The exchange of the cane was now made with the two runners in a cane bite exchange. The two pails of water also had to be exchanged while trying not to spill. All the while they would find themselves in the middle of a swarm of wasps that was screaming and slashing away at their legs, their feet, and their privates plus their naked butts. Quite a challenge, indeed. Below the waist was unrestricted territory. Thus the hands and wrists trying to hold the pails level made for tempting targets whenever they dropped below the waist. As they ran their bottoms and legs had multitudes of points that stung like wasps had indeed stung them rather than birch twigs. When a runner would go into his On-Your-Mark posture he often would see taunting children right in front of him pointing and screaming and horning in on him like juvenile hornets. His rise upon Get-Set would be meet with birch twigs pouncing on his ass. His girl teammate would often find her swing area cluttered by the little taunting insect brats in their free-for-all play. She would have to wave them off with her cane to clear the approach zone . . . with its accompanying delay. Still then there would be a kid lying on the grass trying to swat the loincloth draped cock and balls. Thus the smash of the cane which triggered escape could come as a relief. At least it stopped the ticking away of the time and the birchings. The children quickly learned not to be directly in front of the boy at Go as they would get run over as the boy tried to avoid hitting them himself or with his pails of water. To the ladies on the terrace it looked like swarms of wasps trying to protect their nests. Once a runner did sprint forward he would easily out-distance the children. Not to be outdone the little brats started to play interference between the relay stations. This was against the rules as the little brats were supposed to stay at the relay station. Bedlam. They would run at oncoming racers screaming and waving their birch twigs in making a frontal attack only to part ways when the racer was on them. When two boys on one team tripped over each other on their exchange attempt, they were immediately pounced upon by a swarm. It looked like a pack of hyenas devouring falling prey.

they are not conservative in the selection of appraisal comps, and so the risk tolerance pendulum has swung towards extreme conservatism. The investment appeal of housing and presumption that prices can only go up has lost its shine. Many households had stretched in the 200-2005 run up and some even invested in second homes or investment properties hoping to flip these units at higher prices. Those late to the party got burned. Drilling Down By Market we expect inverse relationships between interest rates and home prices, the lack of response since 2007 in many markets may be due to the extent that each market was affected by appetites for subprime and second mortgages. Recent run ups may also be a result of support from greater investment buying is those markets that got hit the hardest. We first drill down on Chicago. The typical inverse correlations between monthly mortgage and prices, in this case single family home price per square foot, for the Chicago metropolitan area are shown below: Period of time Correlation with 30 Year FRMs 1980-2012 -.803 1990-2000 -.566 2001-2005 -.766 Since 2005 .897 For the past four years the housing market has behaved differently in Chicago and for that matter in most other markets. Since January of 1980 to present the monthly average 30 year fixed rate mortgage, FRM, (Source: Freddie Mac) has been 8.45%. Since April of 2010 the 30 year FRM has been under 5% and in February of 2012 when home prices hit their bottom in the Chicago metro market at $137 per square foot for single family housing, the mortgage rates were 3.89%. In September of 2012 they were down to 3.47% and finally prices have shown some modest bounce, but much less so than most hard hit markets. These results are shown in Exhibit 2. In Exhibit 3 we show the results for just 2005 through first quarter 2013. If you look only at Exhibit 3 you’d think that, at least in Chicago, home prices move with interest rates instead of inversely to them.

