The Small and Medium Size Business Grant (SMSBG) Program is established, as a part of the Founder-President/CEO's Management Agenda to deliver a system that provides a centralized location for business leaders and entrepreneurs to find and apply for grant opportunities and project funding. The SMSBG Program is structured and created as a mutual fund, whereas a group of stocks, bonds and other investments that are owned and contributed by many investors and managed by a professional Canadian or international investment and financial firm.
SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) account for 60 to 70 per cent of jobs in most OECD countries, with a particularly large share in Italy and Japan, and a relatively smaller share in the United States. Between 30 and 60 per cent of SMEs can be characterised as innovative, of which some 10 per cent are technology-based. Innovative SMEs tend to be market-driven rather than research-driven, and quicker in responding to new opportunities than large firms. They play a key role in developing new markets.
We work to support Women's work through advocacy and awareness raising and to ensure that gender equality is central to policy making, and challenge gender stereotypes by advocating for equality of access and opportunity to translate efforts into action and ensure gender equality in achieved at all levels of society. The practical realisation of equality between men and women depends on both structural change and the implementation of laws; and social and behavioural change.
The National Health Council (NHC) is making a substantial contribution to the FAAVM's mission and purpose by addressing visible minority communities' public health issues and by providing a global perspective on public health. The NHC mainly focuses on dealing with communicable diseases, with conditions and problems affecting health, and aims to provide the maximum benefit for the underprivileged communities across the country.
Knowledge of the policy-making process is valuable since knowing who does what, and where, helps the lobbyist make the best use of the information. For example, an experienced lobbyist will know what minor technical problems can be handled by which junior officials, and where and when to take major policy issues to senior public servants and ministers. We know which problems can be resolved and which will require the formation of coalitions of interests and the building of supportive public opinion through "grassroots lobbying."
"An Interfaith Dialogue for Peace and Security" is a milestone in interfaith research and teaching. This publication also serves as a reference material for doctoral student, professors, scholars, academic institutions, teachers; and anyone interested in furthering understanding of world religions.Lambert Academic Publishing is an imprint of OmniScriptum.
It is one of the most successful, positive and fun filled musical "body safety" programs around. Our program has now been animated so that it can be shared with children in schools, nursery schools and homes alike. The My Body Is My Body Program has been presented live to over 350,000 children in schools and was so effective that we decided to animate it and put it into different languages so that a much wider audience of children could be reached.
The Federal Commission for the Advancement of Women (FCAW) pledges to improve gender equality and prevention of violence against women, especially vulnerable women living within underprivileged communities across Canada. The FCAW conducts extensive policy research studies in the context of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Beijing Declaration. Women comprise more than 40 percent of the global workforce, one third of formal business owners, and responsible for as much as 80 percent of consumer spending. But when women cannot participate equally, economies pay a cost in terms of growth and development.
The Peace Cafe will have live Music and Dance performed by Amateur and Street Artists Musicians, Vocalists, Dancers and Physically Challenged Handicapped persons through daily live performances. We will display and sell paintings, sculptures and artefacts of Amateur, Street Artists and Physically Challenged Handicapped persons. Our Goal is to ensure that all the Amateur and Street Artists are given a chance to perform and are able to earn a livelihood through The Peace Cafe movement. Training classes will be provided to Children who will be encouraged to take up an Art of their interest. Children Birthday Parties with Live Music, Dance Performances will be encouraged.
An investment fund is a pool of money collected from many investors that is used by the fund manager to purchase and sell stocks, bonds, or other securities in accordance with the fund's investment objectives. The most common type of investment fund is a mutual fund. In Canada, there are about 2,800 mutual funds designed for small, medium, and large investors. They offer a wider selection of investment opportunities and management expertise at a lower investment cost than most investors could access on their own. In 1993, a total of US$3.75 billion of public money was paid to help start-ups, the acquisition of equipment, R&D, training and consultancy services, in the form of direct grants, tax concessions, low interest rate loans or loan guarantees.
The FAAVM Socio Economic Development Council (SEDC) plays a vital portion in the overall mission realization of the organization. The SEDC has launched the $3.5 billion trust fund for 2020, which represents a significant socioeconomic advancement and a symbol of achievement for FAAVM. These projects also include developing global trade mechanisms, the issuance of bonds and stocks certificates and the acquisition of real estate properties. Social development is about improving the well-being of every individual in society so they can reach their full potential. The success of society is linked to the well-being of each and every citizen. Social development means investing in people. It requires the removal of barriers so that all citizens can journey toward their dreams with confidence and dignity. It is about refusing to accept that people who live in poverty will always be poor. It is about helping people so they can move forward on their path to self-sufficiency, and contribute to their families and communities in a meaningful way.
We share an active belief in the value of human life, whereby humans practice benevolent treatment and provide assistance to other humans, in order to better humanity for moral, altruistic and logical reasons. It is the philosophical belief in movement toward the improvement of the human race in a variety of areas, used to describe a wide number of activities relating specifically to human welfare.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child remains a vital instrument in FAAVM's work on the protection of children and adolescents. The National Child Protection Convention (NCPC), and the National Youth Development Congress (NYDC) promote meaningful, quality and positive participation of minority children and adolescents. relationship breakdown. In response to the increasing number of children who are being exposed to child abuse and neglect, the NCPC is committed to the safety and well-being of children and is working to implement a comprehensive approach to protecting children.
The Global Outreach Ministries for Peace (GOMP), the principal judicial organ of the FAAVM has initiated many research studies and activities at the national and international levels. These research studies and activities main objectives are to eliminate racial conflicts, gender inequalities, and also act for the dissolution of all form of social injustice, for social and economic development, the establishment of a fair international economic order.
FAAVM Messengers of Peace/Goodwill Ambassadors are distinguished individuals, carefully selected from the fields of art, literature, science, entertainment, sports or other fields of public life, who have agreed to help focus worldwide attention on the work of the FAAVM. Backed by the highest honour bestowed by the Founder-President & CEO on a global citizen, these prominent personalities volunteer their time, talent and passion to raise awareness and promote peaceful relations everywhere in the world.
The main objective is to empower children so they feel positive about their bodies and safe in the knowledge that they have someone to talk to if there is a problem. The songs are fun positive animations, introduced by a character called Cynthie, this should help you to keep the message simple. Sing along, do hand movements and dance, anything to help make the message memorable and positive for the children.
The Federal Tribunal for Civil Justice and Equity (FTCJE) undertakes to establish its human rights judicial machinery by addressing inequities and facilitating the respect, protection, and fulfillment of human rights, as stipulated in internationally agreed human rights instruments including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Bill of Human Rights. The first step in filing a human rights complaint is telling us what happened, why it happened, and where you were when it happened using the contact form.
If you believe you have experienced human rights or civil rights violations, or any form of injustice, you may be able to file a complaint with The Federal Tribunal for Civil Justice and Equity (FTCJE). The FTCJE addresses consistent patterns of gross and reliably attested violations of all human rights and all fundamental freedoms occurring under any circumstances. The complaint procedure addresses communications submitted by individuals, groups, or non-governmental organizations that claim to be victims of human rights violations or that have direct, reliable knowledge of such violations.
Children's rights are the human rights of children with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to minors. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) defines a child as "any human being below the age of eighteen years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier." Children's rights includes their right to association with both parents, human identity as well as the basic needs for physical protection, food, universal state-paid education, health care, and criminal laws appropriate for the age and development of the child and equal protection.

