Background: ODOT manages 196 acres of vernal pool habitat for the purposes of wetland and listed species mitigation in Central Point, Oregon. Vernal pools are a locally significant wetland type that supports unique plants and macro-invertebrate communities, including three state and federal protected species: vernal pool fairy shrimp ((Branchinecta lynchi), Cook’s desert parsley (Lomatium cookii) and large-flowered wooly meadowfoam (Limnanthes pumila spp. grandiflora). The property is a mix of oak woodland, oak savannah and open prairie/chaparral habitat with vernal pools occurring throughout the site. ODOT began restoration and enhancement of the vernal pool basins, swales and mounds in 2011 and have fully restored approximately 150 acres. Another 50 acres of the habitat is slated for restoration over the next several years. Starting in 2016 ODOT partnered with the Bee Girl organization to monitor pollinators at the restoration site as an indicator for restoration success.
ODOT and Restoration: Every time a sensitive wetland area is removed to build a road, straighten a curve, etc., it must be replaced or mitigated. ODOT keeps a “conservation bank” where they are working to restore large areas of vernal pool habitat. Once fully restored, it will be donated to The Nature Conservancy to manage in perpetuity. | public_administration |

Scientific advances as well as fast-evolving drone technology and its applications have today become indispensable in all phases of the disaster risk management cycle. COLLARIS is a capacity-building initiative to develop a sustainable European network of scientific, engineering, and end-user expertise related to unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in civil protection and disaster response. COLLARIS covers the following thematic focus areas:
- identification and sharing of operational procedures, lessons learnt, and best practices using UAS
- elaboration of air traffic management challenges, solutions, and operational practices
- acquisition of solutions for data analysis and data sharing, as well as auxiliary support systems (e.g. simulators)
- development of methods for increasing end-user competences
- foresight of new developments and future use case scenarios to identify tomorrow’s needs and gaps, technological capabilities, and their potential applications
The general concept of COLLARIS is based on two assumptions: That the technical capabilities related to UAS will continue to develop rapidly, as will the scope of their application for civil protection and crisis management purposes; and that the gap between these recently created technical capabilities and the practical needs and operational practices of civil protection not utilising them yet will remain a permanent challenge. Therefore, there is a clear need for establishing a stable long-term mechanism to continuously support the civil protection community in gradual implementing innovations enabled by UAS developments. The COLLARIS-based community will make an important contribution to achieve that.
COLLARIS will offer a networking platform as part of the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network for information exchange and experimentation with advanced concepts of UAS for disaster response and crisis management. These activities are accompanied by thematic workshops, webinars, and moderated discussions as well as trials and embedded first responder trainings, aimed at increasing the efficiency of UAS operations by bringing knowledge closer to operational use.
Representatives of civil protection authorities at all levels, first responders, crisis management practitioners, and researchers interested in issues related to further development and operational use of UAS in their activities are cordially invited to join the COLLARIS Network initiatives. | public_administration |

The Proclamation reads:
Whereas: February 17, 2014 marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of Missing Children Minnesota; and
Whereas: The education of our children in personal safety and the support of searching families is in the interest of all Minnesotans; and
Whereas: Missing Children Minnesota has tirelessly worked to provide valuable and effective prevention education to the public as well as support for searching families.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, MARK DAYTON, Governor of Minnesota, di hereby proclaim Monday, February 17, 2014, as:
The 30th Anniversary of Missing Children Minnesota in the state of Minnesota.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Minnesota to be affixed at the State Capitol this 10th day of February.
Missing Children Minnesota (MCM) was founded on Feb 17th in 1984.
This date is significant for a number of reasons in the missing children community. It is the birthdays of two of Minnesota’s long-term missing children; Jacob Wetterling and Corrine Erstad. More specific to Missing Children Minnesota, February 17th is also the day that our Executive Director, Carol Watson’s missing son was found safe. Hope for the missing, gratitude for those who have been found safe, and remembrance for those found injured or deceased motivate us to continue our mission into the future.
The mission of Missing Children Minnesota is to help in locating missing children; to provide advocacy and support services to families of missing children and to provide information and prevention education to the public regarding missing children and runaways.
In addition to search assistance, we also provide four critically acclaimed educational programs to children and adults throughout Minnesota and all across the country. Every year, MCM presents abduction prevention and personal safety programs to schools, daycare centers, early childhood and family education groups, churches and children's vacation camps.
We hope that by providing children with the information they need to be safer this year, we will have fewer missing children next year. In 2013 MCM provided education to approximately 2,000 adults and children, and search assistance for 32 searching families.
You can bring our education programs to children in your area or contact us about a missing child by calling (612) 334-9449, or by e-mailing inquiries to [email protected]. Our phone is staffed 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year.
Our assistance to searching families is always free of charge.

The estate can either be directed by manner of the deceased’s Last Will and Testament, and in the absence of same, the Interstate Succession Act.
If the value of the estate exceeds R250 000, letters of Executorship (LOE) must be issued by the Master and the full process prescribed by the Act must be followed.
If the value of the estate is less than R250 000, the Master may instead of a LOE, issue letters of authority (LOA) in terms of section 18(3) of Administration of Estates Act meaning the full process prescribed by the Administration of Estates Act (the Act)will not have to be followed.
The appointed Executor is the accountable person in the administration process, and often the decease entrusted a spouse, child, friend or family member to oversee this mammoth task. Should the administration process not be done correctly and not comply with the provisions of the Will and the Act, the executor could be held personally liable. | public_administration |

The gift, which includes the steel that will be required to construct the Global War on Terrorism Memorial, was announced during With Honor Action's biennial dinner, attended by over 200 distinguished individuals, including nearly 30 bipartisan veterans serving in Congress. When complete, the Global War on Terrorism Memorial will stand as a testament to those who have sacrificed for our nation in a prominent location between the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the iconic National Mall.
For more than two decades, over two million Americans have served in the Global War on Terrorism, spanning the globe in defense of freedom. Tragically, over 7,000 American service members have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The Global War on Terrorism Memorial will not only honor their service but also pay tribute to their families and all those who have safeguarded our liberties throughout this complex, multi-generational conflict.
The journey to establish a Global War on Terrorism Memorial began in 2016 when legislation for its creation was first introduced in Congress. Following tireless advocacy efforts, particularly by the bipartisan For Country Caucus of veterans in the U.S. House and Senate, Congress authorized the Memorial's creation in 2021, granting permission for its construction on the Reserve portion of the National Mall.
On behalf of the entire Nucor family, Nucor’s President and CEO, Leon Topalian stated, “We are honored to show our gratitude and respect to the brave men and women of our country who have served in the Global War on Terrorism and their families. We are grateful to the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation and our friends in the For Country Caucus for their inclusive vision and the opportunity to play a role in this effort. We hope tonight’s announcement brings greater awareness and support to this admirable project.”
Michael “Rod” Rodriguez, President and CEO of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation acknowledged the Nucor gift as the largest single gift in the organization’s history. As a retired Army Green Beret with ten combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Rodriguez emphasized the significance of American-made Nucor steel in embodying the strength and resilience of the heroes who have served and sacrificed in the Global War on Terrorism. | public_administration |

"Prohibition ended nearly 90 years ago. There is absolutely no reason to maintain a state monopoly on the sale of alcohol. That's why I just introduced legislation to abolish the ABC system in Virginia." - Delegate Nick Freitas of Virginia
Virginia is one of the 17 states that still has a tight control on the selling of alcoholic beverages. The other 33 states, leave the sell of alcoholic beverages to independent retailers that have regulated liquor licenses. In California, the state constitution makes it it illegal for government agencies to make or sell alcoholic beverages.
The states that still have a monopoly on beer, wine, or liquor are Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
If this bill passes, it would be a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to expand in a market where they have little to no competition once Virginia ABC begins closing down their stores. | public_administration |

The group has been involved in reference activities including, among others, diagnostic, confirmatory and specialized testing, provides consulting on infections caused by respiratory viruses (A/B influenza virus including epidemiologically important subtypes, respiratory syncitial virus, human metapneumovirus, coronaviruses, adenoviruses, parainfluenza viruses and Mycoplasma penumoniae), Herpes viruses (varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2, HHV6, and HHV8), enteroviruses (polioviruses and other enteroviruses) and last but not least viruses causing exanthematous diseases (morbillivirus, rubella virus, parvovirus B19, and mumps virus). All NRLs have been involved in the external quality assessment schemes (EQAS) for testing proficiency of field laboratories. The proficiency testing covers mainly the serology, but also molecular biological diagnosis and virus isolation. The EQAS samples are provided by the World Health Organization, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), other leading institutes (e.g. the Robert Koch Institute), or commercial organizations. Research activities focus on molecular biological diagnostic procedures and characterization of influenza virus in relation to severity of disease.
The NRLs of this Department participate in the European WHO (FluNet. EuroFlu) and ECDC surveillance networks (TESSy). | public_administration |

