All Wet! Legacy of Juniper Utility has residents stewing By Erin Foote Marlowe · · Last Friday, a collection of men and women sat in Marion Palmateer's plush Southeast Bend living room and told a story of frustration, talking over one another and becoming increasingly angry about their understanding of the legacy of Juniper Utility and what it means to them. These folks who gathered on Palmateer's soft white couch and chairs consider themselves the modern-day victims in the more- than-a-decade-old saga of Juniper Utility Co., a water service provider formerly owned by housing developer Jan Ward in Southeast Bend. In 2002, it was condemned by Bend for what the city said was risk of catastrophic failure. Money and "authority" are at the core of the story now for this group, as opposed to the low water pressures of a decade ago—a problem that became so egregious that, by 2001, it became a challenge to take a shower or fill a washing machine. Water lines routinely broke down. The people in Palmateer's living room, "a loose collection of individuals," as they call themselves, are residents of neighborhoods formerly served by Juniper Utility, including Timber Ridge, Mountain High, Tillicum Village and Nottingham Square. They are frustrated with a history they felt they had no control over but is now costing them in water bills they believe will cost them thousands more per year than they ever expected. In 2004, homeowners association representatives from their neighborhoods signed an agreement with the city that said the owners of the roughly 700 homes of the neighborhoods would pay 100 percent of the costs associated with providing water to the neighborhoods, including making improvements to the system. But this group of residents feels the agreement wasn't in their best interest and they had no say in the decision. An HOA board member at the time said a ballot was not sent out to homeowners for approval and, because there was no vote of homeowners, these frustrated residents believe this 2004 agreement could be illegal. Further underscoring the issue, it appears the agreement was never recorded with the county clerk's office. So, when these new people bought houses in these neighborhoods, the tab for paying to upgrade the water system didn't show up in their title searches. "Think of the banks that lent against it," said Dan Kehoe, a resident of Mountain High who has taken a lead role in challenging the agreements between the HOAs and the city. "That's called bank fraud and people go to jail for it." But although frustrations over this agreement are evidently fresh for these residents, it would appear that the issue should be moot because in 2011 the HOAs and the city reached a new agreement—one that should reduce costs for residents. "We moved them from a bad agreement to a good agreement," said city of Bend Finance Director Sonia Andrews. "From something that would cost them a lot to something that would be more reasonable." Each homeowne.

All three of the Aristotle, Hobbes, and Douglass readings discussed power in different ways. How is power related to justice? How should it be shifted in order to better serve all citizens? Please reflect on this idea of power and refer to at least two of the three philosophers listed.

Never before has this industry experienced this level of transformation in so many aspects of the event planning process. Attendees, suppliers and event planners have to deal with ‘new’ and ‘different’ on many levels. As a segue from last year’s report, we are again looking at the five major areas impacted by this change: G TECHNOLOGY G EVENT MARKETING G VENUES G DESTINATIONS G EVENT DESIGN We are also looking at two new categories of trends: G EVENT STYLING G DESTINATION MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (DMCS) The spend for these items represent a massive input for the industry and we feel times are mature enough to analyze developments on a yearly basis. :: INTRODUCTION 10 EVENT TRENDS FOR 2018 Julius Solaris 10 Event Trends for 2018 :: 5 AD http://eventmb.com/2iVmZfW MACRO TRENDS AFFECTING THE EVENT INDUSTRY. A FORECAST. There are common themes you will find in the following categories of trends. We refer to these as macro trends. They are inherent to the economic, political, social and technological developments happening around us. Here are the most significant affecting the event industry: G Sexual Harassment. With the explosion worldwide of the #metoo movement and the very public charges against many celebrities, politicians and people of influence, it seems it is finally time for the event industry to reflect on sexual harassment. Many reports have popped up of events being at the ideal stage for harassment or violence to happen. As a result there is increased pressure to step up the measures to protect attendees against perpetrators. A mo.

All of Us Research Program—Protocol v1.11 pre02 IRB Approval Date 2 Program Leadership and Governance Leadership The All of Us Research Program (AoURP) is a large collaborative initiative sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The research program functions as a consortium of awardees from multiple institutions. Its governance involves representation from each awardee and participant representatives. The consortium also includes the program director and project scientists/specialists from NIH. Each awardee has responsibilities commensurate with expertise. See Table 0–1: Program Unit Awardees for a list of NIH-funded awardees and contact Principal Investigators (PIs). Dr. Joshua Denny of Vanderbilt University Medical Center serves as the Principal Investigator on behalf of the consortium. Governance The Steering Committee (SC) is the primary governing body of AoURP. The SC recommends strategic directions for the program and oversees planning, coordination, and implementation of the program’s overall operations. Its 50 voting members include PIs from each awardee as designated in the notice of award; representation from NIH, comprising of the deputy director and chief officers of AoURP; representation from community partners and participants (see section 3.1); and additional representation as needed to ensure balanced representation of stakeholders. The governance also includes an Executive Committee (EC) which is a small governing body composed of 17 members, that ensures the program is effectively meeting its objectives and mission. The EC proposes solutions to challenges and provides the Director with strategies, options, and information to aid in programmatic decisions. The Director has discretion to delegate specific decisions to the EC. Membership of the EC is determined by the Director and reflects the awardees within the consortium with balanced interests to ensure effective deliberation. The Steering Committee may appr.

Dr. Ford in particular fulfilled this desire by helping others to help themselves. Describe how you plan to use your education to better your community or help others to help themselves, and how receiving this scholarship will help you in doing so? 250-750 word essay All of our honorees brought great personal and professional successes to their work environment. What would you consider one of your greatest professional successes? How did your success benefit your organization and its people? 250- 750 word essay Respond to Tawnya and Noeme post Creating the ideal marketing plan requires many steps and gathering data. “Knowing the needs of the customer and having a clearly articulated mission will help to target the message to an audience who will be most interested in the service that is being provided” (Sciarra, Lynch, Adams, & Dorsey (2016) p. 340). To find these needs, a needs assessment can be done. After gathering the results, a plan can start to form. Creating a Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats chart (SWOT) will give you a broader view on how to target your population. “The first step in conducting SWOT analysis is to identify your stakeholders and data that has already been collected” (Sciarra, (2016) p. 340). Your stakeholders will guide you into the right direction for a plan of action. Looking at the type of population including the children, families, and staff members will give you the data to create your SWOT. Moving forward with the data, now to breakdown your SWOT data analysis and create a marketing plan. Strengths; reviewing this section will give you an objective overview of any changes needing to be made. Strengths can consist of staff, location, cliental, and possibly opportunities. If there are areas of weakness this gives us the ability to make changes. Moving forward with those changes leads us to Weakness, do we see a pattern of areas? What can we do to upgrade or change these areas we have identified? Moving on next to Opportunities, what options do we have beyond what we have now? Is there room for growth both financially and structurally? Finally, Threats to evaluate. Are we looking at opening a facility next door to two other highly rated centers that may cause us competition and difficulty building a successful business? Is there a possibility that the area is losing population and economic strength? Gathering the data and taking a step back and reviewing all the pro’s and con’s will give us a bigger picture when deciding which way to market our audience. Taking a look at the strengths from all the gathered data will give you a good direction to follow for reaching protentional public relations opportunities. For an example, location, your childcare facility has a prime location in your town and your coming up on your grand opening soon. Planning an.

Codependency The term “codependency” arose in the 1970s in reference to the changes one person makes to adjust to the addiction of another. For some, the term has broadened somewhat to include focusing on the needs of others to the exclusion of their own needs. However, controversy surrounds the term—some believe that codependency is nonexistent. Do you think codependency exists in the family members .