Imagine that all of the facts are the same as the example above, except that variance (s2b) = 60 and within-group variance (s2w) = 21. What, if anything, changes? F = s2b / s2w = 60/21 = 2.86 We still look to the Anova table for column 2, row 60 (df1, df2). The threshold value, of course, is still 3.15. What’s the decision? Our F value of 2.86 is not equal to or greater than the threshold value, so we: (a) accept H0, (b) prove H0, or (c) fail to reject H0? It’s that last one: we fail to reject H0. Equivalently, the effect of hearing status is not significant. Have we proven the Null? No. What z, t, and F Have in Common z, t, and F (Anova) are all fractions; t and F are variations on a z score. In all three cases, the numerator measures the how different the means are. z numerator: t numerator: F numerator: s2b (ordinary s2 calculated using the sample means as data) In all three cases, the denominator measures sampling error. z denominator (std of the mean): σx̅ (= σ/√n) t denominator (std error of the diff betw means): (= a long thing we didn’t discuss) F denominator (within-group variance: s2w (ordinary s2 calculated within the groups) So, all three formulas have the same form: difference between (or the means z, t, F = __________________________________ sampling
building, identifying and managing stress, managing your health effectively, techniques for relaxation and practical techniques for coping with caring. Induction Loops, for staff within the Borough Council "I now have more confidences to talk to Doctors and consultants. I have realized that I am the professional in my caring role, not them." "I am pleased that I came on the course, this has helped my confidences and I have found new friendships by participating." Personal Budgets and Direct Payments DAD is committed to disabled people, parents and carers having more choice and control over the assessed services they receive. DAD offers information, advice and support to people to explore and use Personal Budgets, Direct Payments and Personal Health Budgets. Staff can also assist with the self-assessment process and support planning. Some examples of our work are: Beginning the transition to a new contract model after successfully tendering for the Direct Payments Support Service; the new model is based around offering a Menu of Support. Letters were sent to all service users and followed up with calls and visits to explain the changes. Supporting people impacted by changes to the severe disability premium proposal who could no longer afford their contribution to look at their disability related expenditure, and supporting them in financial reassessments. As a result, several people have had their contribution reduced Operating managed accounts that provide an opportunity for people to have a direct payment without the additional responsibilities of managing their finances Enabling disabled people and carers to explore imaginative and cost effective ways to receive assessed services. This has included supporting people to use direct payments flexibly. Examples include purchasing adapted computer equipment, costs for a PA to support a family on a short break, and transport and accommodation costs for a young person's PA to support them to attend the Special Olympics 2013 Developing the Stronger Voices... Strong Support project to promote peer support, enabling people to become more involved in creating their own support plan ‘This place is a gem, there has never been an occasion where a member of staff hasn’t helped me with a query’. 'Without the support of a direct payment, DAD and my care manager my life would be very different. Thank you'.

only damping in rotation, , is influenced by the stiffness of the pile-soil system as demonstrated by the small spacing among all damping curves prior to approaching resonance frequency. At resonance, all damping modes experience a sudden increase, followed by an approximate linearly trending increase with increasing frequencies. In stiff soil conditions (), damping and align well with each other throughout the entire frequency range. Differences between fixed and hinged tip piles are obvious near resonance for in stiff soils. Beyond = 1, differences between fixed tip and hinged tip pile damping become more pronounced. While damping ratios and for medium stiff soils follow each other closely, larger differences are noticeable for . Results obtained for soft soil conditions show a strong divergence across all damping modes. Comparison with Winkler model The proposed model is compared against stiffness and damping formulations obtained from literature. Springs and dashpots proposed by Baranov-Novak (, ), Dobry et al. , Gazetas and Dobry , Makris and Gazetas , and Mylonakis as summarized by Anoyatis and Lemnitzer are implemented in a Winkler model and compared with results from Eqs. 10 – 15 in Figs. 14 and 15. Note that the stiffness matrix from the Winkler model () can be expressed as: (16) where (17) and , where is the pile cross sectional area. Figure 14 compares the dynamic stiffness of the proposed model with results from Winkler based formulations. The expressions suggested by Dobry et al. fail to represent the pile stiffness across the entire frequency range. As expected, the plane strain spring and dashpot by Baranov-Novak cannot capture the dynamic effects associated with resonance but can be used to estimate pile stiffness at frequency ratios of 3. While Makris and Gazetas does not perform well for , better performance is achieved for beyond resonance and at high frequencies. Solutions obtained using Gazetas and Dobry , provide a good estimation for beyond resonance and for and beyond 3. Even though Mylonakis underestimates the resonance stiffness in swaying and rotation, the expression renders the Winkler model capable of predicting the dynamic stiffness in swaying-rotation over the whole frequency range. Figure 15 compares pile damping ratios for all modes. With the exception of Baranov-Novak, the Winkler model using the simple expressions is capable of capturing damping below resonance. At