At first glance, the idea of inequity in the health care industry speaks to the availability of adequate coverage, facilities and professionals to meet the needs of low-income families. However, a closer look at the issue reveals that disparities also exist around social determinants of health such as housing, transportation, employment and other environmental, social and economic conditions that impact health. Although a touchy subject, it's no secret that minorities are not always afforded the best options and resources designed to improve and/ or maintain a healthy prognosis.
Lobbying is the process through which FAAVM articulates its interests to federal, provincial or municipal governments in order to influence public policy or government decision-making. Because of the possibility for conflict of interest, lobbying is the subject of much public scrutiny. Nevertheless, it serves the important purpose of providing individual and collective interests with access to government. At the federal level, lobbying activities are governed by the Lobbying Act, while provinces and municipalities have their own laws and by-laws.
The Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) are a set of seven principles that offer guidance for business based on best practices from around the world. The WEPs were developed as a joint initiative between UN Women and the UN Global Compact. There have been many empirical studies that demonstrate the business case for gender equality, however many companies are yet to include gender diversity within their top strategic priorities. By signing up to the WEP organisations can take the first step in transforming their workplace.

I have six sisters and seven brothers, and then there's me. The youngest is four years old. His name is Vinece. The last time I saw him was the summer of 2007. He came from Jamaica with my Grandma Clarinza. When I played with him, it was automatically like my whole world had changed in just a few moments. To hear him laugh, to see him smile was oh so heartwarming. I took him to parks. He was so excited and confused because he was so used to being in Jamaica. He asked me what the spinny thing is. I couldn't tell him because I honestly didn't even know the answer. I let him play on my mother's laptop even though she said not to, but I did anyway because it was new to him.
At night when I tucked him in to sleep he asked me to lay with him, so I did. Right before he fell asleep, he said, "I miss being with you and Mommy." It was kind of like a stab in the heart because it was mine and my mom's choice to leave Jamaica, to get away from all the bad. We just left my brothers and sisters there with my useless dad.
The last day of their visit, I just couldn't say goodbye. So my mom bought me a plane ticket. And there I went back to Jamaica. When I got there, I was truly scared. I was reunited with the family I left. I thought they would all hate me for what me and my mother did. They welcomed me back with open arms. We had a welcome home party even though I wasn't staying long and in the middle of it, I realized my dad was gone. I went off looking for him and found him down the street. He was in a house. My younger siblings said that's where the bad guy lived. I heard my father's voice so I went around back. There he was lying with a knife in his back. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't, I was in shock, so I ran home. I told my Uncle Ki that Dad was in trouble. It looked as if he knew why. The word spread around the party quick and then we heard gunshots coming from outside. People were shooting at our home.
My oldest brother, Zieto, came and rallied us all up. He took us in the basement. The little ones were crying, they didn't know what was happening or why it was happening. We did our best to comfort them. We sang happy songs and played silly games. It was like we were a little family again, just without our parents. That night, us kids all stayed in the basement. We all slept together all cuddled up. I was cuddled with Vinece because I treated him like my little baby. I sang to him as he was falling asleep until he told me, "This is why I miss you and Mommy."
I talked to Zieto the next morning. He said he didn't understand how this happened, and he didn't know why.

- Thesis title: Religion and Belief in the UK Workplace: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
- Supervisors: Professor Emma Tomalin, Professor Seán McLoughlin
I joined PRHS as a White Rose College/AHRC funded PhD researcher in 2017. Taking a multi-sited auto-ethnographic approach, my research explores how UK-based employers are engaging with issues of religion and belief within public, private and voluntary sector workplaces, and the extent to which these engagements support equality, trust and inclusion within and beyond the 'secular' workplace.
My research has emerged directly out of my professional practice, and particularly my ongoing consultancy work which includes a focus on issues of identity and inclusion within education, employment and community settings.
Alongside my PhD I am also a Cumberland Lodge Scholar, a founding member of the Forum on Religion in International Affairs, and an Associate Consultant & Trainer for global law firm Eversheds Sutherland, and interfaith and gender equality charities 3FF, St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace and Fearless Futures.

