The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority is conducting public consultation at St Paul HS to collect information about the school community, and individuals’ thoughts, about potentially changing the school’s bell times and moving grade 7 and 8 students to public transit.
During the opening plenary of the 2016 National Regional Transportation Conference, several presenters offered information about the regional planning work being conducted that ties transportation to community and economic development visions. Speakers included:
Gena McCullough, Bi-State Regional Commission (IL/IA); Jennifer Tinsley, Lower Savannah Council of Governments (SC); Elijah Sharp, New River Valley Regional Commission (VA); Mari Brunner, Southwest Regional Planning Commission (NH); Julio Portillo, River Valley Regional Commission (GA); Robby Cantrell, North Central Alabama Regional Council of Governments.

March 26th this year saw over 300 healthcare organisations take action to promote sustainability and increase public health awareness and we are fortunate enough to have the support of; Public Health England, Department of Health, Department for Energy and Climate Change and The Prime Minister, David Cameron. Working with these stakeholders we aim to further develop the links between health and sustainability thus improving economical and health outcomes within the UK.
For the 2016 campaign, beginning in September, and to celebrate our 5th year of the campaign we will be promoting 50kg of carbon. This is effectively promoting what the public and health professionals can do to save 50kg of carbon. This could be achieved through; walking to work, cycling, planting a tree etc.

A report on a recent project to improve the safety performance of short tunnels on and under the Strategic Road Network with regard to vulnerable road users and at the same time reduce crime and the fear of crime for non-motorised road users
It is considered that there is a disjoint / void between BS5489-1 and BS5489-2 when it comes to the lighting assessment and hence application of artificial lighting within short tunnels.
Highways England commissioned WSP and University College London (UCL) to undertake a detailed research assessment of current UK and global short tunnel lighting practices with respect to such features. This included detailed surveys, investigations and research (such as using luminance imagery and eye tracking equipment to understand the users visual needs) of a range of existing short tunnels with the aim of publishing a report with recommendations to ensure that suitable user visual acuity is achieved.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

• OSTA’s Hazard Zone Review procedure uses an objective
approach that is data-driven, yet recognizing the unique
characteristics of road networks in different communities
• OSTA expects that children under the age of 11 will be
accompanied by another responsible person
• Up to the parents to determine whether their child can
manage certain risks

Step 1 – Identify infrastructure – sidewalks, intersections (type),
various routes to school
Step 2 – Use Data Collection Sheets (crossings/corridors) to evaluate segments
of each route - If an automatic warrant is established, evaluation
stops and transportation assigned
Step 3 – Use Evaluation Sheet to assign points to each potential risk identified
in Data Collection Sheet to determine if a combined warrant is
established
Kindergarten – 60 points within 800m
Grades 1 to 3 – 60 points within 1.6km
Grades 4 to 8 – 100 points within 1.6km
Step 4 – Assess mitigation of risk ie Crossing Guard