At least 16 people have been killed and 16 others injured after a massive landslideburied dozens of homes in an Andean community in central Ecuador, the country’s emergency response agency reported.
Ecuador’s Risk Management Secretariat said on Monday that seven people remained missing hours after the rain-fuelled landslide hit Alausi, a small town about 317km (197 miles) south of the capital, Quito, on Sunday night.
The agency estimated that 500 people and 163 homes were affected by the disaster, which also destroyed a portion of the Pan-American Highway.
The governor of Chimborazo, Ivan Vinueza, said that some of the injured have been taken to area hospitals. He added that residents and rescuers have been ordered to evacuate the area due to the imminent risk of new landslides.
Residents told local media they heard tremors on the mountain before the landslide, which is estimated to be about 150m (490 feet) wide.
Firefighters from half a dozen cities were dispatched to the area to help. | public_administration |

The Roane Choral Society appreciates your support of various fundraising programs throughout the year. Funds raised provide singing opportunities for adults as well as a children's choir.
Tennessee Arts Commission
The Tennessee Arts Commission was created in 1967 by the General Assembly to stimulate and encourage public interest in the cultural heritage of Tennessee.
Through a variety of programs, the Tennessee Arts Commission has encouraged excellence in artistic expression through the state's artists and arts organizations. That commitment has continued to expand through the years to ensure that the citizens of Tennessee have the opportunity to access and participate in the arts. These activities give Tennessee citizens a better quality of life, provide our children with a more complete education, and attract tourists to our state.
The Roane Choral Society is a proud recipient of limited funding provided by the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville.
In Tennessee when you purchase certain specialty license plates, a portion of the proceeds supports the arts. The Specialty License Plate Program was created in the 1980's to provide a dedicated revenue source for arts and cultural activities in the state. The Tennessee Arts Commission now has four license plates of its own with the addition of the new Arts plate, and 90% of the $35 directly funds the arts in communities across the state. Specialty License Plate funding provides local arts programming for children and communities distributed through the Tennessee Arts Commission, a state agency. In FY14, over 5.3 million dollars was invested in nonprofit organizations, K-12 public schools and artists across the state. Of that $5.3 million, $4.5 million was generated through the sale of specialty license plates. In a time when arts funding is shrinking, there has never been a better opportunity for art supporters to back the arts with a specialty license plate. It's simple to get yours today. Just visit your local county clerk's office and ask for one. You can exchange your license plate anytime, not just when your tags expire. Your fees will be prorated. You can also personalize your plate with up to 5 characters for an additional $35.
We Need You!

See Inside Our School Program
Please check out this video!
The awesome folks of the United Way of Elkhart IN demonstrate the impact of our program!
It warms & energizes our hearts as we take off on a new year of training educators, parents & working hands-on with wonderful students needing a boost to reach their potential!
Here’s a little background:
Darren Bickel helped to develop a video to showcase how the United Way of Elkhart is helping to change lives through the Minds-in-Motion activities.
Teachers, students, parents, and superintendents were interviewed to help explain just how Minds-in-Motion has impacted their lives.
The United Way Partnership Started 10 Years Ago!
Several years ago, Candace Meyer, founder of Minds-in-Motion, was invited to Elkhart, IN, close to Notre Dame University, to train early childhood teachers in Minds-in-Motion protocols.
After several schools began showing documented improvements in their students throughout the school year – the Minds-in-Motion school program took off!
According to Darren Bickel, then Vice President of Community Investment for the United Way of Elkhart County, it was clear that Minds-in-Motion was making valuable changes in students’ lives. As a result, the United Way was motivated to get the program in more schools.
Competitive grants of $1000 were donated by the United Way to encourage more schools – plus more training opportunities with Minds-in-Motion were coordinated by the United Way.
At this time, over 52 area schools, including pre-schools, middle schools, and even community centers, are now participating in Minds-in-Motion exercises daily in Elkhart County. It seems to be the Minds-in-Motion capital of the world!
We are so excited about this video! | public_administration |

1. The Attorney Generals Chambers have cleared 1MDB of any wrongdoings with regard to the use of the funds approved by Bank Negara for foreign investments.
2. But Bank Negara is obviously not satisfied and appealed to the AG without any change in the report. Again the AG rejected the appeal.
3. We know of course that the AG is empowered to decide whether a case should go to court or not. The presumption is that the AG would appreciate and understand the seriousness or otherwise of the case before him, that he would appreciate the concern of the complainant or agency making the report, that if there is dissatisfaction the case should be judged in a court of law by a judge and if still dissatisfied that an appeal be allowed.
4. That should be the way. But it would seem that the AG has made the judgement, rejecting the case as having no merit for a hearing in a court of law. And when an appeal is made, the appeal is dismissed by him on grounds which are not clear. There is a lack of transparency here.
5. Is this the rule of law that this country is supposed to uphold? Is the AG higher than a judge, that his judgement is final and there can be no appeal?
6. In this particular case the people would like to know whether the Prime Minister is involved or not. By dismissing this case suspicions will remain in the minds of the people. In fact people are thinking that the decision of the AG may not be by the AG.
7. On the other hand we are seeing people being detained under a law supposedly meant for curbing terrorism.
8. In his speech when introducing Rang Undang-Undang Kesalahan Keselamatan (Security Offences (Special Measures) Act) 2012 the PM said activities which undermine parliamentary democracy is interpreted as an activity carried out by an individual or a group with the intention of toppling or undermining parliamentary democracy through violence and in contravention of the Constitution
9. The Security Offences law itself confines its application to security matters. It provides for the arrest and detention by a police officer any person whom he has reason to believe to be involved in security offences for twenty-four hours and for the purpose of investigations, detention can be extended for not more than twenty-eight days.
10. The arrests of Dato Khairuddin and his lawyer Matthias Chang have created fear among the people that reporting about wrongdoings of the Government and its officers constitute threats to security. Whistle-blowers which the Government is said to encourage, is now threatened with the danger of being accused of threatening the nations security.
11. With this the call by the Rulers for probes to be conducted fairly and in a transparent manner can no longer be achieved. There are literally dozens of people with knowledge of the wrongdoings in 1MDB who will not risk giving evidence or making accusations because they risk being detained and charged under the Security Offences Act.
12. We all know that the investigations into the 1MDB affairs and the USD 700 million in Dato Sri Najibs personal account has been jeopardised by the removal of the AG, the transfer of the MACC officers, the emasculation of the Public Accounts Committee and the implied threat against Bank Negara. Now lawyers for the defence can be questioned and detained.
13. These actions have intensified the lack of confidence and distrust of the people in the Government. Merely by stating the investigation is on going will not convince people that truth will prevail.
14. In the eyes of the world Malaysia has become a pariah state, a state where anyone can be hauled up and questioned by the police, detained and charged through abusing the laws of the country.
15. And the AGs Chambers will dismiss or disregard any report of wrongdoing that involves the Prime Minister.
16. Already the members of the Government are saying that no one, not even the Rulers may comment on obvious Government abuses of the laws of the country. | public_administration |

Province Funds Placement of 49 AEDs
We are pleased to announce that every New Brunswick school will now be equipped with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) thanks to a partnership between the provincial government and the Heart & Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick.
“Public schools play a central role as gathering places for all age groups in communities across the province,” explained Bruce Fitch, Minister of Health for the Government of New Brunswick. "This investment in AEDs means every community with a school now has access to this life-saving equipment.”
A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time, and occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. Survival rates drop significantly without an AED or Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). When AEDs are used in combination with CPR within the first few minutes, the chances of survival can double. Quick access to an AED in the event of a cardiac arrest is critical to saving lives.
“We have seen time and time again the impact that AEDs can have when utilized in a timely manner,” explained Dr. Michel D’Astous, Cardiologist, Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre and Heart & Stroke NB Board member. “It is a matter of life and death, and today we can celebrate that every school in our province is helping to close a gap in the delivery of emergency medical services.” Experts recommend that AEDs be available in locations where large groups of people gather, or where EMS may take longer to reach.
AEDs are effective, safe and user-friendly devices that have been specifically designed for anyone to use. In a situation where every second counts, Heart & Stroke NB is focused on making AEDs widely accessible in as many public spaces as possible.
“Ensuring that our schools are a safe place for children and adults to use these facilities is very important,” said Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Bill Hogan.“Our education facilities are a safe place for community members to come together and take part in various events.”
Because of the generosity of many donors, 471 AEDs have been installed in communities around the province, according to Kurtis Sisk, CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick. Sisk noted at the announcement, “We are proud that some of those units have already been used by heroic bystanders to save the lives of many New Brunswickers. With this announcement, we are not only able to make AEDs more accessible to more people, but we are also spreading awareness about the vital impact of this life-saving tool.”