Pluth, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of Oregon
"Chemical Tools for Investigating Reactive Sulfur Species"
Education: B.S., University of Oregon, 2004. Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 2008 (Robert G. Bergman and Kenneth N. Raymond). Postdoctoral: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008-11 (Stephen J. Lippard).
Research in the Pluth group is thematically based on different aspects of molecular recognition at the interface of chemistry and biology. Our group uses synthetic chemistry to enable new investigations into chemical biology and catalysis. Our main research areas include:
Chemical Biology of Carbonyl Sulfide (COS)
Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is the most prevalent sulfur-containing gas in Earth's atmosphere, but few studies have investigated its role as an important small gaseous biomolecule. Drawing parallels to the other small important gases NO, CO, H2S, and SO2, COS is poised to play a unique role in living systems. Already detected in living systems, COS has emerged as a potential biomarker for organ rejection and other diseases. Aligned with these opportunities, our group has pioneered the development of COS-releasing small molecules and is at the forefront of leveraging these developed tools to further the investigations of the role of COS in biology. These platforms allow for new chemistry to be developed to access COS-on-demand platforms and provide a first line of investigative tools to expand our understanding of the emerging roles of COS in chemical biology.
Detection, Delivery, and Quantification of Biological H2S
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), commonly known for its unpleasant rotten-egg smell, is now accepted as an important enzymatically-produced biomolecule that plays important roles in living systems. Joining CO and NO in a class of molecules often referred to as 'gasotransmitters', H2S plays important roles diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, inflammation, neurodegeneration. As the biomedical applications of H2S continue to emerge rapidly, the development, refinement, and application of robust, reliable and purpose-inspired chemical tools for studying its multifaceted roles are paramount. Aligned with this need, our group is developing new chemical tools to detect and modulate biological H2S. Such tools include fluorescent, chemiluminescent, and colorimetric methods for H2S detection and quantification as well as slow-releasing H2S donor molecules. These investigations have included collaborations with the Parthasarathy (UO) focused on imaging H2S in live zebrafish as well as with the Kevil group (LSUHSC) focused on different applications of H2S analytical methods. Drawing parallels to the positive impacts of chemical tools for detection, quantification, and delivery of biological NO, we anticipate that these newly-developed chemical tools will enable new investigations into the multifaceted roles H2S in biology and facilitate new discoveries into the roles of H2S in human health and disease.
Bio(in)organic Sulfide Chemistry
Despite the important and diverse roles of H2S in biology, the fundamental chemistry by which H2S exerts its action on discrete biological targets remains uncertain. For example, H2S, persulfides (RSSH) and polysulfide (RSSxR) likely contribute to the complex landscape of H2S chemical biology. Furthermore, HS– is the primary form of H2S under physiological conditions which allows for modulation of water/lipid solubility, nucleophilicity, and reduction potential, but also complicates direct investigations of important reactions with metalloenzymes and interactions with the thiol pool. Motived by these challenges, we use small molecule bioorganic and bioinorganic model systems to investigate how H2S/HS– with transition-metal containing compounds, small sulfur-rich biomolecules, and other reactive sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen species (RSONS). In addition, we collaborate with the Johnson and Haley groups at the UO to expand investigations into the role of HS– as an overlooked biologically-relevant anion and as a target for synthetic molecular receptors. As a whole, by studying the reactivity of H2S/HS– with simplified molecular architectures, our long-term goal is to develop and use model systems that allow for greater understanding into the fundamental chemistry associated with the storage, translocation, and action of biological H2S.

EMU's baseball men dropped both ends of a doubleheader at No. 6 Randolph-Macon Saturday in Ashland, Va. The Royals had a hard time slowing down R-MC, who extended their winning streak to 10 games and extended their lead in the ODAC standings to two games.
The losses pushed EMU's losing skid to 10 games, dropping them to a record of 11-21 overall and 2-12 in the ODAC.
Eastern Mennonite will step out of conference play on Monday and try to break their skid by hosting Southern Virginia. Game time of the rescheduled game in Harrisonburg is 4:00pm.
Randolph-Macon 8, EMU 2
The first game was tight until the Yellow Jackets broke it open in the sixth. R-MC plated an unearned run in the first, but the Royals tied it up in their next at-bat on an RBI double from Tyler McFadden (Virginia Beach, Va./Salem).
The 1-1 tie remained until Randolph-Macon plated one run in the fifth before finally chasing starting pitcher Damon Frazier (Waynesboro, Va./Wilson Memorial) in the sixth. A one-out homerun followed by a double sent Frazier packing, but the bullpen couldn't stop the home team either, as the Yellow Jackets eventually scored four runs to go up 6-1. Two unearned runs in the seventh made it an 8-1 margin.
Jaylon Lee (Newport News, Va./Denbigh), Frazier and John Judy (Shanks, W.V./Hampshire) started the eighth with consecutive singles, with Judy's hit sending Lee home. But three straight outs snuffed out the rally and EMU's best chances to score.
Judy had two of EMU's seven hits and also drew a walk. Tyler Wilcher (Staunton, Va./Buffalo Gap) reached base twice with a single and a walk.
Frazier took the loss, tagged for three earned runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings. Spencer Laitinen (Woodbridge, Va./C.D. Hylton) threw a scoreless eighth.
Randolph-Macon 7, EMU 0
The nightcap was all Randolph-Macon, as they limited EMU to just two hits and four total baserunners. The Yellow Jackets, meanwhile, methodically scored in five of their eight at-bats to pull away.
Jacob Merica (Elkton, Va./East Rockingham) and Frazier earned the Royals' only hits, while Corey Willis (Fredericksburg, Va./Massaponax) walked once.
Bailey Hall (Daleville, Va./James River) allowed five runs in 4.0 innings, taking the loss. Tristan Childress (Waynesboro, Va./Waynesboro) was the most effective of EMU's four relievers, not allowing a run in 1.2 innings.

ROCHESTER, Minn. – A Twin Cities college professor is arrested for soliciting prostitution in Rochester.
Solen Desalegn Feyissa, 36 of Rochester, was charged Wednesday after Rochester police said they contacted him through an online ad that had been on the internet since 2017. Police say arrangements were made to meet Feyissa at a local hotel and that's where he was taken into custody after paying 150 dollars for sex.
According to police, Feyissa claimed at the hotel he was just curious and doing some research on how prostitutes live but that was not consistent with previous communications.
Feyissa is listed online as an Instructional Designer at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities.

Arun is a 14 year old High School student from New York City.
In his first year of high school, he suffered a concussion that made it not only hard to focus, but also to sleep. He also found that sleeping was almost impossible without the optimal sleeping environment.
He came to Leangap and cofounded Crescent
A modern bedside lamp that gives users soothing scent, lighting, and sound for optimal sleep.
Despite being the youngest member of his team, Arun was an inspiring leader. Arun managed to win the votes of his fellow classmates and proceeded to lead one of the six teams of Leangap 2017. Over the summer, his team developed the technology for Crescent using research from sleep scientists. They studied circadian rhythm, aromatherapy, and lighting to mimic user's natural sleep cycles.
After initial development, Arun and his team released an early version of Crescent on Indiegogo and raised over $8,000.
Today, Crescent is looking for manufacturing partners and working on the final iteration of their product for mass market release.

