Informal Discussion If an employee has a problem relating to a work situation, the employee is encouraged to request a meeting with his or her immediate supervisor to discuss the problem in an effort to clarify the issue and to work cooperatively towards settlement.
Discussion Staff has reviewed the proposal relative to all relevant policies and advise that it is reasonably consistent with the intent of the MPS. Attachment B provides an evaluation of the proposed development agreement in relation to the relevant MPS policies.
Results and Discussion Table 1 (top) shows the root mean square error (RMSE) between the three tests for different numbers of topics. These results show that all three tests largely agree with each other but as the sample size (number of topics) decreases, the agreement decreases. In line with the results found for 50 topics, the randomization and bootstrap tests agree more with the t-test than with each other. We looked at pairwise scatterplots of the three tests at the different topic sizes. While there is some disagreement among the tests at large p-values, i.e. those greater than 0.5, none of the tests would predict such a run pair to have a significant difference. More interesting to us is the behavior of the tests for run pairs with lower p-values. ≥ Table 1 (bottom) shows the RMSE among the three tests for run pairs that all three tests agreed had a p-value greater than 0.0001 and less than 0.5. In contrast to all pairs with p-values 0.0001 (Table 1 top), these run pairs are of more importance to the IR researcher since they are the runs that require a statistical test to judge the significance of the per- formance difference. For these run pairs, the randomization and t tests are much more in agreement with each other than the bootstrap is with either of the other two tests. Looking at scatterplots, we found that the bootstrap tracks the t-test very well but shows a systematic bias to produce p-values smaller than the t-test. As the number of topics de- creases, this bias becomes more pronounced. Figure 1 shows a pairwise scatterplot of the three tests when the number of topics is 10. The randomization test also tends to produce smaller p-values than the t-test for run pairs where the t- test estimated a p-value smaller than 0.1, but at the same time, produces some p-values greater than the t-test’s. As Figure 1 shows, the bootstrap consistently gives smaller p- values than the t-test for these smaller p-values. While the bootstrap and the randomization test disagree with each other more than with the t-test, Figure 1 shows that for a low number of topics, the randomization test shows less noise in its agreement with the bootstrap com- Figure 1: A pairwise comparison of the p-values less than 0.25 produced by the randomization, t-test, and the bootstrap tests for pairs of TREC runs with only 10 topics.

Settlement Discussions This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
Formal Discussions A. Consistent with 5 USC 7114(a)(2)(A), the Union, as the exclusive representative of bargaining unit employees, shall be given the opportunity to be represented at any formal discussion between one or more representatives of the Agency and one or more employees in the bargaining unit or their representatives concerning any grievance or any personnel policy or practices or other general conditions of employment (and not, e.g., performance reviews).
Mutual Discussions The Employer and the Union acknowledge the mutual benefits to be derived from dialogue between the parties and are prepared to discuss matters of common interest.
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE The Couple have: (check one) ☐ - ALREADY DISCLOSED to one another their financial disclosures in accordance with State law. ☐ - WAIVED their right to view each other’s financials along with any other disclosures, forms, or discovery proceedings as by right under State law.
Continuing Disclosure The Creditor may be required to provide you with regular statements. The statements will give you information about your account. Statements will be provided every six months if required. What Could Happen if You Fail to Meet Your Commitments: Security interestThe Creditor has an interest in the property listed below to secure performance of your obligations under the contract, or the payment of money payable under the contract, or both. If you fail to meet your commitments under the contract, including by granting a security interest over this property to another person, then to the extent of the security interest, the Creditor may be entitled to repossess and sell this property. If the sale of the property does not cover the whole of your liability to the Creditor, you will remain liable for the shortfall.Make: Model: Year: Registration No.: _ Chassis / Serial No.: Vin No: Colour: _ Default Interest Charges and Default FeesIn the event of a default in payment and while the default continues you must pay the Default Interest Charges. In the event of a breach of the contract or on the enforcement of the contract, the Default Fees specified below are payable. Your credit contract allows the Creditor to vary these fees and charges. Default Interest ChargesDefault interest is calculated at the rate of % per annum plus the annual interest rate referred to in the “Interest” section above. If you fail to make any payment (whether interest or otherwise) on the due date, you must, upon demand by the Creditor, pay the Creditor default interest on the overdue amount from the due date until the date that the Creditor receives full payment of that overdue amount. Default Fees $ dishonour fee, in respect of each payment which is dishonoured, or for which an automatic payment fails. The fee is payable and will be debited to your account at the time the relevant payment was due. $ late payment fee, in respect of each payment which is not made on its due date and remains outstanding for seven days after its due date. The fee is payable and will be debited to your account seven days after the due date for payment. $ repossession action fee, in respect of the Creditor commencing repossession of the Goods. The fee is payable and will be debited to your account at the time such repossession is commenced. $ post repossession fee. The fee is payable and will be debited to your account after realisation of the Goods or abandonment of realisation.An early repayment recovery amount as described in the “Full Prepayment” section below may be payable by you on the enforcement of the contract on demand by the Creditor. The method for calculating the early repayment recovery amount is further described in the General Conditions (Consumer).Costs incurred by the Creditor in connection with the enforcement of, taking advice on or taking any action pursuant to the contract, or otherwise in connection with the contract, are payable by you on demand by the Creditor on a full indemnity basis.