Contact: Dr. Paul Alito
The Dansville Central School district serves just under 2000 students encompassing 10 municipalities.
Dansville’s first school opened in 1798. As was typical of the time a number of small schools sprang up over the next several decades. However, as the population grew, discussion began in 1881 to merge several of the local districts into one. In 1883 a Union school meeting was held to officially merge two district schools into one. Later that year the Union school opened and with it Dansville had its first public high school. In 1885 the school was registered with the New York State Education Department and could henceforth grant diplomas.
In 1926 a Central School District was created as the districts of North Dansville, Town of Dansville (Steuben County), and West Sparta combined to become one district. The following year the new high school (now occupied by Genesee Community College on Clara Barton Street) opened its doors. As the population continued to grow and the existing school aged, it was decided that a new elementary school was needed. The current school opened in 1953. The building was named for former principal and Superintendent Ellis B. Hyde in 1960. The primary school opened in 1968 and grades K-3 moved from the elementary school into the new building.
Overcrowding in the high school caused the district to go to “double sessions” in 1962 as the school board tried to offer a building plan the voters would approve. Finally the new high school building was built and opened in September, 1965. Grades 10-12 attended the high school while grades 7-9 remained at the Clara Barton Street building. In 1994 the configuration changed as the 9th grade moved to the High School and grades 6-8 now studied in the Middle School. In 2011 the Clara Barton Street school was closed and all students now attend classes at the North Main Street campus. DCSD currently serves approximately 1600 PK-12 students.
Some Interesting Facts:
- The school colors were reported to be Red and Black as far back as 1912.
- The Alma Mater first appeared in the 1912 yearbook.
- In 1941 the basketball team was so successful that the local paper held a contest to choose a mascot. The mustang was selected and remains today as the school mascot.
- In 1962 the athletic field was named Ralph Clements Field in memory of the long time teacher, coach and administrator.

The Amendments add temporary provisions that are designed to help borrowers avoid foreclosure in the wake of many state and federal COVID-19-related protections ending. The Amendments:
- require special COVID-19 loss mitigation procedural safeguards to ensure that a borrower has a meaningful opportunity to apply for loss mitigation before the mortgage account is referred to foreclosure after national foreclosure moratoria have ended,
- provide servicers the ability to offer borrowers certain COVID-19-related streamlined loan modifications without a complete loss mitigation application,
- require the provision of additional information promptly after early intervention live contacts are established with certain delinquent borrowers, and
- establish timing requirements for when servicers must renew reasonable diligence efforts to obtain complete loss mitigation applications from certain borrowers.
The Amendments temporarily add to the foreclosure protection conditions in certain circumstances. From August 31, 2021 through December 31, 2021, unless an exception applies, before referring certain 120-day delinquent accounts for foreclosure the servicer must make sure at least one of the temporary procedural safeguards has been met.
Procedural Safeguards. The three temporary procedural safeguards are:
- The borrower was evaluated based on a complete loss mitigation application and existing foreclosure protection conditions are met. To meet this safeguard, the servicer must confirm that:
- The borrower submitted a complete loss mitigation application, and the servicer evaluated the application.
- The borrower remained delinquent since submission of the loss mitigation application.
- The foreclosure protection conditions in the existing Rules discussed above, are met, such that a servicer is permitted by the Rules to make a foreclosure referral.
- The property is abandoned. To meet this safeguard, applicable state or local law must consider the property securing the mortgage abandoned when referred to foreclosure.
- The borrower is unresponsive to servicer outreach. To meet this safeguard, the servicer must not have received any communications from the borrower in the 90 days prior to the foreclosure referral and the servicer must confirm:
- It has complied with the early intervention live contact requirements in the Mortgage Servicing Rules during that 90-day period.
- It has provided the early intervention 45-day written notice required by the Mortgage Servicing Rules. The servicer must have sent the notice at least 10 but no more than 45 days before foreclosure referral.
- It has complied with all loss mitigation notice requirements in the Mortgage Servicing Rules during that 90-day period, such as the notice of an incomplete loss mitigation application.
- The borrower’s forbearance program, if applicable, ended at least 30 days before foreclosure referral.
Exceptions. The temporary procedural safeguards are not required if:
- The foreclosure referral occurs (as permitted by applicable law) on or after January 1, 2022.
- The borrower was more than 120 days delinquent prior to March 1, 2020.
- The applicable statute of limitations will expire before January 1, 2022.

As the nation reached one full year of living with—or dying from—COVID, we surpassed the grim benchmark of half a million people lost to COVID. Tens of millions of people #MarkedByCOVID are simultaneously fighting a pandemic and managing a groundswell of individual and collective grief.
That’s why people marked by COVID, along with mayors, state legislators, and Members of Congress took action on March 1, 2021 as part of a coordinated call for an annual COVID-19 Memorial Day in remembrance of those we’ve lost and will lose as a result of this preventable disaster.
Mark the date: Creating a public memory: More than 120 grassroots COVID Memorial Day events are being planned by Activists across the country on March 1, 2021 in solidarity with all #MarkedByCOVID and to call for a national holiday and permanent memorials. Many are happening in collaboration with artists from Floral Heart Project, Rose River Memorial, and Faces of COVID Victims and will culminate in a virtual COVID Memorial Day Vigil co-hosted by Marked By COVID + Reimagine.
State legislators and other public officials are also marking the date: Representative Greg Stanton (D-AZ 9th) introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives expressing support for the designation of the first Monday in March to be COVID-19 Victims and Survivors Memorial Day. State legislators in CA, AZ, MI, GA, CO and other public officials have also filed COVID Memorial Day resolutions.
Plus, 152 mayors in 36 states took action: 113 mayors across 24 states passed local ordinances in their cities to proclaim the first Monday in March COVID Memorial Day. And more than 65 mayors from both sides of the aisle in over 30 states sponsored a U.S. Conference of Mayors Resolution to recognize the first Monday of March as COVID-19 Memorial Day.
Memorialization and recognition cannot wait any longer. The call from the community is clear: We need ways to publicly grieve, heal, recognize, learn, and prevent this from ever happening again. This must happen immediately and as one united nation. | public_administration |

WASHINGTON, D.C. — July 10, 2020 — Today, Delta Dental Plans Association (DDPA) applauded the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) action to make federal relief funding available for dentists harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Delta Dental’s collaboration and partnership with HHS was integral in ensuring the nation’s dentists were included in the list of providers eligible to receive these much-needed funds.
“America called and Delta Dental answered,” said Jason Daughn, Vice President of Government Relations at Delta Dental Plans Association. “Through our engagement with HHS’ senior leadership, Delta Dental was able to share critical data that demonstrated the significant financial harm dentists and dental practices are experiencing due to the current pandemic. As a result, HHS moved immediately to add dentists to the list of providers eligible for this funding. By ensuring dentists have access to funding to safely reopen offices and provide care, we are fulfilling our mission of improving America’s oral health. We are proud to help make a difference in the lives of not just the 156,000 dentists in Delta Dental’s network, but every practicing dentist in America.”
At HHS’ request, DDPA provided the agency with a significant, national data set including “submitted claims” (payment requests to an insurance company by a dental provider for covered services) received by Delta Dental companies from across the country for parallel weeks: March – April 2019; March – April 2020. The statistics, from the number of claims submitted by providers, to patient counts, told a powerful story. “In the wake of stay-at-home and dental office closure mandates being enforced across the country, the data was clear: The nation’s dentists have been seriously harmed and need this funding,” Daughn said.
DDPA remained in close contact with senior leaders at HHS to provide assistance and support, including how to most efficiently and effectively get relief funding into the hands of dentists. Ultimately, HHS determined establishing a web portal that providers could visit to request funding was the most practical approach. According to HHS, a dental provider can use this relief funding to cover any number of practice-related costs including, but not limited to, office lease or rent payments, staff salaries, personal protective equipment, and structural office enhancements.
Delta Dental companies are committed to supporting community and public health efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the measures was the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) of 15%, which is meant to curb speculation by foreign investors in southern Ontario.
The brass tax of the NRST
The NRST has been in force since April 21, 2017. It imposes a 15% tax on real estate purchases of any property that would be considered a single-family residence that is purchased by a foreign national, entity or corporation. The full text of the NRST is available here.
Refugees and immigrants are not subject to the NRST. Additionally, a rebate program is available for foreign nationals who obtain Canadian citizenship – they can receive a rebate of the tax if they become a citizen within four years. Students enrolled in a Canadian institution for at least two years are also exempt from the NRST. A foreign national student would only receive the rebate after two years of full-time attendance at a Canadian university or college.
The NRST’s geographic scope expands well beyond Toronto and the GTA. It includes the following municipalities:
- Kawartha Lakes
Vancouver foreign buyer’s tax sparks GTA’s NRST
After a foreign buyer’s tax of 15% was levied to cool housing prices in Vancouver, there was evidence that firms marketing Canadian real estate shifted their focus to Toronto. However, the Toronto Real Estate Board surveyed Toronto area Realtors and found that only around 5% of real estate transactions conducted in 2016 were from foreign buyers.
Around a quarter of those purchases were rental investments, with the rest being purchases of homes for the individual or a family member. The percentage of foreign buyers was much higher in Vancouver – it was just above 15% before the B.C. government introduced its foreign buyer’s tax in 2016. It subsequently dropped to about 4% as of December 2016 – only a percentage point below the TREB’s estimated percentage of foreign buyers in Toronto and the GTA.
The Ontario government first showed a distaste for introducing a similar tax in 2016, preferring to let market forces prevail. However, winds changed as the public became increasingly concerned with skyrocketing housing and rental costs in Toronto and the GTA and the Fair Housing Plan was introduced in April 2016 with the NRST as a prominent plank in the Plan.
Various Reactions to the NRST
The Toronto Real Estate Board didn’t have anything specific to say about the NRST in its statement reacting to the Fair Housing Plan, but did say that more empirical data is required before policy decisions are made. We didn’t really know the numbers of foreign nationals that were buying into the Toronto and GTA markets prior to the enactment of the Fair Housing Act; that data will be available to the government once the Plan has been in force for a few months.
Tim Hudak, CEO of the Ontario Real Estate Association, had this to say about the NRST. “The main culprit behind rapidly rising house prices is the GTA’s unbalanced market – housing supply cannot meet demand – not foreign buyers.”
TD Economist Beata Caranci argues in favour of the tax, stating that it has worked well in international jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Melbourne to cool housing markets but not to slow them down. However, she added in a joint statement with other TD economists that “Ultimately, it is unknown what degree of home sales are related to this speculative behavior.”
Will the NRST cool a hot housing market?
Tim Hudak’s argument for supply not meeting demand seems sound, but it remains to be seen how much of that demand was generated by foreign investors. Parsing it out further, how much of that demand is being generated by foreign investors speculating on the market? If 25% of homes purchased by foreign nationals in 2016 were rental property investments, that’s an income-generating venture which allows for more rental supply for tenants, not speculation.
Until the data comes in, we won’t have any numbers – and that is the TREB’s point. The B.C. government did it right by gathering data prior to enacting its legislation, and found that a high percentage of property purchases were coming from foreign buyers. The Ontario government has put the cart before the horse, and will no doubt reap the tax rewards of such a move, but it isn’t evidence-based policy decision making.
One thing is certain – the NRST is an effective tool to curb speculation for those who were looking to speculate in the Vancouver market and shifted gears to Toronto. However, the number of transactions which occurred because of that shift is unknown – we’ll know soon enough. In the meantime, bidding wars will continue in Toronto and the GTA, and the only change is that foreign buyers may not be parties to those wars. | public_administration |