Pride Colt Plus Mobility Scooter
Pride Mobility have recently re-launched the Colt Plus due to popular demand for an affordable and comfortable pavement scooter. Now featuring pneumatic tyres, it offers a more comfortable ride, as well as increased stability, power and range over smaller boot scooters.
The Colt Plus has a sturdy feel to it compared to small transportable scooters, which can feel a bit flimsy at times. Designed for regular daily use on pavements, the large 10 inch wheels can handle uneven ground better than the little wheels on boot scooters, and these tyres being pneumatic helps to cushion the ride, offering much improved comfort.
Typical to the Colt range, the scooter comes with an ergonomic wraparound delta tiller, allowing those with limited dexterity to control the scooter. It comes with LED lights, including a headlight, brake lights and indicators, to keep the user visible.
The Colt Plus is the ideal choice for those after a sturdy mobility scooter to use on pavements, who don't want to pay for features only required on faster road scooters. Available in both red and blue, we can supply the Colt Plus for purchase and long-term hire, as well as on the Motability scheme.
We would also recommend considering Invacare's Leo as an alternative, which while more expensive, has a proven track record of reliable performance, backed up by a 2 year warranty, as against the Colt Plus's 1 year warranty.
We have an older version of the Colt Plus available to purchase as a used product - this has solid tyres, and a high-back seat.

Getting to White Hart Lane
Public transport is probably better than driving, and you can get an off-peak London travelcard for around £9 that will allow you to travel on all the buses, underground and overground trains in London.
London Underground
White Hart Lane is not served by an underground station, the nearest one is Seven Sisters on the Victoria Line (light blue on the maps). On a nice sunny day it is nice to walk up from Seven Sisters to the Lane. Leave the station via the High Road exit and head North – it will take about 20 minutes. There are several buses that go to WHL from the tube station – 259, 149, 349 & 279 if you don't fancy the walk. Getting a bus back to the underground station is difficult as the High Road stops moving!
More information can be found here: Transport For London
British Rail
You can travel from Liverpool Street to White Hart Lane Station on the overground train service. It is a horrible journey and seems to take for flipping ever! The walk from the rail station to the ground takes around 5 minutes, but the queues to get back on the central London bound trains after the match can be very long and you might have to wait for over half an hour before you can even get on a train.
Lots of people travel on the underground to Bank then change trains to go to Liverpool Street – unless it is raining don't bother with this, get off at Bank station, exit at the Bank Of England exit and walk up Threadneedle Street, at the top turn left into Bishopsgate and you will see Liverpool Street in less time than it takes to change platforms at Bank!
If your train comes into Canon Street mainline station then it is also an easy walk to Liverpool Street.
I don't drive in London, ever. So I can't comment on this. There are places around the ground that have signs for parking £10, but I'd have thought the best bet would be to drive to somewhere like Edmonton or Enfield, park up there and get the overground train back to White Hart Lane. There doesn't seem to be queues for the trains North after the matches.

Visitors can expect lush, diverse assemblage of wildflowers and vegetation. Unusual at geology at in the form of dolomite outcrops in Arms enables uncommon plants that require abundant calcium to flourish. In fact, these outcrops in the Arms Forest are home to rare plants, like yellow lady-slipper orchids, found nowhere else in Burlington. Visitors may also note that the trees are uncommonly large for Burlington forests. The ledgy, thin-soiled nature of the property prevented its cultivation, allowing the forests to escape some of the agricultural clearing pressure experienced later in the area during the 20th century. Arms Forest is and "Urban Wild" managed by Burlington Parks, Recreation and Waterfront.
Car Access:
Visitors may park behind the North Avenue Alliance Church and access all trails through this point.
Bike/Foot Access:
There are trail entrances to the forest just near the bus drop-off loop at Burlington High School.

PHN responds to anti-vax misinformation
World Immunisation Week (24 - 30 April 2018)
In response to the recent circulation of dangerous anti-vaccination misinformation to households in Brisbane's northwestern suburbs, Brisbane North PHN has re-launched its Medical Mums media campaign to coincide with World Immunisation Week (24-30 April 2018).
The Medical Mums campaign – www.medicalmums.com.au – features local General Practitioners (GPs) and other health professionals talking about why they immunise their own children.
According to Dr Dana Newcomb, one of the GPs taking part in the campaign, she did not hesitate to vaccinate her two boys.
"I know that immunisations are safe and effective," Dr Newcomb said.
"I've seen what happens to children who aren't immunised, and immunising your children is the best thing you can do for their health," she said.
The PHN has received a copy of an anonymous leaflet that had been dropped into residents' letterboxes and which made a series of unsubstantiated, unscientific and false claims about childhood vaccination.
Dr Stuart McAuley is a father to two girls and a GP who joined the Medical Mums campaign last year. He completely rejects the false assertions made in the leaflet.
"Vaccines can be given at the right time, and appropriately, and there are minimal or essentially zero side effects or complications," Dr McAuley said.
GPs can download a patient education resource from the Medical Mums website. The resource explains that a healthy lifestyle and good hygiene are not enough to protect against diseases like measles, whooping cough and diphtheria.
"The upshot of having a well-vaccinated child is that they won't catch these conditions that can be potentially disastrous to a young child and really impact on their quality of life further down the line," Dr McAuley said.
"These are preventable diseases that we're vaccinating against. There is plenty in the community that isn't preventable, so we need to do our upmost to stop things from happening that we can have an impact on," he said.
Medical Mums is primarily a digital media campaign that will target areas where immunisation coverage is low.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 94.3 per cent of five-year-old children in Brisbane North were fully immunised in 2016-17.
This was higher than the national average at 93.5 per cent, but still short of the 95 per cent target.
The immunisation rate reached 95.3 per cent for one-year-old children, exceeding the national target for the first time, but fell to 92.4 per cent among two-year-olds. For more information, visit www.medicalmums.com.au.

