings (Hoxby & Avery, 2013; Bowen et al., 2009, Baum et al., 2010; Bastedo & Jaquette, 2011; Kurlaender & Grodsky, 2013; Rodriguez, 2013). As Student Financial Aid Services Inc. (2014) states, “College undermatching threatens [the] nation’s future talent pool... This not only perpetuates the cycle of poverty, but also robs our nation of smart, diverse leadership to solve future problems” (p. 1). As a policy concern, then, undermatching evokes apprehension for both individual and social outcomes, in the form of lost and productivity. Yet, while the benefits of selective colleges are often described, the link between college match and labor market outcomes has yet to be directly measured. In sum, strong concerns remain about the potential for undermatching to negatively affect students’ college outcomes, particularly given the demonstrated higher rates of undermatching among historically underrepresented and low-income students. Moreover, undermatching is framed as a potential loss for society in general, as the nation misses out on the contributions of a significant portion of the populace who do not make their way to the elite colleges they are

parameters such as lime saturation (LSF) and coating (CF) factors as shown in Figure 14. LSF is a measure of the lime content of kiln feed. In essence, the higher the LSF, the greater the percentage of un-combined lime which will require additional heat energy to burn. While it is recommended to maintain substantial LSF values, it is crucial to control the amount of free lime due to its ability to continuously trap moisture and cause cracks in cement structures. Looking at Figure 14(a), LSF values within the six weeks preceding K1 brick incident constantly exceeded the target values. The CF shown in Figure 14(b) is a measure of how well K1 refractory bricks in the burning zone are protected by the layer of coating formed by molten clinker. For CF, the plant’s target of 26-30 was not maintained. The success of FTAs is a function of the familiarity of the failure investigation team, which is perhaps the reason why there is a brainstorming element to most FTAs. RBDs on the other hand provide a means of further exposing the interactions between the various causal elements so that system vulnerabilities can be easily identified. For each the resultant fault trees (Figures 10-12), an equivalent RBD (Figures 15-17) was also developed based on the rules defined by Labib and Harris [27]. In addition to the individual RBDs, a global RBD that integrates the individual equivalent RBDs is also shown in Figure 18 so that the interface between the different classes of failure causes can be easily visualised. The integrated RBD depicts a very fragile interaction between the different events, owing to the significant number of associated series structures. The causal factors in the RBD are mostly related to the poor culture of maintenance and operations in the plant, although it can also be argued that a more recent K1 burner pipe design with deflection measurement capabilities will aid the early detection of misalignment. 5. Recommendations from the failure investigation team A significant number of the current investigation team members were also involved in the initial failure investigation using the Apollo method. However, unlike the earlier exercise that purely dwelled on external factors (outward-looking) such as brick design and therefore recommended the usual action of refractory brick replacement, the current investigation based on FTA and RBD provided more insights about inherent lapses in the maintenance, operation and quality practices within the plant. Therefore, Table 2 provides an action plan