There are plenty of ways you can do this, but some ways are definitely more impactful than others. Because vehicles are a huge contributor to pollution and a drain on fossil fuels, many people are switching to alternative forms of transportation in order to do their part.
You may have wondered, does biking help gas consumption on a worldwide scale? There are many people who believe that it does. This quick guide will help answer the question, “How much do bikes help the environment?” Let’s dive in.
The research is in and it has concluded that switching to bicycle transportation is the way to go in order to reduce carbon emissions. This is especially true in big cities. Large cities produce more carbon emissions per square mile and they are already set up to be easily biked. It only makes sense that this is a great place to start making important transportation changes.
Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark, and China have already taken bold steps to encourage citizens in big, bikeable cities to make the change. These countries are building bike infrastructure that will help to support bikers and keep them safe while they travel.
Research conducted by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy has studied the impact that transitioning to bike transportation can make on a city’s carbon emissions. It is estimated that bikes and e-bikes could help to cut carbon emissions by 11% if, by 2050, 14% of travel in big cities were done this way. This estimate is on a worldwide scale.
What We Need
In order to make these types of bold and impactful changes, there are several things needed.
Education: First and foremost, individuals need to be properly educated on the need to reduce carbon emissions. As of today, there are still huge groups of people that simply refuse to believe that this is even an issue.
Bike infrastructure: Bike infrastructure refers to making cities more bike-friendly and safe. Many people skip the idea of biking to work or around the city simply based on safety reasons. When bike infrastructure is not established, bikers feel threatened and unsafe. Cities must commit to building infrastructure that will protect bikers and encourage biking.
Bike access: It is also important that more bikes are made available in cities that do have strong infrastructure.
Bike safe laws: Creating laws that protect bikers and hold drivers accountable is also important. Currently, most traffic laws favor drivers over bikers.
Bikes and the Economy
Some wonder, how do bikes help the economy? This is looking at the issue from the wrong perspective. If the goal is a cleaner environment, then the impact on the economy is not the priority. Over time, less reliance on gas and vehicles would impact the economy drastically, but in the long run, the health of our planet would thrive.

"I think we have to restructure these large land-grant universities into public-private hybrids that can satisfy their role as flagship universities for states like New Jersey. We have to be more sustainable, less buffeted by year-to-year shifts in state funding and economic environment. We have to be more diversified, more pro-active in looking at alternative revenue streams."Like it or not, that's the new reality we're living in.

Our aim is to identify and prioritise what needs to be done to achieve a cultural change that will reduce alcohol harms and improve the health and wellbeing of Queenslanders.
The QCAA is fashioned on the National Alliance for Action on Alcohol (NAAA). It comprises a number of organisations within Queensland who have an interest in alcohol harm reduction and/or public health.
The founding members of QCAA are Healthy Options Australia, the Australian Medical Association Queensland (AMAQ), Queensland Alcohol and Drug Research and Education Centre (QADREC), the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) and Lives Lived Well.
Current members include:
- Australian Medical Association Queensland
- Collaboration for Alcohol Related Developmental Disorders
- Drug and Alcohol Nurses Australasia
- Drug ARM Australasia
- Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE)
- Healthy Options Australia
- Lives Lived Well
- Royal Australian College of Surgeons (Queensland)
- Salvation Army
- Queensland Alcohol and Drug Research and Education Centre
- Queensland Homicide Victims Support Group
- Queensland Network of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies
This broad-based Queensland alliance has come together to pool collective expertise and knowledge around what strategies are needed to reduce the harms associated with the drinking culture in Queensland.
The QCAA has prepared a plan of action for the Queensland Government which includes four evidence-based solutions to reduce alcohol-related harms.
The plan acknowledges that no single strategy will reduce alcohol-related harms, and so instead a range of evidence-based strategies are required to achieve the best possible outcomes. There is a role for the Queensland Government in addressing the availability, price and promotion of alcohol through state based legislation and regulation. | public_administration |

Commercial Enforcement Hold
This is a broad definition for any hold put on a shipment to address issues that arise in regards to customs regulations. In addition to the U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP), many other agencies involved with regulating goods entering the country can determine whether one of these holds is placed on a shipment. These “other” agencies include the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) among others. U.S. Customs is the watchdog for all of them.
Statistical Validation Hold
These holds are triggered based on discrepancies between the information in the customs manifest (submitted before departure from the port of loading) and the shipment itself (i.e commercial value, cargo weight, etc.) as provided on the shipment documentation during customs clearance.
CET Hold (A-TCET)
This hold is placed by the Anti-Terrorism Contraband Enforcement Team, a division of U.S. Customs & Border Patrol (CBP), when there is a suspicion that the shipment contains illegal contraband (i.e. Drugs, firearms, etc.)
As with the Commercial Enforcement Hold (detailed above), a number of Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) regulate products entering the U.S. Any of these agencies may instruct CBP to place a PGA hold on a shipment to ensure that it meets compliance regulations.
How will I know if there’s a hold on my shipment?
U.S. CBP will notify the customs broker and importer electronically of any holds. Upon further review, CBP may either decide to have the cargo inspected, or simply request additional information via submission of backup documentation (e.g. commercial invoices, packing lists, and/or various certification[s] depending on the commodity in question). The hold is then either released or escalated for one or more other intensive types of exams. | public_administration |

This decision follows a number of considerations, among others, the elephant’s advanced age.
The retirement may include giving Charley the opportunity to have a partner following the death of his late partner Landa, in 2019. Charley the elephant (aged 42) has been at the National Zoological Gardens for over 22 years after being exposed to a circus environment for about 20 years.
The recent comprehensive medical assessment done on Charley which covered hematological and blood chemistry analyses, fecal glucocorticoid metabolites analysis, bronchoalveolar lavage and a trunk wash, radiology of distal extremities, a dental and eye examination, as well as screening for tuberculosis (TB), shows that the elephant is in good health.
SANBI is working on a suitable retirement venue option to a sanctuary and would benefit from cooperation and support from stakeholders and partners to ensure the continued welfare of the elephant. The requisite pre-release protocols including but not limited to psychological and behavioural assessment are being facilitated.
The Chairperson of SANBI Board, Professor Edward Nesamvuni would like to take this opportunity to thank the NZG staff, the public, civil society stakeholders and partners for their support in ensuring the best possible life for Charlie in the Pretoria NZG. The date for retirement will be announced once all processes as per the above are finalised.
SANBI is committed to the welfare of all the animals in its care.