Sydney Australia on a Budget
G'day mate! Get ready to plan an affordable vacation to the wonderful world of Sydney, Australia. With amazing views, beautiful weather and many things to see and do, the iconic vibe of this city makes it an incredible destination.
Where to Stay
First and foremost it's important to choose which type of accommodations you would prefer. In Sydney some of the best options come in the form of self-contained apartment-style rooms. These rooms are clean, comfortable and private, they provide a cozy place to sleep at night. Luxuries that you would experience at hotels are not included which means the price is right for budget travelers.
Manly apartments fit the bill. Close to Sydney, Manly offers beaches, a vibrant nightlife, specialty shops and attractions such as swimming, windsurfing, volleyball or weekend markets. The best advice for booking a room is to hurry up and wait! The longer you wait, the cheaper the cost of the room. Two popular booking sites in Sydney are: Wotif and Last Minute. If an apartment isn't for you, bed and breakfasts are also an inexpensive alternative.
Ashfield Manor is a hidden gem for budget conscious travelers. The weekly rate is less than you would pay for a day or two at a five-star hotel. With a complimentary breakfast and kitchen and BBQ areas available for preparing your own dinners, you can save on restaurant expenses too. Relax and lounge in the leafy courtyard with a cup of coffee and a book or magazine from the Ashfield Manor library. And no worries, you can check your email as Wi-Fi is included.
Where to Play
Sydney is loaded with free or inexpensive things to see and do. Swimming and sun bathing are two popular activities that cost nothing. Choose lodging close to attractions so you can walk and enjoy the weather without having to pay for transportation.
Royal Botanic Gardens is an amazing place to visit and no admission fee makes it even better. Check out the spectacular flowers, plants and wildlife in Australia. Over seventy-four acres of flora and fauna awaits. Many people enjoy watching a colony of flying-foxes that lives in the park. Bird watching is also encouraged and possums are frequent visitors to the park. Check out the park schedule and attend a free guided tour.
Circular Quay is located at a small inlet referred to as Sydney Cove. It's the hub of Sydney Harbor and the jumping off point for harbor based attractions. Put on your walking shoes because there is no charge to walk through Circular Quay and you won't want to miss the great views of the Harbor Bridge which is only a short distance away.
BridgeClimb Sydney is a popular activity however you'll have to save your pennies. Climbing the Harbor Bridge will cost between $250 and $350 per person. The Harbor Bridge is the world's tallest steel arch bridge with over 200,000 cars traveling across it daily. Pack a picnic lunch and dine under the bridge at your leisure for free.
The Rocks is a short walk from Sydney Harbor Bridge and Circular Quay. Here you will see why it's called The Rocks. Travel cobblestone lanes while viewing warehouses built from wood beams, crushed cockle shells and hand-carved bricks of sandstone. People watching is free of charge here and a popular activity! If you have a few dollars to spare, for around fifteen dollars you can take a guided tour of The Rocks and learn about the preserved 19th century historic landscape of the oldest neighborhood in Sydney.
Get Packing!
A budget trip down under is no big deal if you know where you're going and what you're doing. Stick to your budget, make good choices and have amazing vacation memories to cherish for a lifetime. What are you waiting for, get packing!

Arctic Sea Ice Day
Every year, the polar bears of Western Hudson Bay are forced ashore in summer when the sea ice melts.
We've created an earth awareness day, Arctic Sea Ice Day, on July 15th, to call attention to sea ice loss in the Arctic and how we can help reverse this trend. We chose July 15th because the breakup on Western Hudson Bay was historically in mid-July, with considerable natural fluctuation between years. Now the breakup is over three weeks earlier, on average, then it was in the 1980s.
Help save the polar bear's sea ice home.
The key to getting the climate system back to functioning the way it should, and to preserving a future for polar bears across the Arctic, is to move away from using fossil fuels for energy altogether.
In the meantime we can also take steps to use much less of the kinds of energy that add heat-trapping gases to our atmosphere.
One way we can work together is by encouraging the shift to renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Not only will this help reduce the carbon emissions that are causing the planet to warm and the sea ice to melt, it will also create jobs, strengthen the economy, and improve the overall environment and our health.
Join us in helping to save sea ice:
1. Learn more about your local and regional renewable energy options and programs.
Are there any solar or wind energy options available to you? Does your local energy company offer sustainable energy incentives? Are there any local programs aimed at reducing emissions? Google knows!
2. Support a state/province/country-wide renewable energy program.
Vote for representatives who commit to investing in programs that make renewable energy affordable and accessible across communities. Let these leaders know that you want efficiency standards and renewable energy sources for constructing, heating, cooling, and lighting the places where we all work and live. Also show your support for carbon pricing plans, which economists say are the swiftest, most efficient paths to a renewable energy future. You can start by calling, writing a letter, or reaching out on social media.
3. Share facts about Arctic sea ice.
Read (and share) our blog post "9 Facts About Arctic Sea Ice." You'll learn surprising facts about sea ice, including the role it plays in our global climate.
4. Learn from experts.
Join us for live chats on our Facebook page as part of our Arctic Sea Ice Day celebration:

Did you know?
The global shift to a renewable energy future is well underway. Solar and wind power now cost less than coal, and more than 9.8 million people worldwide are employed by the renewable energy industry. In the U.S. alone, jobs in wind and solar outnumber fossil fuel jobs 5 to 1.
But there's still more to do. On Arctic Sea Ice Day and every day, it's important to remember that future generations of polar bears and people depend on the decisions and plans we make today. Shifting to renewable energy brings economic benefits, decreases pollution, and creates jobs, but it will also be our legacy for the future.
Why? Using less energy produced by carbon-based fuels reduces our carbon emissions and can slow or even stop global warming, improving our climate, and save our sea ice. Polar bears require sea ice for efficient hunting. Without sea ice, polar bears will decline in both range and numbers, making them more vulnerable to extinction in the future. Sea ice also helps control the global climate—our global air conditioner. A stable climate will help our children and grandchildren, too, preserving the conditions that have allowed people to flourish.

The Lib Dem leader has hired Mark Webster as his senior media spokesperson, starting in June. Webster has 30 years of experience in journalism, including stints at The Evening Standard, The Financial Times, ITN and Channel Five.
'The middle ground in politics is crowded,' said Webster. He said his job was to 'make it clear that we have been consistent, that we were interested in issues such as the environment before they became fashionable'.
He likened his new role to 'pushing at an open door', saying the party's message 'doesn't need gloss or spin'.
He added that Campbell was already recognised as 'the most decent and honest person in British politics' and insisted that Campbell's age was not an issue, given his 'energy, experience, gravitas and vast knowledge'.
Webster will work alongside Puja Darbari, Campbell's press secretary, and Jonathan Oates, the party's director of policy and comms.
Oates said the appointment further' steeled' the Lib Dems' comms team ahead of the next general election.