Tribal governments or impose substantial direct compliance costs on them, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13084 do not apply. E. Paperwork Reduction Act This rule adopts new and revised information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The Department will publish a separate notice in the Federal Register inviting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the general public, and Federal agencies to comment on the new and revised information collection requirements contained in this document. As prescribed by the PRA, the requirements will not go into effect until OMB has approved them and the Department has published a notice announcing the effective date of the information collection requirements. F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Department has determined that the requirements of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to this rule. G. National Environmental Policy Act The Department has analyzed the environmental impacts of this proposed action pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and has determined that it is categorically excluded pursuant to DOT Order 5610.1C, Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts (44 FR 56420, Oct. 1, 1979). Categorical exclusions are actions identified in an agency’s NEPA implementing procedures that do not normally have a significant impact on the environment and therefore do not require either an environmental assessment (EA) or environmental impact statement (EIS). See 40 CFR 1508.4. In analyzing the applicability of a categorical exclusion, the agency must also consider whether extraordinary circumstances are present that would warrant the preparation of an EA or EIS. Id.

Research partners 1. Australian Safety Alliance (ACSA) 3.3 Models to address diversity Good practice in delivering and evaluating interventions for young people with sexually abusive behaviours Young people account for a significant proportion of perpetrators of sex abuse against children and young people and many have a history of childhood trauma including exposure to domestic and family violence. Such knowledge has seen a shift in treatment approaches toward specialised therapeutic services. For a variety of reasons however, there has been significant disparity in the therapeutic models applied. This mixed methods study will utilise: • national mapping of service responses to young people with sexually abusive behaviours (SABs); • a comparative process evaluation of three services (including interviews and focus groups with program managers and practitioners and interviews with clients and statutory and policy professionals. The fieldwork will also include interpretation of findings with practitioner participants); and • conclude with a research to policy/practice forum. The forum will test and refine insights from the three sites to inform future policy and service model design. This project will utilise the knowledge of practitioners and other stakeholders to better understand the complex interplay between program design and outcomes and contextual factors that shape therapeutic responses in order to support a practice-informed understanding of good practice principles of specialised interventions, informing future therapeutic approaches. 2 years $196,055 Lead: VIC Partners: 1.

Her skills are widely sought after as demonstrated by her time as President of NDS from 2012 to 2015 and as an NDS Board Member for almost 10 years. Vicki’s outstanding record of service to NDS and the community sector underlines the confidence that people have in her. In the Northern Territory she is listened to by both sides of politics and is highly among consumer advocates. Everyone that knows Vicki can attest to her passion to make a positive contribution to the lives of people who use disability and other community services. Recently Vicki was named the new Northern Territory Administrator, a position equivalent to state governor. The loss for the disability sector is in every way a gain for the Northern Territory. Life Member: Jason McKey In recognition of his outstanding contribution to both NDS and the disability sector over many years, we were delighted to induct Jason McKey as a Life Member this year. has been contributing to the work of NDS since 1990, serving as a Board Member for 14 years, representing NDS on working groups and chairing a number of NDS committees – particularly the National Committee on Open Employment. His deep knowledge of open employment has greatly informed our policy work and influence on government. Beyond NDS Jason has been a strong advocate for international development in the sector. He has sponsored an inclusive school in a rural area of Bangladesh since 2000, initiating an innovative micro-credit program to self-fund employment ventures for people with disability. As a result, young people with disability and their mothers now own cattle and sell milk at the local markets. There are 55 families involved in the project and this is expected to grow as families repay their interest-free loans. NDS Life Membership is reserved for those individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to NDS. Jason McKey joined the following Life Members: Jean Garside OBE Michael Sumner Ted Petersen AM Joan MBE Felicity Purdy Bryan Woodford OAM Meet NDS: The team in the Territory The NDS team in the Top End gained some fresh faces this year.

Interest rate risk The Commission’s financial assets and liabilities are predominantly non-interest bearing. The interest rate risk is not considered material in the context of the overall activity of the Commission. Credit risk The Commission is exposed to credit risk to the extent of non-performance by its counterparties in respect of financial assets receivable. The majority of those financial assets that are receivable are not material. The Commission is not, therefore, exposed to significant credit risk. 9a.