The move is meant to keep people in their homes and avoid a housing squeeze like the one that followed the mortgage-fueled financial crisis of 2008. And over the past week, there has been a groundswell across the country to protect renters as well. The Miami-Dade police in Florida said that they wouldn’t carry out evictions during the health crisis. A high-ranking New York State judge declared that the courts would consider no eviction cases until further notice. Gov. Gavin Newsom of California issued an executive order allowing cities to impose eviction moratoriums.
Mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will suspend foreclosures and evictions for at least 60 days as federal and business leaders respond to the growing COVID-19 crisis that will cost people their jobs and likely tip the economy into a recession.
In a statement Wednesday, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said the suspension by the mortgage giants applies to homeowners with a single-family mortgage, backed by either company.
Separately, the Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said that the Federal Housing Administration will be putting a sixty-day moratorium on foreclosures and evictions of single-family homeowners. It is also calling for a halt to all evictions of those living in FHA-insured single-family homes.
The moratorium only applies if you have a mortgage through these entities.
If you are not able to make your mortgage payment and are facing foreclosure, contact your mortgage company and ask how to proceed. | public_administration |

Other families experience close calls when a child has a submersion incident or near-drowning and requires emergency room attention or hospitalization. Some children are permanently brain damaged by these incidents.
The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act was designed to reduce deaths and submersion injuries by requiring public pools and spas to install new safety drain covers and other safety devices in certain circumstances. In addition, the P&SS Act calls for a public education and information campaign for consumers and industry professionals to raise awareness about drowning and entrapment prevention and to make sure all public pools and spas are compliant with the P&SS Act.
According to the CPSC 2013 Pool and Spa Submersion Report: Estimated Injuries and Reported Fatalities:
- Seventy-six percent of reported fatalities involved children younger than 5 years of age
- The overwhelming majority of the reported deaths and injuries happened in pools
- Eighty-five percent of fatalities of children less than 5 years of age occurred in residential locations
- Children between the ages of 12 to 35 months represented 64 percent of the 2008 – 2010 reported fatalities for children younger than 15
Key data about non-fatal submersion injuries:
- Seventy-eight percent of the ED-treated submersion injuries involved children younger than 5 years of age
- The overwhelming majority of the estimated submersion injuries annually between 2010 and 2012 were in pools
- Children between the ages of 12 and 35 months represented 64 percent of estimated injuries between 2008 and 2010
- 51 percent of the victims of ED-treated pool or spa submersion injuries for 2010 through 2012 were admitted to the hospital or treated and transferred to another hospital, compared to 4 percent for ED-treated injuries to children that age involving all types of consumer products during the same time
- Approximately 53 percent of the estimated injuries between 2007 and 2009, involving children younger than 15, occurred at a home pool or spa
Practicing water safety steps in public and residential pools and spas could significantly reduce the number of children who are injured in non-fatal submersions or who drown every year.
The Pool Safely campaign is designed to alert consumers and industry professionals to the numerous water safety steps that can be adopted to significantly reduce the number of child drowning deaths and submersion injuries that occur each year in the United States. | public_administration |

Online application portal on KDA website
FRANKFORT (Nov. 12, 2020) – The window to apply for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s 2021 hemp licensing program will open Monday, Nov. 16, Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles has announced.
“We believe there will be a long-term hemp market in Kentucky, but across America the hemp industry has been having a difficult year,” Commissioner Quarles said. “Acreage is down significantly across the nation in light of FDA regulatory burdens and overproduction concerns. There are some bright spots on the horizon, but we’ve always said we are building an industry from the ground up and that it is going to take time for the market to mature. As always, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture encourages growers to do their homework and assess the risk when evaluating whether or not to enter this industry.”
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA), which administers Kentucky’s hemp licensing program, is hosting an online application portal on its hemp webpage, kyagr.com/hemp. Grower applications must be submitted by March 15, 2021. Processor applications may be submitted year-round.
KDA also communicated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture that it will take advantage of language included in recent omnibus bill passed by Congress this year that allows states to continue operating hemp programs under the research pilot program provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill. The move is meant to help ensure a smooth transition for growers to the final rules planned to be issued by USDA next summer.
“With everything going on in the hemp industry nationally and the uncertainty with the pandemic, we think it is prudent to take another year under the research status provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill as we transition our program to whatever final rules are issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” Quarles said.
“Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles deserves our gratitude for his tireless leadership on behalf of Kentucky hemp growers. As we keep working with the USDA to overcome the remaining hurdles, Kentucky will continue to benefit from the stability of the hemp pilot program I established in the 2014 farm bill,” said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Even now, we’re seeing new examples of this crop’s versatility and potential. I’ll continue strongly advocating on behalf of hemp farmers, processors, and manufacturers for a workable regulatory framework in the USDA’s final rule.”
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture has submitted two rounds of comments on the Interim Final Rule to USDA to encourage the agency to develop a regulatory framework aligned more closely with the rules in Kentucky.

In the event that weather conditions necessitate delaying or closing schools, information will be announced by the local radio/TV stations, through our app and on the district website and social media. Families and staff are notified by the district through a phone call, email and text alert at 5:30 a.m. or as soon as possible. For how weather decisions are made, please read this overview and reference our Transportation Department Q&A.
Snow days will be made up according to the academic calendar.
Normal bus arrival times are pushed ahead by the respective delay.
1-hour delay schedule:
- Elementary begins at 9:10 a.m.
- Secondary begins at 9:40 a.m.
2-hour delay schedule:
- Elementary begins at 10:10 a.m.
- Secondary begins at 10:40 a.m.
3-hour delay schedule:
- Elementary begins at 11:10 a.m.
- Secondary begins at 11:40 a.m.
Cold Weather Guidelines
In the case of extreme cold, the district may consider a 1-hour delay, 2-hour delay, 3-hour delay or cancellation if the actual temperature dips below minus 5 degrees, and there is a windchill below minus 20 degrees. Any decision takes into account how long students are exposed to the cold and whether buses can operate properly. Sometimes it can be too cold for the amounts of fuel additive the district is allowed by state law to mix with school bus diesel fuel to prevent it from jelling.
For an additional way of finding out about weather-related announcements, download the free SCASD app available and on. Make sure you “allow notifications,” because that’s how weather alerts are communicated.
What are your procedures for early dismissals?
Sometimes, because of weather during the school day or impending conditions, the district must dismiss schools early in the interest of safety. In most cases, we will notify parents and guardians by noon through phone calls, emails and texts. | public_administration |

But before we dive into the goodies both parties are offering the electorate, some economists are suggesting the change of government will have little impact on the economy, interest rates or the housing market. Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy & Chief Economist at AMP says, “Unlike in 2019 when the ALP’s policy was to limit negative gearing and raise capital gains tax, which modelling indicated could reduce property prices by 2% to 9%, this time around the policy differences with respect to property between the ALP and the Coalition are minor.”
According to Shane, both sides are seeking to repair the budget through economic growth rather than austerity. “Neither side is proposing a significant reform agenda in key areas like tax, education, industrial relations, and housing affordability. With the exception of climate policy where the ALP is more aggressive, it’s hard to see a big impact on markets. Interestingly whether the RBA hikes in May or waits till after the election in June, interest rates will likely be a hot topic through the election campaign.”
Focus on small business
Where the parties seem to have a greater emphasis is in wooing the small business vote. In a keynote speech at the Council of Small Business Australia’s National Small Business Summit in April, Stuart Robert MP, Minister for Small and Family Business[i], said, “This sector is critical to the health and vitality of Australian society, and the work you collectively do is critical to the success of the sector.”
The Morrison Government, with the relevant state Governments, has announced $1.7 billion of support to New South Wales and over $1.35 billion to Queensland to rebuild after the floods.
This support includes measures for small businesses such as:
- $50,000 small business and not-for-profit grants and $75,000 primary producer grants;
- $7 million to expand the Commonwealth’s business recovery and resilience service into at least 30 of the most flood-affected regions of northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland; and
- $800,000 to provide free and independent case managed financial counselling to flood-affected small businesses through the Rural Financial Counselling Service under an extension of the Regional Small Business Support Program.
Cost of doing business pressures
While the cost of living pressure is the hot topic, the Coalition has its eyes laser-focused on the cost of doing business.
Fuel prices across the country are coming down. In the March Federal Budget, the government slashed 22 cents from the fuel excise for six months, and already this move is having an impact. Minister Roberts said, “This will go a long way to ease the pressure felt by you and your businesses and families, but we also expect this to have an impact right across the supply chain.”
The Morrison Government has also pledged to make energy supply more secure, affordable, and reliable for businesses as record levels of renewables hit the grid. The government is also providing $1.6 billion in tax relief to support more than 3.6 million small businesses to increase their digital uptake and skills capabilities through a bonus 20% deduction. “This is a big deal and will go a long way to modernising Australia’s small businesses,” Minister Roberts said.
The digital upskilling of Australia’s small businesses will be supported through the government’s broader $550 million Skills and Training Boost. Small businesses will be able to claim a bonus 20 per cent deduction for the cost of external training courses until 30 June 2024 – for every hundred dollars a small business spends on training their employees. They will get a $120 tax deduction.
Likewise, through the $1 billion Technology Investment Boost, small businesses will be able to claim a bonus 20% deduction for digital-related expenses and depreciating assets, up to $100,000 per year, until June 2023. So, for every hundred dollars small businesses spend on digital technologies like cloud computing, e-invoicing, cyber security and web design, they will get a $120 tax deduction.
The ALP pitch to small business
The Federal Opposition agrees that small business is the backbone of the Australian economy but argues the sector has been taken for granted for too long[ii]. Labor will:
- Ensure small businesses are paid on time to sustain growth across the economy with a mechanism to ensure payment within 30-days. According to Labour, the current average contract payment time sits at 37 days above the 30-day benchmark.
- Drive a genuine collaboration with small businesses and the government to reduce the time small businesses spend doing taxes, cut paperwork and target support. Eight out of 10 small businesses find government regulation overly complex.
- Reduce small business transaction costs at the point of payment with a clear timeline for implementing least-cost routing or similar. Small businesses are disproportionately impacted by higher transaction fees that eat into profits – around $804 million a year.
Labor also plans to maximise small business participation in Commonwealth procurement, providing more significant opportunities for business and Australian jobs. The Commonwealth can use its $190 billion purchasing power to support small businesses, deliver better value for money and grow the local economy.
Other promises made by Labor include providing fee-free TAFE courses to address skills shortages and cheaper childcare to remove barriers to returning to work.