Nigerians okay planned merger of MDAs, EFCC, ICPC, others
A RECENT poll result from a partnership between NOI Polls Limited and a media organisation has revealed that most Nigerians have endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari's proposal to merge some ministries and parastatals.
Majority of Nigerians (72 per cent) support the proposed merger of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government, with the fusion of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Further findings indicates that most Nigerians (65 per cent) are well informed of the President's decision to appoint his ministers in September 2015, which was made public after the publication by the Washington Post in July 2015 of the President's article titled: "Nigeria Committed to Good Governance and Fighting Terror"(1). This decision stirred varying opinions from Nigerians.
On the one hand, most Nigerians (87 per cent) consider September 2015 as a good time for the President to appoint his ministers, citing 'he needs time to select the best persons' (31 per cent), 'for better governance' (13 per cent), among other reasons.
On the other hand, some Nigerians viewed the President's decision as a delay, while reporting that the appointment of the ministers is 'long overdue' (61 per cent of 13 per cent), and has resulted in 'delay in the execution of programmes' (14 per cent of 13 per cent) as well as 'economic stagnation' (12 per cent of 13 per cent).
More than half (58 per cent) of Nigerians surveyed showed awareness of the proposed merging of some ministries and parastatals by the President; following the recommendation of the transition committee to reduce the number of ministries from its present number 42 to 19, with the aim of reducing the cost of governance as well as making these agencies more effective and responsive to the needs of Nigerians.
In conclusion, the poll has revealed that most Nigerians (65 per cent) are aware and in support (87 per cent) of the President's decision to appoint his ministers in September 2015; mainly as they believe 'the President needs time to select the best persons' (31 per cent) to serve in this capacity; which in turn would aid good governance.
Although some Nigerians (13 per cent) showed no support for the appointment of ministers in September as they believe this exercise is 'long overdue' (61 per cent), and has caused 'delay in the execution of programmes' (14 per cent) among other reasons.
Similarly, more than half of the Nigerian adult population (58 per cent) are aware of the President's proposition to merge some ministries and parastatals to reduce their current figure from 42 to 19; and a higher proportion of
Nigerians in this category (72 per cent) confirmed their support for the proposed merging of some ministries and parastatals.
In line with this, a larger proportion (16 per cent) of them suggesting that the EFCC and ICPC should be merged together.

Hudson School Board, Administration Struggle with the Failed BudgetApril 10, 2015
by Len Lathrop
With a default budget being $1,147,551 less than the budget that the school board had presented to the voters, adjustments to meet the funding level were the focus of Monday night's school board meeting.
Superintendent Bryan Lane, in conjunction with Business Administrator Karen Burnell, all the department heads, and all school principals, has been meeting over the last two weeks to figure out what items needed to be taken out of the budget to meet the approved funding level and to maintain the desired programming. While the default budget is defined as last year's operating budget, less any one-time purchases plus any contracted agreements, it is a complicated formula, but presents a truly bottom line situation. In simple terms, this is what you have for money and you can spend it to make your school district run the best way you can, all with the approval of the five school board members.
The first step in evaluating the default budget is to take last year's budget and add any extra monies that were in certain line items back into the current plan, while defining which line items were short of what was in the failed budget. Lane presented a list of 27 line items where the current budget in last year's budget differed. These totaled $1,158,697. With surplus allocations from the current budget, the total funding needed to complete the programming was reduced to $781,111.
Lane explained that as the budget process starts in August and very early September the following September enrollment is hard to project, and there are several areas where cost adjustments can be made to the projected September 2015 enrollment that will produce an additional $454,600. That means the shortfall total can be recalculated to $263,511.
The next adjustment came from budget requests that could be put off for a year or eliminated: items like parking lot striping district wide, a 10 percent decrease in supplies, all new furniture requests and eight other line items. These adjustments totaled $151,720 which, when approved, would bring the shortfall number to $111,791.
In the 2014-15 school year the school board voted to add several programs to their operational system; these items were, of course, removed when the default budget became effective. They included the teacher mentor program at a cost of $17,769, the Alvirne Math Support Center with a cost of $40,000, a district-wide technology support program originally planned at $21,000 but currently only spending $14,000, for a total of $71,169. The administration felt that these are important programs that have enhanced Hudson schools, so adding the $71,169 back into the budget brings the new shortfall total to $183,560.
Lane explained that this list was composed while meeting with all the administrative people and principals and that some items on the list should be taken off, some items should be looked at, and that some items might be added based on board input.
Lane's recommendation to the school board was that a special meeting he held to review all possible reductions to the operating budget and their effect on programming. Lane will refine the list and have it to the school board by Thursday. In a vote of 5 to 0, the school board has decided to have a special school board meeting on Monday, April 13 at 6:30 p.m. to take public input and discuss how to make up the deficit of $183,560 that is needed to balance the budget.
Other school board actions during the Monday night meeting included approval for an end-of-year field day for first graders sponsored by the YMCA at Camp Sergeant in Merrimack, N.H. The field day is scheduled for June 11 for first graders only. There will be no cost to the family and very limited cost to the district, which is $174 for busing to come out of the student activity fee. This is a spinoff of the superhero program of the YMCA. The Early Learning Center staff recently concluded that staff, parents and teachers found all participants had a great improvement in individual classroom participation/engagement, attendance, and group interaction. This is the first time that the YMCA is offering this type of field day, which will include boating rope courses and field games. In addition, Stonyfield will be visiting with refreshments at the end of the fun-filled day. The school board voted 5 to 0 to approve the field day and also approved 50 JROTC and adult chaperones attending a Junior Reserve Officer Training Leadership conference in August at the Army National Guard training site in Strafford, N.H.

Kenneth's Review
Great Overall Experience
I had a very nice experience with Faith Electric. They came to the home and installed a generator and did some other electrical work for me. It was my first time using them and I was more than happy with how everything turned out. The staff was friendly, professional, and they knew what they were doing. The work was completed very efficiently and I thought that the pricing was very fair, so I would recommend them to future customers. I would also use them again if I needed a similar service.

Distributed Electricity Generation in Competitive Energy Markets: A Case Study in Australia
Deepak Sharma, Robert Bartels
Abstract: The electricity industry in Australia has recently undergone significant restructuring. Generation, transmission and distribution have been unbundled and placed under private or public corporate ownership. Industry restructuring, together with concerns about the environment, have resulted in a noticeable increase in distributed electricity generation, especially small-scale generation. This development has important ramifications for the electricity industry and the wider economy. This paper provides an empirical analysis of the recent growth in distributed electricity generation in Australia, and analyzes the factors driving this resurgence of interest. The paper also attempts to identify the underlying factors contributing to the development of distributed generation. Past and current distributed generation projects are classified according to which technical or institutional factor was dominant in the realization of each project. This enables us to identify changes over time in the rationale for distributed generation. A comparative analysis of the developments in the different Australian states provides additional insights into the roles played by factors such as geography, the availability of low-cost industrial by-products for fuel, and the introduction of competitive markets.

Bak, Christopher (2015) GP 2: Efficient Implementation of a Graph Programming Language. PhD thesis, University of York.

