Targeting Support: Who Will Welfare Reforms Hit Hardest?
Speakers: Deven Ghelani, Policy in Practice, Guy Chaundy, Birmingham City Council
Event: Inclusion's IntoWork2015 Convention, Wed 15 July 2015, Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London.
The speakers told attendees how data insights are helping reshape the distribution of scarce support resources for two large councils in England.
By analysing data they are collect the councils have gained valuable knowledge about the cumulative impact of welfare reforms on individual households in their respective areas.
What's more, those councils have also forecasted what the likely impact of future welfare reforms will be.
This means they know which households are most vulnerable to cuts, and which will be better off under Universal Credit.
Crucially, these insights allow them to therefore deliver support campaigns where they're most needed.
Deven Ghelani is the director of Policy in Practice, an organisation founded to ensure that policy works for people on the frontline. He was joined by Guy Chaundy from Birmingham City Council.
Sen. Don Harmon and Rep. Camille Lilly held a town hall meeting in Oak Park to share information and answer questions on the Senate’s budget plan and the status of budget negotiations in Springfield.

Relationship with the Degree of Saturation of the Swelling StrainIJERA Editor
Expansive soil in SokooNgawi East Java often gives problems in the building stability. This research aims to study the properties of the soil in the area that mainly related to changes in moisture content in particular the influence of the degree of saturation of the swelling strain. Swelling tests were performed on disturbed soil by means of oedometer at 6.9 kPa overburden pressure. Initial moisture contents used were varied from 15.04% to 42.88%. Swelling strain was measured using overburden pressure 6.9 kPa and swelling pressure obtained from the pressure required to return the sample to the original condition. The test results show that for initial moisture content 15.04 % , γd= 1.471 gr/cm ³,S = 50.70 % the maximum swelling strain were 38.04% and swelling pressure was 2392 kPa. The initial moisture content 42.88%, γd= 0.926 gr / cm ³, S = 65.26 % the minimum swelling strain was 1.68 % and swelling pressure was 34 kPa.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2015 HOUSE MAJORITY PACKAGE FOCUSES ON
MODERNIZING GOVERNMENT
Agenda includes fixing public infrastructure, facilitating business and increasing public
participation in government
Honolulu, Hawaii – Leaders of the state House of Representatives majority today announced
their package of priorities for the 2015 legislative session. House majority lawmakers will focus
their combined efforts on three major areas of concern to modernize government: fixing public
infrastructure, facilitating business and increasing participation in government.
“There are some challenges facing our State that need to be fixed and not deferred,” said House
Majority Leader Scott K. Saiki (McCully, Kaheka, Kakaako and Downtown). “This includes,
for example, the Hawaii Health Connector, the public hospital system, housing, the electric grid,
and our prisons. The solutions may be long-term, so we want to spend the next year setting the
framework to address them. Our committee chairs are very positive and will work constructively
with the Governor, the Senate, and other stakeholders.”
HOUSE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY PACKAGE
Our State is only 55 years old. Yet, some of the most urgent needs are provided through
outdated means. In the next year, we will work to set a framework to modernize government.
Our work will be based on the needs of real people in our communities. Our solutions will be
guided by our core Democratic principles of tolerance, equality, opportunity, and fairness. We
welcome the challenge. Here are our goals.
Fix Public Infrastructure
Residents rely on public infrastructure on a daily basis to survive. Some of the
infrastructure was created decades ago. We recognize that both physical and non-physical
infrastructure needs to be modernized.
Protect the public interest while modernizing the electrical grid
Expand telecommunications capacity
Create a sustainable public hospital system
Modernize correctional facilities
Expand affordable housing
2. Facilitate Business
Everyone benefits from a healthy economy. “Business” is comprised of risk-takers, such
as small restaurant owners, farmers, and mom and pop retailers. We can support business by
ensuring that government is modernized and adaptable to changing circumstances, just as
business is.
Modernize our tax collection system so that everyone pays their fair share
Maintain the payment of unfunded long-term public liabilities
Ensure appropriate transit-oriented development
Increase local food production
Protect our military bases
Expand opportunities for pre-school and school-to-work programs to benefit
students and develop our workforce
Increase Participation in Government
The most critical important check on government is an informed and involved citizenry.
At minimum, residents should vote. We will work to facilitate, rather than hamper, public
involvement in government.
Standardize voting procedures
Streamline ethics and campaign spending laws to ensure consistent standards and
enforcement
Increase technology to allow for neighbor island tele-participation