The urgency to take measures to revive growth in the real estate was the need of the hour at the present scenario. However, the government recently announced Rs 25,000 crore funds for stalled affordable and mid-segment housing projects across the country to bring relief to the ailing residential sector and homebuyers. A rate cut would have surely boosted confidence in the segment bringing in the much-awaited momentum in sales. We still hope that the growth priority prevails and a substantial easing is brought about in the next policy cycle. | public_administration |

“Snow takes on a life of its own,” said Isiah Leggett, Montgomery County executive. “And, oftentimes, politicians and governments have been measured by snow and our ability to move it.”
After a large snowstorm, Montgomery County officials asked the public to share what could be learned from that experience, and the importance of removing snow was at the top of that list. In response, County executives are rolling out new initiatives to remove snow from more County sidewalks than ever before.
“We have a plan to remove the snow with some of our contract partners on these 350 miles of sidewalk throughout the County,” said Richard Dorsey, chief, highway services division.
With numerous contract partners, up to 250 highway services employees, and 175 pieces of County equipment designated for snow removal, Montgomery County looked to NeoTreks Plow Ops™ to more efficiently track plow driver status and improve road, weather and critical incident reporting. A digital ecosystem that integrates route assignments and reporting, Plow Ops helps state and local agencies like Montgomery County improve safety, increase efficiency and reduce weather-related delays.
Adapting to digital winter operations streamlines the communication process, including accurate and real-time travel information updates. Highlighting the importance of digitizing operations to bring real-time information to the public, County officials are also updating an interactive snow portal residents can access online. Real-time traveler information is critical for ensuring public safety and reducing costly weather-related delays and incidents.

Restroom seen as fundamental right
The Portland Observer
Until recently LaVergne Smith, a 41-year-old homeless woman, has had a reoccurring problem with something so basic many of us take it for granted: she needed to use the bathroom and had no where to go.
The city of Portland is hoping that Smith’s problem will be less common.
On Monday, Commissioner Randy Leonard unveiled the first of a new line of public toilets called “Loos” on Northwest Glisan Street and Sixth Avenue near the Greyhound bus station. The Loo is one of the city’s latest efforts to address a longstanding and messy problem.
Leonard noted that many politicians aspire to have public buildings named after them, but said, “it looks like I’m going to have to settle for a restroom,” and added that the facility fulfilled “a fundamental human right.”
A Loo looks like the toilet from the future. It is a sleek, metallic structure with an ovular shape. Three photovoltaic panels line the top, which soaks up sun and powers the Loo putting it completely off the electric grid.
Mayor-elect Sam Adams gave the Loo its maiden flush. Shortly after Leonard was awarded a golden plunger by Varner Seaman, an advocate for the homeless from Sisters of the Road Café.
Anna DiBenedetto, a staff assistant to Leonard, explained that the city took care to prevent the Loo from becoming a magnet for unsavory activities. It has louvers on the top and bottom, which allow onlookers to see how many people are in it.
Leonard said the structure’s sturdy build was intended to serve the largest cross section of people as possible including visitors, homeless, and downtown businesspeople.
“It’s designed to be abused,” he added.
There is also no sink in the Loo. Instead there is a spigot on the outside for hand washing and a hand sanitizer dispenser in the inside.
The city has been mulling over what to do with the lack of public restrooms in downtown for years. Its most recent solution was to keep a security guard staffed all night at City Hall so that the bathrooms could remain open. However, this cost about $120,000 annually.
“We cannot do nothing with people on the street,” said Lan Nguyen, the owner of the Northwest Orchid Salon and a member of Public Hygiene Lets Us Stay Human, a group formed in conjunction with the Old Town-Chinatown Neighborhood Association.
Nguyen said that since she started her Old Town business five years ago she’s had to constantly grapple with homeless doing their business on the steps of her salon, and is pleased to see the city step up to the issue.
Carol McCreary, the treasurer of the neighborhood association, said that the lack of public restrooms has been an issue since she moved to the neighborhood in 2003, and added that the association is pleased the city is addressing this longstanding issue.
“Portland stepped up to the plate,” she said.
Oldtown-Chinatown has a large population of homeless people, which is why it was chosen for the first Loo.
“I’m delighted,” said Fern Elledge, community service sector director for Transition Projects, which helps Portland’s homeless and is based in the neighborhood.
Leonard said he got the idea while on a vacation to Italy, where he saw similar facilities. That prompted him to wrangle $500,000 from city council awarded in increments last year and early this year.
The prototype Loo was built by local metal fabrication company, Madden Fabrication for $140,000. Leonard is hoping to put up two more Loos with the money left over.
Two sites being considered are Northwest Third Avenue and Couch Street, and another at Jamison Square in the Pearl District.
In the future, the cost to build the facilities is estimated to go down to around $25,000 a pop. The money would go to Portland’s Water Bureau, which Leonard heads.
Leonard is hoping the Loos will bring in money for the city by selling the design to other cities. DiBenedetto said that the city has received queries from Olympia, a suburb in Atlanta, and Victoria, Australia.
She said that the biggest difficulty with the project has been escaping the specter of a similar, and failed, project launched by Seattle several years ago. The elaborate and expensive toilets became hubs of unsavory activity and flopped, costing the city millions. Since then, people have been skeptical of Portland’s similar effort, said DiBenedetto.
However, Portland might be onto something. Paul Brubaker, program manager with the American Restroom Association, said that no other city has anything quite like the Loo, and that more cities are looking to add similar facilities to enhance their “livability.”
“There’s been an interest across the country for this,” he said. | public_administration |

In response, the National Institutes of Health-supported Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) conducted a series of online surveys to find out how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the rare diseases community. Now, the RDCRN is launching a survey for participants in the NIH COVID-19 antibody study (COVIDSRCH) to compare with the survey completed by individuals with rare diseases.
“We are looking for volunteers to help us gather knowledge on effects of the pandemic to compare with previously completed surveys done by the rare diseases community,” says Maurizio Macaluso, MD, DrPH, FACE, co-principal investigator with the RDCRN’s Data Management and Coordinating Center. “We want to help identify common issues with mental health support, access to treatment, vaccine availability and concerns, physical health, availability of supplies, or other problems.”
Results of the surveys will help the rare diseases research community shed light on the needs of people with rare diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential health crises, in addition to informing future research efforts.
This new survey COVIDSRCH participants extends a partnership the RDCRN forged in 2021 with the NIH. Now, the NIH will send a request to a group of 5,000 healthy participants identified from its initial serosurvey of the general population, inviting them to complete the RDCRN’s online survey.
Last year, respondents to the initial RDCRN COVID-19 impacts survey were also invited to participate in the NIH COVID-19 antibody study (COVIDSRCH). “By analyzing the results of the RDCRN impacts survey and the NIH serosurvey across both the rare disease community and COVIDSRCH participants, we are building a robust data set that will allow us to compare experiences with the pandemic across populations and over time,” says Macaluso. | public_administration |