The graph programming language GP (Graph Programs) 2 and its implementation is the subject of this thesis. The language allows programmers to write visual graph programs at a high level of abstraction, bringing the task of solving graph-based problems to an environment in which the user feels comfortable and secure. Implementing graph programs presents two main challenges. The first challenge is translating programs from a high-level source code representation to executable code, which involves bridging the gap from a non-deterministic program to deterministic machine code. The second challenge is overcoming the theoretically impractical complexity of applying graph transformation rules, the basic computation step of a graph program. The work presented in this thesis addresses both of these challenges. We tackle the first challenge by implementing a compiler that translates GP 2 graph programs directly to C code. Implementation strategies concerning the storage and access of internal data structures are empirically compared to determine the most efficient approach for executing practical graph programs. The second challenge is met by extending the double-pushout approach to graph transformation with root nodes to support fast execution of graph transformation rules by restricting the search to the local neighbourhood of the root nodes in the host graph. We add this theoretical construct to the GP 2 language in order to support rooted graph transformation rules, and we identify a class of rooted rules that are applicable in constant time on certain classes of graphs. Finally, we combine theory and practice by writing rooted graph programs to solve two common graph algorithms, and demonstrate that their execution times are capable of matching the execution times of tailored C solutions.

Emergency Preparedness: Go Bags
Emergencies or disasters can be frightening and overwhelming to young children. Early childhood programs such as preschool centers and family child care homes provide safe, nurturing, learning environments for children while their parents are at work or in school.
Catastrophic wildfire is certainly one we all must be prepared for, but flooding, winter storms, power outages, and heat-related issues, are all very likely as well to impact an early childhood program.
Preparing for how to protect and support children when a disaster hits during the child care day is a vital responsibility of the adults who operate these programs. How can child care programs – and families – best prepare for possible evacuation?
The Tuolumne County Local Child Care Planning Council (LPC) is launching an initiative called "Tuolumne County Ready: Prepare and Protect Our Children" to provide emergency tote bags for all children in licensed child care in Tuolumne County. To kick off this effort, we are distributing these totes to any interested families, to support the county-wide effort to help families with children be prepared.
Children thrive on routine, on the familiar. It helps them feel secure. One way that programs and families can partner to provide this security is for each enrolled child in a program to have a Go Bag. This bag should contain energy bars, a water bottle, small toy or game, and an age-appropriate comfort item from home: maybe a blanket, a stuffed animal, a picture of the family – including the dog!
Families can support their child by filling the tote that the child care program has given them with what they know will comfort their child, then bring it back to the program. Go Bags for all the children are kept in a place providers can easily store and easily access in the case of evacuation, as well as a full program Go Kit.
These individual Go Bags not only provide a tangible comfort to a child but are a tool for promoting resiliency. Children can bounce back, grow, and become stronger in the wake of difficult circumstances. When families, child care programs, and the community work together, children are given the means to build their own resiliency while also building trust in the adults who care for them.
All families are encouraged to create their own Go Bags for their child, or pick one up at the annual ICES Children's Fair on Saturday, May 4th at the Tuolumne County Fairgrounds from 10am – 2pm.
Make an Investment in your child's safety!

1. Where I can check the self-archival policies of different publishers or journals?
You may refer to the SHERPA/ROMEO website (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php ) for journal/publisher policies. Some policies are not available in the SHERPA/ROMEO website, but are located in the publisher's official website. When in doubt or when information is not available, always submit the Author's post-print (or accepted manuscript) to the library instead of the published PDF.
2. Can I archive the final published PDF instead of the Author's post-print (or accepted manuscript)?
Yes, some publishers do allow libraries to make their final published PDF freely available online (usually open access publishers), but most publishers only permit the Author's post-print (or accepted manuscript) to be archived; however this version's content is very close to the final published version. Wherever publisher agreements allow, the library will deposit the final published PDF instead of the Author's post-print (or accepted manuscript).
3. I do not have time to check the publisher's policy, can I still submit my papers in the institutional repository?
Yes, simply follow one of the methods (in NTU or NIE) to deposit your peer-reviewed manuscript (which incorporates referees' comments) into your institutional repository . Your librarian will check the publisher's policy and ensure that the publisher permits the full text archival.

Female Rower of the Year - Claire Ellison
For the second year in a row, the Female Rower of the Year was awarded to Claire Ellison who rows out of the Halifax Rowing Club. In 2018, Claire had an exceptional year and was able to make her mark on the national stage. Locally, Claire competed in the Ice Breaker Regatta, Sprints Regatta, North West Arm Regatta, Atlantic Rowing Championships and Really Chili Regatta highlighted by winning the Pelham Trophy at the Cogswell/Pelham Championship race.
Claire Ellison continues to balance her studies in the IB program, her full-time rowing training as well as playing on the varsity volleyball team at Citadel High School, and working as a part-time rowing coach at the Halifax Rowing Club. This year Claire was named to the JW4x for the 2018 Junior World Championships where the boat placed 6th place. She saw incredible results throughout the trials process for the Junior National Team. Not only did Claire win Bronze in the JW1x at the 2018 National Rowing Championships, but she placed in the top percentile out of all the Junior, U23 & Senior women who raced at the Championships. Claire is not only an outstanding athlete, but she truly embodies the qualities of a leader within the rowing community, and continues to inspire rowers of all ages in Nova Scotia.
Male Rower of the Year - Andrew Todd
Write up will be available shortly.
Female Crew of the Year - Hannah Meeson and Tara Barnett
Hannah and Tara both rowed out of the North Star Rowing Club this past summer. Hannah returned to Nova Scotia in May following her first year rowing on the Varsity Rowing Team at the University of Victoria.
The two women teamed up at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta this summer in the Senior Women's Lightweight Pair event. Tara and Hannah raced extremely bravely against boats from across Canada and North America to claim the Henley Gold!
In addition to their successes as a crew, Hannah and Tara are strong supporters of rowing in Nova Scotia. Tara has been a long time member of North Star Rowing Club, assisted on many committees with Row NS and North Star and has been an integral member of the Provincial Team. Hannah, has also made large contributions. In 2017 Hannah was an important member of the Canada Summer Games rowing team and this past summer was coach at North Star Rowing Club while she continued her training in preparation for her second year at UVIC.
Male Crew of the Year - Emerson Crick and Noel Balsor
Emerson and Noel from Halifax Rowing Club and North Star Rowing Club, respectively, each had a stellar years in 2018. Both of these young rowers had oustanding summers rowing for their clubs at local regattas and rowing together at the Ice Breaker Regatta wher they won the junior mens double at the Ice Breaker Regatta and the Sprints Regatta.
The young rowers highlight of the season was when their hard work paid off as both rowers were selected to row for Team Nova Scotia at the 20158 National Rowing Championships in Burnaby in the pair. The two rowers impressively rowed to a silver medal in the junior men's pair event, improving on the bronze that Noel captured the previous year in the same event with a different partner.
Club Coach of the Year - Peter Webster
Peter is a committed member of the rowing community in Nova Scotia. Peter gives an immense part of his life to volunteer: as a coach at his home club and with the Provincial Team; and as a board member with his home Club. Peter has been coaching for several years at several different levels. He is currently one of the most respected and highest qualified coaches in the province. This year, he coached a large group of athletes (see below) who competed and has great results at several local and Atlantic Regattas, and at Henley and National Championships.
President's Award - Andrew Todd and Jenna Pelham
Write up will be available shortly.
Umpire of the Year - Marilyn MacMullin
Marilyn has been an incredibly dedicated Umpire since 2006! She brings together both knowledge and experience of umpiring and racing and is able to compassionately help athletes and volunteers alike better understand the complexities and application of the Rules of Racing. Marilyn was our most active Umpire volunteer for the 2018 season, achieving a perfect attendance
Volunteer of the Year - Brian Robinson
Brian has been an incredibly dedicated volunteer for many years for Row Nova Scotia and for his home club Halifax Rowing Club. Brian has been the regatta statistician and the lifeblood behind the operations of the regattas in Nova Scotia for a number of years.
This year Brian has worked extremely hard to seamlessly integrate the use of a new regatta registration system into our regattas. Without the tireless efforts of Brian it would not be possible for Nova Scotia to host the number and quality of regattas we currently have. He has taken on this task and the troubleshooting of integrating Regatta Central in stride!
Mileage Award - Jess Houtsma
I am nominating Jess Houtsma for the Mileage Award, as she continues to demonstrate her dedication, persistence and hard work within the sport of rowing. As one of HRC's Para-Rower, Jess is a Masters Athlete living with Cerebral Palsy, yet in all of the years I have coached her she has never, ever let that become an obstacle in her pursuit of training. Jess is an integral member of the Halifax Rowing Club, and despite taking almost an hour for her to walk each way to the rowing club from her home, Jess regularly trains twice a day on the water. She is always the first one on the dock, ready to greet athletes and coaches with a smile as she arrives early to eagerly gather her equipment and prepare to make the most of her time on the water.
Regardless of the weather, waves or conditions, Jess is always ready to row, and never backs down from a workout. Her dedication to rowing is remarkable, as Jess uses her vacation time at work to allow her to arrive later at work every day so she can train at 7:00am before work, and on her days off she will stay and row for double sessions because she cannot get enough of the sport.

10X Engineered Materials LLC, a clean-tech science and engineering startup company, plans to establish operations in Wabash County, creating 26 new, high-wage jobs by 2021, state, local and company officials announced Monday morning, July 9.
The firm will be located in the former Spiece Warehouse building, 11672 Manchester Ave.
"Indiana's reputation as a hub for innovation continues to grow as high-tech companies like 10X choose our state for growth," said Elaine Bedel, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). "Our talented workforce and business-friendly environment make Indiana the best place to start and scale a business. We're excited 10X has chosen Indiana for growth and look forward to seeing the new technologies they develop and jobs they create in northeast Indiana."
Local officials have been working with company officials for about a year to convince them to locate here, according to Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County.
"We originally were focused on a different building that ended up selling in the meantime, and then we worked to find an additional suitable location that worked for them," Gillenwater told The Paper of Wabash County. "The state and city have been great partners, not only from the economic development aspect, but also with supporting state permitting that was necessary, a zoning variance through the Wabash City BZA and many others.
"We have a great team here working to make this project happen, including Bob and Kristi Lundquist, Rick Fisher, Doug Lehman and others. It really was a team effort to get them here to Wabash."
Mayor Scott Long said, "This announcement by 10X Engineered Materials is welcomed, and is a culmination of months of work by the city of Wabash, Grow Wabash County, and many other local people. The jobs created will benefit our citizens, the manufacturing process will benefit our local industry and mitigate waste materials, turning them into a marketable product which helps our environment. We look forward to a long relationship with this company and its leadership team."
10X, which will develop innovative material process technologies and products using industrial byproducts and other stranded or under-utilized resources, will invest more than $4 million to establish a 50,000-square-foot operations center at 1162 Manchester Ave. in Wabash, with plans to add another 22,000 square feet to accommodate its growth. The company, which was fueled by a financing round led by Ohio-based NCT Ventures, will work with insulation manufacturers in a complementary separation process to produce new material products from insulation byproducts. Construction on its facility is scheduled to begin this year.
Gillenwater said the firm is "a new cleantech company that has created new, patent-pending, technology to create a new class of engineered abrasive materials from byproducts from insulation manufacturers in the region."
The company will hire up to 26 full-time employees, including a plant manager, skilled maintenance and manufacturing associates, administrators and salespersons. New positions are expected to offer salaries above the county average wage. Interested applicants should visit the company's career webpage at www.10XEngineeredMaterials.com.
"10X is proud to call Wabash home," said Jacob Vaillancourt, officer of 10X. "As a fast growing clean-tech company it was important we invest in a location with pro-growth policies while also offering our company Midwestern values that align with our company's core values. 10X is playing an active role in securing a sustainable future through game-changing innovation.
"The well-known "Hoosier Hospitality" has been refreshing and we are excited to become a contributing and cooperative member of the community. The industrial talent of Indiana's workforce will be critical for us as we continue to develop and manufacture next-generation material products in Indiana and across the country."
Gillenwater said 10X officials initially contacted local officials about their project and needs.
"Over the last year, we worked with them to put them in contact with other potential customers and suppliers, to find a location, negotiating incentives and to help them work through a new program that came out with the federal tax legislation that created Opportunity Zones to use to their advantage" he said. "In short, we worked hand-in-hand with them over the last year to pull this project together and find it a home in Wabash County.
"They have been great to work with from the get-go, and they will be great partners in Wabash."
The IEDC has offered 10X up to $145,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning that until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
The city of Wabash will consider additional incentives at the request of Grow Wabash County.
Those incentives are expected to include a $200,000 loan to be repaid through tax increment financing, or TIF district, that was approved last week by the city's Redevelopment Commission.