“This project has put the needs of project stakeholders, including victims and survivors of Human Trafficking, at the center of our work” said Natalie Muyres Program Manager at #NotInMyCity. “This allows us to genuinely understand the current challenges and possibilities for improving data collection and reporting in the province.”
The Alberta Human Trafficking Data Portal (AHTDP) project aims to create a more complete picture of the scale of Human Trafficking in Alberta by bringing data together in a secure and usable way. Sources of data include national and provincial public data, and data from law enforcement and community serving agencies.
We are currently working together to secure data sharing agreements and data from project stakeholders for prototype development and will review the prototype with survivors to ensure the story we tell respects their lived experience. The project includes a multi-year road map for further development of data management, data sharing, and data analytics that can contribute to the prevention of Human Trafficking, protection and support of victims, and prosecution of offenders.
Natalie engaged with 31 experts representing 19 key organizations in Alberta over the last year. “We’re thankful to all of our stakeholders, law enforcement, social services organizations and grassroots community groups across Alberta. They’ve had the courage to catch the vision and exercise the collective will to think differently about how we collect and report data so we can have our fingers closer to the pulse of Human Trafficking activity in Alberta.”
#NotInMyCity would also like to thank PolicyWise and Data for Good who have been providing data related leadership and solutions for this project. | public_administration |

just to see you didn’t get those marks you were hoping for. But,
there is no need to worry! We have three ways to deal with this:
You can have your exam papers rechecked to ensure that all of your marks were added correctly! This will cost R18 a paper
It’s possible for your paper to be remarked to ensure that it was correctly checked the first time. You might pick up overlooked marks - this will process will cost R80 a paper.
The third solution is to apply to rewrite the paper in January. More often than not, students find they do better as they now have a good understanding of how the paper will be laid out. To find out all the details about rewriting examinations, contact your school or visit the Department of Education’s website: www.education.gov.za | public_administration |

On the eve of the celebration of the International day of Tolerance, which is celebrated on the 16th of November, I would like to emphasize the importance of the contribution to the improvement of the intercultural dialog amongst young people, which the participants of the Project make.
One of the main challenges of the present time is to bring up the young generation in the spirit of peace, respect of other peoples’ values, mutual understanding, spirit unity between the people of different cultures and beliefs.
Nowadays the Internet gives us a unique opportunity to manage a communication between the schoolchildren and students of different cities and countries. And exactly during the creative process in the context of the Internet-project the formation of the communication culture and tolerance to the others people’s points of view appears.
I am sure, that the International Internet-project “Friendship Bridges” will unite the educators, schoolchildren, and community of many regions of the country during its creative process, and this project will become another medium for making future lives on basis of love, tolerance, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.

At present government data relating to IPs in Cambodia is inconsistent and flawed. In 2009 the Statistics of National Policy of Indigenous People placed the number of indigenous people at 179,000, 1.34% of the population, whilst in 2013 the Inter-Censal Population Survey stated that 2.3% of total population were Indigenous based upon the number of households that speak their mother tongue. Both figures are in contrast to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) survey of 2008 that stated 383,273 IPs were living in Cambodia, or the Commune Data Base statistic of 2015 that counted 276,878 IPs. Such inconsistencies continue between different governmental departments: in 2013 the National Institute of Statistics (NIS-MOP) released figures that stated 10 provinces had 16 indigenous groups whilst in 2015 the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) stated that there were 24 Indigenous groups in 15 provinces. CIPO believes that confusion in the concept of and categorization of ‘Indigenous People’ has created misleading official statistics that understates IPs numbers and creates a bias against IP development projects. From 2016-2017 CIPO, processed and consolidated existing IP data through discussion with relevant stakeholders and members of Cambodia Indigenous Peoples Alliance (CIPA). This concurred with a meeting held in January 2017 between officials from 16 ministries and IPs to reflect upon the Implementation of the National Policy on Indigenous peoples development of 2009, and a working group was established to implement the policy: key strategic actions were identified and the terms of reference developed. In March 2017 CIPO presented their findings to the MoP who agreed to generate, analyze and produce further official statistics on the demographic and Socio-economic status of IPs in Cambodia with an agreed publication date of March 2018. | public_administration |

And genealogists who use them as an invaluable research tool.
The reason military personnel records are sought after by genealogists is the wealth of information they contain. While the information varies, these records can contain:
• Enlistment and appointment
• Duty stations and assignments
• Training, qualifications, performance
• Awards and medals
• Disciplinary actions
• Emergency data
Separation/discharge/retirement (DD Form 214)
Other personnel actions
The best place to start is with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which serves as official repository for records of military personnel who have been discharged from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard. This includes DD Form 214 (a.k.a. Report of Separation) and all other records.
For most researchers, the DD Form 214 (or similar forms prior to 1950) is enough. It includes the most relevant information requested by genealogists. According to the NARA, it may include:
• Date and place of entry into active duty
• Home address at time of entry
• Date and place of release from active duty
• Home address after separation
• Last duty assignment and rank
• Military job specialty
• Military education
• Decorations, medals, badges, citations, and campaign awards
• Total creditable service
• Foreign service credited
• Separation information (type of separation, character of service, authority and reason for separation, separation and re-enlistment eligibility codes)
Before you request any files, keep in mind that these records are only available by the military veteran, next of kin with his or her written consent, or next of kin after the veteran is deceased. The NARA defines next of kin as an un-remarried widow or widower, son, daughter, father, mother, brother, or sister. This means all other inquiries, even from extended family members, are treated as requests from the general public.
How to request military records as a member of the general public.
The general public may only request information only after those records become archival, which is 62 years after the service member’s separation from the military. This year, the general public may request records between 1917 and 1950. (Requests for records prior to 1917 require different forms.)
Requests can be made using the eVetRecs System (which requires an online account) or by mailing/faxing form SF-180. You can find that information online at National Archives Veterans Service Records. Requests for information about veterans prior to 1917 are handled by a different division.
Before you make a request, it is extremely important to gather as much known information as possible. For military records after 1917, for example, requests must include the veteran’s complete name, service number, social security number, branch of service, dates of service, date and place of birth, and additional information if those records may have been involved in the 1973 fire. (Next of kin must also provide proof of death.)
“What stands out to me as the son of two veterans is how important it is to request those files while your loved ones or next of kin are alive,” says Randy Sutton, president of Celebrating Legacy. “It’s too easy to forget critical details or misplace a service number, which could automatically delay any detailed research for up to 62 years from the year that the veteran was discharged.”
The reason NARA requests so much information is simple enough. The National Personnel Records Center receives more than 1.4 million requests annually, with approximately half requesting DD Form 214 and 10 percent requesting files.
Other helpful hints related to military record requests.
• NARA only returns key documents and extracts on the first request. Additional records may require follow-up requests.
• NARA provides an emergency number for living veterans who need information for home loans, veterans benefits, or in preparation for retirement.
• Veterans and next of kin may request medal replacements. Each service branch may have different guidelines for next of kin requesting medals.
• For anyone deemed a member of the general public, reconstructing decorations and medals can only be done with the help of commercial sources. The NARA recommends using Official Military Personnel Files as a guide.
• The NARA makes special allowances regarding Records of Persons of Exceptional Prominence (PEP). These records are made public as soon as 10 years after death. About 500 individual PEP records are listed here.
Celebrating Legacy maintains that the best way to construct a biography or military memoir of service men and women is during active service or immediately following their service. This is one of the reasons that when Celebrating Legacy is launched, active members will receive complimentary membership. | public_administration |

These measures are designed to help reduce the super guarantee (SG) gap, protect employees’ super entitlements and strengthen the ATO’s ability to recover unpaid super.
Changes to disclosure laws will now allow the ATO to disclose information to employees about an employers’ failure to meet SG obligations. This will also allow for the ATO to reveal their processes involved in retrieving these amounts.
Additionally, a free voluntary online education course is now available to help employers understand and meet SG obligations. Education directions permit the ATO to instruct employers who don’t meet their SG obligations to complete the online education course, which includes an assessment element.
Individuals are encouraged to notify the ATO of non-complying employers. If your employer is approachable, you could make them aware of the online course and its benefits prior to the ATO contacting them and directing them to complete it. | public_administration |

Prioritised areas of application
The portfolio targets Norwegian research organisations, but the public sector, business and society at large must benefit from the research results. Research relevant to policymaking and the public administration, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the Ministry of Health and Care Services and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), is an important priority. Other ministries, public agencies, business and NGOs will also benefit from the research. The portfolio also prioritises research relevant to policymakers, the public sector, business and local communities in LMICs.
Calls that require the participation of users include criteria relating to dialogue with and the dissemination of findings to key stakeholders. Interaction with society at large is also promoted by the portfolio. User involvement refers to the involvement of end-users of research findings, during different stages of the research process, from defining the research priorities and questions to interpreting the implications of the research for policy and practice. Many research proposals will have the potential to inform Norwegian investments and participation in global health initiatives with a sound evidence base.
Many research proposals are intended to have the potential to inform Norwegian investments and participation in global initiatives and arenas. The portfolio will seek direct and indirect dialogue with Norwegian policymakers and other Norwegian stakeholders to ensure policy relevance. The portfolio uses the communication channels established with government ministries and takes initiatives to establish regular meeting places between policymakers and researchers.
Relevant users may include community members, patients, public sector officials, and bureaucrats in ministries, politicians, other collaborative partners and officials in international organisations and local and international NGOs and social movements.

Greg Abbott earlier this summer goes into effect next week, banning texting and driving in every county in Texas. “By enacting this public safety legislation, the governor is saving lives by deterring this dangerous and deadly behavior,” said State Representative Tom Craddick, who authored the bill. “For a long time, Texas has needed this law to prevent the loss of life in unnecessary and preventable crashes and we finally have it.” Read the full story here.
This dangerous practice is part of a larger issue of ‘distracted driving’ that is one of the nation’s most deadly driving issues. Distracted driving killed more than 3,000 people in 2015, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. The NHTSA leads the national effort to save lives by preventing this dangerous behavior.

The existing sites are mainly located near residential areas, and the dubious nature of the material being dumped there has made residents very unhappy about living near the dumps.
The problems are exacabated by the involvement of the Napolitan Mafia, the Camorra, in the waste disposal business. They make high profits from illegal dumping, including toxic waste, and it is not in their interests to find solutions that do not involve them.
In January 2008, the Prodi Government proposed the building of three new incinerators to solve the problem, but no progress had been made by the time he was voted out in May. By this time there were 200,000 tons of rotting rubbish on the streets of Naples.
The new Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, took immediate action, making the crisis his priority and appointed the head of the Civil Protection Agency, Guido Bertolaso, to solve the problem. Despite ongoing protest, Bertolaso opened a new landfill site and a new incinerator, he sent 700 tons of rubbish a day to incinerators in Germany, and planned the building of more incinerators. By september 2008 there was no rubbish left on the streets of Naples.
In March 2009, Bertolasso moved onto a new project and Berlusconi declared the problem solved. However, much of the rubbish was actually being held in temporary sites and more trouble was waiting around the corner. In October 2010 waste collection was again halted when rioting broke out in the an area of Naples called Terzigno. The residents erupted in fury when they learnt that the government was opening a new landfill site in a protected area, within the Vesuvius National Park, very close to an earlier controversial site. The residents, already concerned about the high toxic levels at the first site, accuse the government of collusion with the Camorra, believing that there are insufficient controls to prevent the continued dumping of toxic waste in the area. | public_administration |

Switzerland is the world leader in financial opacity, only grudgingly conforming with disclosure agreements among developed countries while courting tax evaders in developing nations, said a report released on Monday by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Tax Justice Network.
Steeped in a long tradition of bank secrecy, Switzerland has recently signed information sharing agreements as part of a reporting program with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. But these efforts have been 'ineffective,' the report said."

As an occupational therapist, he spent more than a decade helping children with special needs and working with seniors fighting their way back from injuries. As an elected official, he has proudly fought for families in both the Erie County Legislature and the State Senate.
Things in New York State are getting better, but there’s still more work ahead. Tim is committed to continuing the fight for better jobs for Western New Yorkers, strengthening middle class families and protecting our children.
Job creation and economic development have remained at the top of Tim’s priority list. He sponsored legislation to foster the growth of green jobs by developing a workforce for emerging clean technology industries, and has hosted several job fairs throughout the 63rd district with hundreds of WNY employers. In 2017, he also launched the Kennedy Jobs File (www.kennedyjobs.com) to help connect job seekers with opportunities across the region in real-time.
Tim believes Buffalo and WNY deserve their fair share of state funding, which is why he stood with leaders from across the region to call for a second round of Buffalo Billion funding in New York's budget. He advocates for new growth and development, but understands that preserving our city's rich history and culture is paramount, which is why he called for $5 million of the Buffalo Billion funding to be used for the reuse and staff restructuring of the Central Terminal.
As a father of three, Tim works hard to protect WNY children and families. He fought to increase the minimum wage to a living wage and worked hard to enact Paid Family Leave, in order to ensure time is available to New Yorkers who need it most during critical life moments. Year after year, he has fought to increase the income guidelines for childcare subsidies in Erie County and NYS, so that parents don't have to choose between a job and staying home to care for their kids. He continues to push to raise the threshold for subsidies so that more families have access to affordable childcare.
Tim was inspired to become an occupational therapist after watching his mom work for years as a nurse at Buffalo General, Mercy, and Millard Fillmore Hospitals. Throughout his career, he has focused his efforts on strengthening protections for healthcare workers. He is a cosponsor of a bill to enact Safe Staffing ratios, which would ensure that nurses are able to do their jobs effectively and patients receive the quality care they deserve.
Standing alongside survivors of child sexual abuse, Tim is leading the charge on widespread reforms to increase opportunities for legal recourse for victims through the Child Victims Act, and working to overhaul the abuse reporting process for school administrators. Tim also championed Jay J’s law to strengthen penalties against repeat child abusers and make sure those who harm our most vulnerable are brought to justice. Jay J’s Law is named for Jay J. Bolvin, a little boy from Western New York who suffered severe physical abuse at the hands of his own father – a repeat offender. In 2013, Jay J’s law unanimously passed the Senate and Assembly and was signed into law – a testament to Tim and the Bolvin family’s hard work and advocacy.
Whether it’s advocating for better funding for first responders, demanding state fixes to our crumbling roads and bridges, working to get our fair share of treatment facilities for those suffering from prescription drug addiction, or fighting for more residential options for those with developmental disabilities, Tim is a strong voice for Western New York. Tim has never backed down from doing what’s right for our community.
Tim and his wife, Katie, are raising their children, Connor, Eireann, and Padraic in the City of Buffalo, not far from where Tim’s parents, Marty and Mary Kennedy raised Tim and his siblings. He went to St. Martin’s Elementary School before attending St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute. He then received his bachelor’s and master’s degree in occupational therapy at D’Youville College. | public_administration |

However, as of Tuesday, Nov. 29, the South Carolina Forestry Commission has lifted the general ban on outdoor burning that was previously in
place for all 19 counties in the SCFC’s Piedmont administrative region. The revoking of the ban will again allow legally permitted burning
statewide, though Forestry Commission officials still urge vigilance when burning outdoors.
State law requires that you notify the Forestry Commission before burning for forestry, wildlife management or agricultural purposes. This
includes burning for wildfire hazard reduction, brush control, endangered species management, wildlife habitat improvement, plant disease control,
crop residue removal and preparation of land for planting trees or agricultural crops. All burning for forestry, wildlife and agriculture must
comply with SC Smoke Management Guidelines. To make notification, regardless of county, please call (800) 777-3473.
This photo taken in the morning of 11-21-16 shows the plume of smoke from Rocky Mountain where the fire that had escaped the northern containment line continues to burn. Hand crews continue to make progress around this new section of the fire.
State Forester Gene Kodama is lifting the
burning ban for all Piedmont counties, effective at 6 p.m.
The revoking of the ban will again allow legally permitted
burning statewide, though Forestry Commission officials still
urge vigilance when burning outdoors.
The Coyote Harvest Incentive Program was created by a Budget Proviso (47.10) passed by the 2016 South Carolina General Assembly. This proviso directs the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) to develop and implement a coyote tagging and reward program. | public_administration |

The Federal Acquisition Regulations System consists of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which is the primary document, and agency acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR. The FAR System does not include internal agency guidance of the type described in 1.301(a)(2). (FAR §1.101)
FAR organization (FAR §1.105-2)
The FAR is divided into subchapters, parts (each of which covers a separate aspect of acquisition), subparts, sections, and subsections.
(1) The numbering system permits the discrete identification of every FAR paragraph. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the part number. The numbers to the right of the decimal point and to the left of the dash represent, in order, the subpart (one or two digits), and the section (two digits). The number to the right of the dash represents the subsection. Subdivisions may be used at the section and subsection level to identify individual paragraphs. The following example illustrates the make-up of a FAR number citation (note that subchapters are not used with citations):
(2) Subdivisions below the section or subsection level consist of parenthetical alpha numerics using the following sequence:
(c) References and citations.
(1) Unless otherwise stated, cross-references indicate parts, subparts, sections, subsections, paragraphs, subparagraphs, or subdivisions of this regulation.
(2) This regulation may be referred to as the Federal Acquisition Regulation or the FAR.
(3) Using the FAR coverage at 9.106-4(d) as a typical illustration, reference to the–
(i) Part would be “FAR part 9” outside the FAR and “part 9” within the FAR.
(ii) Subpart would be “FAR subpart 9.1” outside the FAR and “subpart 9.1” within the FAR.
(iii) Section would be “FAR 9.106” outside the FAR and “9.106” within the FAR.
(iv) Subsection would be “FAR 9.106-4” outside the FAR and “9.106-4” within the FAR.
(v) Paragraph would be “FAR 9.106-4(d)” outside the FAR and “9.106-4(d)” within the FAR.
(4) Citations of authority (e.g., statutes or Executive orders) in the FAR shall follow the Federal Register form guides.
Most cabinet-level federal agencies, but most notably the Department of Defense, have Department-specific supplements to the acquisition regulations. These can be viewed here. | public_administration |
